ATC365 #37 FRAME

Not really had much time today and it probably shows in this ATC! But then not every day is a crafting day is it?

I hope to do better tomorrow! Happy days ahead? Kim x

ATC365 #36 SPICES

Quick post and then I am off! The word for today is SPICES. Something hot and exotic sprang to mind and somewhere I would love to go one day is India. I know that spices are part of lots of cultures, for example did you know that Vindaloo has its' origins in a Portuguese dish? That will be because of the spice trading between Asia and Europe.

I have gone off on one again! And this was supposed to be quick! Right, here we are, my ATC project. A warm little card featuring some Asian imagery.

See you tomorrow for another one? Happy Days! Kim x

ATC365 #35 DIARY

Oh my giddiness! Where is my head today? Have you seen it? It seems to have been replaced with a cabbage today! Teaspoon in the bin and tea bag in the dishwasher, you know the sort of thing! 

Today I have once again been creating DT projects but have moved out of the craft cave for a while to take a rest. I made the ATC for today with the inspirational word DIARY.

Hope you like it? I am a little pushed for time today so I will leave it there.

Happy Days! Kim x

ATC365 #34 - WRITER

Full day ahead of me, I have a mountain of DT work to do and the housework is starting to pile up but I also fancy a trip to the beach. What shall I do first?

Well, first is obviously my ATC for today. Mr Generator gave me WRITER and here is my offering.....

This is another of my long forgotten wood mounted stamps. It is already a collage of writers tools so I didn't have to do very much. I did stamp the design again onto some darker card so I could give the piece some visual interest by layering the images. The shadow you can see is added using Promarker as this shot was taken with direct overhead light. 

So, I must do at least two of the three things I listed earlier. I wonder which two? 

Happy Days! Kim x

ATC365 #33 SAFETY

Strange word today, SAFETY. But I am not stumped by it! I took a few little degrees of separation to think about using the lovely padlock and key by Tim Holtz.

There has been a little bit of snow here just now so I might just leave the Craft Cave and go take some photos! I know some of you have had a good bit of snow but here in my little micro-climate, in the valley near the sea, snow is quite rare! Haha! Looking out of the window now the snow has gone and the sun is shinning brightly! Back to crafting then.

Happy days! Kim X

Marvellous Monday with Visible Image

* NEW STAMPS * NEW STAMPS * 

* NEW STAMPS * NEW STAMPS * 

I am really excited to be able to finally show you what I have been doing recently! The guys at Visible Image have done it YET again with their latest release. Or maybe that should more accurately be releases as there are quite a few stamps in total being launched in the next few weeks and ALL of them are on pre-order from 6th February.

If you are a Facebook Group member then you will have seen most of them by now. There's a hint for you as to why it is essential to join the group, they get all the juicy bits first!

What I have got for you today is part of the INKognito II release. Isn't is an amazing stamp? And what about that sentiment? Perfect isn't it?

I have made a card this time but this 'family' of stamps is great for all sorts of different types of project. I think these would be perfect for journaling.

Check out the other DT blogs over the next couple of weeks to see even more of the new stamps and get inspired by the projects they have made.

Hope you like th is project and that it encourages you to check out what else Visible Image have been up to already this year!

ATC365 #32 - BROWN

So, we are now into February! I am so pleased to have kept going and hope that at the end of this month I will be making another collage!

Today I have drawn the word BROWN. Not the most inspiring word I have to say but that is what the challenge is all about!

As you know I am currently working on some DT pieces for Visible Image and have their products by my side 24/7 on my desk. Handy as I also have a collection of 'useful bits' in that box. Elements that I made but haven't found their forever home so to speak.

I knew I had this piece of brown rose patterned card and on pulling it out from the box I saw the Tin Man heart. The rest is history!

The back of the ATC is a dictionary page. The rose stamp is from Visible Image, and as I said, the heart is from their Tin Man set. A button and some brown hairy string to finish it off.

Brown but not down right?

Happy days!  Kim x
