Mainly Sizzix tags

For some unknown reason I seem to find myself making a lot of tags.












I also made a experimental pendant from grunge paper

And  I have occasionally been entertained by Little miss X








She is a true Hat girl
And also very flexible

And very messy








The positioning of the hands should have warned me


Too Late !
This whole sequence was less than a minute


The River Severn,earlier this week on a beautiful Spring day.

A Busy Day

I did not think I had created much today,but now looking back I have been quite busy.
Early morning

I created this for a sick friend from her companies in house magazine,I hope she sees the funny side ,of my recycling effort.
I used Spellbinders and Sizzix dies.
Lunch time
I decided to have a go at one of Kit’s  http://paperkitz.blogspot.com/
mini albums,please check out her blog and videos on YouTube.




Mid Afternoon
I had seen these on a Sizzix link and decided to have a go,

Tiny coin purses cut with a large Sizzix tag die, As you can see I have several waiting to be sewn up.
This Evening
A very quick tag , cut from a Amazon box and decorated with a serviette,Sizziz bird and word, rubber stamping and flowers.

I even had time to walk across the fields and check on this horse which has been abandoned


It has no food or water ,and I am worried it is going to be killed on the nearby main road,several have been killed already this year,and it is only a matter of time before there is a human fatality. I did take the police to it yesterday ,but they do not have any resources to deal with these abandoned animals.

So actually my day was not as unproductive as I thought.

The theme of this months pin swap over at  http://milliande.ning.com/  is  hearts and this is what I am sending to Barbara and Ros

we are asked to make one pin  but I thought  I would send  a extra  as they are such fun to make.The cream ones are cut from calico and lace and embellished with a shrink plastic heart. The pink ones are cut from layered and stitched mixed fabrics.
I am also sending these tags ,I hope they like the grunge look. I have been inspired by Tim Holtz

these are cut with a Tim Holtz Sizzix die from a cardboard box, a vintage page was glued on and then ripped off.then a mask was put on and brushed over  with Gesso.Once dry I used a Kanban stamp and archival ink to create the image.The heart and wings were cut with another Tim Holtz die,coloured with ink and applied to give a 3D effect..I sprayed some cotton tape with ink and stamped the word LOVE several times.
I also have made ATCs with the theme St Patrick also over at  http://milliande.ning.com/

And I am also sending a tag with these

I also made a very quick Hang Up for my WONDERFUL  next door neighbours to celebrate their Diamond wedding anniversary 60 years ,what a achievement.

And guess what it was cut with several different Sizzix dies,the diamonds were embossed with a embossing folder.
Also inspired by Kit  http://paperkitz.blogspot.com
I made a mini album,Yes I rushed it,and I did not wait until I had all the papers I would have liked to use, but I was quite happy with the result.

and I made a short video to show the pages.

Last weekend I also made these Parker House rolls ,very easy,very quick and DELICIOUS.






Little Miss X has been very Cute

I  also had fun with a wig and a grunge app on my phone.
A few years ago i received a RAAK  (random act of kindness ) from a fellow member on milliande.  This Beautiful kind hearted woman has remained a dear friend, and her artwork has watched over me since it arrived.
Can I please ask that you all send hugs and healing thoughts to Pam who has been very ill for sometime,and is far from home.


And to finish a Valentine inspired image.
