 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!  

Orange Love

Image
This was a very pretty and enjoyable layout to do, I very much enjoy doing orange layouts for some reason, but even when I had my graphic design business I used a deep yellow alot as it works with so much.  Funny.

Tribute to Great Dads

Image
Definitely one of my favourite layouts currently, alot of my green layouts I do like alot to be honest.  This one is for the World's Greatest Dad and perhaps I need to keep this one for myself and put the Dad that is my beautiful partner in it, well, not him, just a picture of him!  I used the pretty chipboard of little hearts from Dusty Attic in this along with one of their stencils.  Anyway, I hope you like it. Wishing you fun in your creative journey, see you again soon, Delia

Choose Happy!

Choose Happy - what a truly great choice to make!  I noticed years ago how much pink and orange go together.  Weird, but they just do.  Below is a pretty layout using just these colours featuring the gates that I totally grunged up using the various rust effect pastes. That's it for this one!  See you at the next post. smiles, Delia

Trying my hand at some mixed media canvas art

Image
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! ...

Creativity Abounds in the new craft room!

Image
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.

Catch up time on Altair Art

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.
