 Yup, it has been a massively long time between blogs indeed.  However, a lot has been going on, even to the point where I have moved for one final time!  Closer to the coast where there is much mire room overlooking the river on many acres.  Life is wonderfully good.  I have a fantastic new creative space which is huge and is also quite full.   I have a new love which is building these kit mini houses and I have done quite a few, but mire about those in another post.  I have quite a few new ones to share, but I shall start with these two.  The first is for a baby girl, very sweet colours with a clear message.  The 2nd one is a yellow beauty with no clear message... as of yet! Enjoy!  

Layouts to do with the ocean or the beach are always my most favourite layouts to do and this one was no exception either.  i got to use lots of Dusty Attic chippies throughout along with various pieces of Kaisercraft ephemera.  To create the netting I had an old netted bag that onions and lemons and limes comes in, then painted it with a few coats of white gesso and it worked absolutely brilliantly.   Just one picture for this one.  See you next time, Delia

Time to get my act back together and start showing off my creativity once again!  Despite my lack of posting, I have actually been doing quite alot.  Challenging myself with some projects and then churning out lots of scrapbook pages and enjoying every minute of it. Firstly, a couple of canvases, the first one was very challenging.  I even threw it out at one point and then went back and got it out of the bin and kept going and I do love the finished product. The second canvas I did in landscape format using pretty Finnabair and Dusty Attic stencils, plus some lovely Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.  I am trying to teach myself to do the heavy layering that so many of my favourite scrapbooking artists do.  Personally, I find it extremely challenging to do as so much goes on and gets covered up I just don't seem to be able to find my peace with it.  Anyway, this is my attempt and I am very happy with it, plus it was extremely enjoyable to do! ...

Greetings all I have been super creative lately and this is very much due to my new craft room which is actually rather fantastic!  Best craft area to date and actually my very last one!  Very much custom designed for me so it works.  Up until now it has been somewhat difficult to be creative as I had moved and it was hard to get a properly established place. So, the creativity has been happening in leaps and bounds of late and here are a few pieces to show for my productivity.

Hello All, What a busy month, but every month is in the second half of the year!  Time to share my recent Altair Art creations for this month.  I kind of got into the Christmas season a little early as some new papers were released, but they are my 2 pieces for the blog, first I want to show you my piece for the theme for this month.  The theme for the month over at Altair Art is "sparkle and shine" in the artwork, so here is my contribution. The next two pieces are where I got Christmassy.  The first using the new Altair Art Christmas papers, see below: And my final Christmassy piece is a nice blue one, still using Altair Art papers, just not the specific Christmas ones.   I hope you like them all and have fun entering your own piece for the theme of the month.  Well, enjoy yourselves, have fun and always find time to be creative.

With my huge change of life of recent months, there has barely been enough time to keep up with my design team commitments and I do not like that at all.  Going from a Mum to one, to a Mum to four, ranging in age from 5 to 18 has been a huge change and been challenging, rewarding, exciting, frustrating, hilarious and just plain crazy, all at different times and sometimes all at the same time.  Being with someone that I truly love, more than I ever thought possible is the reward and what a reward it is, but loving someone takes time and so something had to give and that was the time I have to craft. So, I got some time to just simply do my own thing and I enjoyed that very much.  I used to churn out a piece every 2-3 days and now it is more like once a week, well, for now anyway.  I very much enjoyed working on this design, I just had a bit of fun with it and I really love the colouring and the colour mix that is happening.

I have done so many different projects for Altair Art lately and so I thought that it was high time that I shared them, so here they are.  To see more of the awesome papers released by AltairArt, please go to their blog at h ttp://www.altairart.pl This first piece was inspired by all the circles and the space background of the Altair Art papers, I followed that circle theme right through.  With room for three images, it will look beautiful with the final images added. Below is my very first attempt at a canvas, again using elements of the various Altair Art papers, plus a few bits and pieces from Kaisercraft and Dusty Attic and other sources.  The dreamcatcher is gorgeous and I love the final finish which has been achieved by colouring with wax pastes and then covering most with crackle paint.  The theme is "Dream" and whatever that may be for you.
