A quickie tonight

Wow where does time go?

Last week my shower pump leaked and flooded half of downstairs.  That was fun - a week of cleaning up and trying to dry stuff out.  At least the insurance are happy to pay out, not that I've had time to get any quotes.  This week, I'm not really sure what happened, physio and work I think.  How boring!!

Anyway this was supposed to be quick so here's a photo of my entry into Simon Says Stamp and Show this week where the theme is stars.

The frame is tissue taped thanks to the fab Tim Holtz.  I then Gesso's, distress stained and used snow cap dabber to stamp the Tim Holtz star.  The inside of the frame is lined with some beads which I coloured with alcohol ink.  A bit of metal embossing and a PaperArtsy stamp later, Voila.



Hope you like

    Hello and so sorry to hear about your leaking shower pump that flooded your downstairs! That is such a mess! Evidently it the water didn't get your paper crafting supplies though! Yippee! Your entry into Simon Says Stamp and Show this week is lovely. I love the techniques you used!

    I had another bird in my bathroom this morning (yes, it's the second time it's happened in a month) for my own home experience! Not the best method of being awakened at 6am, but it was effective. I got a lot done after rescuing and releasing the bird.

    Not being a scrapbooking type person, the stuff that you produce is fascinating to me. I'll never set aside time to learn all of these techniques, but I am appreciative of the final products. Very pretty!
