A beautiful winter's day here in Newcastle Harbour,
at Honeysuckle Drive near the lovely water.
Lunch at our favourite restaurante called
"Scratchleys" and a lovely seat by the window.
 We have seen dolphins in the past whilst dining out.
Lovely day and a few pics.

This is where the ships leave loaded with coal for other countries.

water colours with love

Using foils is new to me, and not very successful
at it without a laminator...so using Express-It
the rainbow colour foil and a die..
A bit of water colouring in the
background using brusho's.
[then swiped onto the paper]

The lovely oval dieI am using was from my dear
friend in NZ, Chrissy..♥

Pics of our walk today and picnic at Lake Macquarie near home.
[our fav place once a week and popular with tourist and locals
and where hubby goes sailing...for you Valerie-Jael]
There has lately been sightings of sharks in the lake
which is a bit of a worry for summer sporting.
There is a mouth opening from the sea
where the sharks are coming from.

It's a pink Christmas

Playing with embossing powder and stencil
I came up with this pretty Christmas Card..

Using Lindy's EP called Oom Pah Pah Pink

Always a first time for every thing in life.
ATC it's a first. Having being inspired by so many
friends and the fab DT at Happy Little Stampers,
 I decided to give this a go.

A few rules for creating ATCs -

• measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches (64 X 89 mm)

• be traded for other cards - not sold

• be flat enough to fit into a plastic trading card sleeve

journal invasion

Yikes! I have been invaded by a 'male' mixed media page
 into my journal... I think my sentiment says it all,
isn't that what men normally say?
Here is my journal page using TH stencil, stamp,
some texture paste, dies and dylusion sprays
in the background. A touch of builders tape
I had to borrow from another page as I
put the roll in a safe place now can't find it..
Sound familiar?
I find it so much fun to splat and it not only gives me pleasure to play
but it is also a time of leisure to me, only time of leisure where
one can do their 'own thing' and be totally relaxed..
I also stamped my TH stamp onto tissue paper and then
added it to my journal page with clear mod podge.

All products are available at the Arts and Crafts 
on line store in Sydney...lots of goodies there.

More than words

↧

What does the word LEISURE inspire you to create?

An easy answer.
Leasure to me means I can relax and craft

outside now around the pool side.
Enjoy listening to the "splatting"
 of the water made by my family
and really enjoy creating my project without having to
 be  'careful' how many splats I splat everywhere.

Now it's raining. lovely rain.

Back to Basics....watercolours

smile today

Watercolours, butterfly and fun.
Using Lindy's Magical's and water, a TH stencil for the main
background and a butterfly Kaleidescope stencil for the small
butterflies.  These were sponged with TH DI black soot
and water. The butterfly die and stamp were freebies from a mag.
Main background I use the monoprinting  technique.
