DECORATING PIC'S..

Hello Everyone..

I feel much better today, muscle and sore back wise, but now I have a head cold..[sigh]..

Here are some pics of my nearly finished flat..

Prep started last week before my holidays..

With some oop's moments..

The painting started covering that gross wallpaper..

Was taking forever until the speed brush arrived..yay!!..

Lounge done in one afternoon...

Everything put back only to be blinded by the sun...shouldn't.. and not complaining in the middle of Winter..

Shut the drapes helped a bit..

My craft space with nothing much in it...but those venetians were going for good..

New sheers and drapes now I don't want to put craft stuff back in here..[the units cover most the windows..]

Kitchen now clean and fresh....tacky wall paper gone!..

Even had some fabric left over for a new cushion..

So all is done..and the toilet, but we wont go there...

Four days straight painting so did pretty well as I had to move most the stuff out myself or shoved it down one end of the room then pushed it back..good feeling though...just need the carpets cleaned and loads of rubbish outside to get rid of..

Will be back with some crafty stuff soon..not a lot going on in here just yet..

DIFFERENT BUT THE SAME!!

Hello Everyone...

I've finished my painting lounge,dinning, craft, kitchen and toilet..all done and my arms are nearly falling off...my shoulders are aching, my back is sore, and all my craft stuff has to come into this room tomorrow..but then I have 4 more days off to get over it...I will show you some pictures soon..

But for tonight I have some cards to share that are in my "To Blog " folder and the watermark date will be old..lol..they have been there awhile..

There they are..the same photo but just decorated different and one the colour has been changed a smidgeon..

Corrugated card was asked for this one as it was an order and I remeber thinking how to incorporate it with such a pretty image, but it worked...and the butterfly got the seed bead treatment..

This one was an order too...love those sweet birds on a branch from WOC..

So there we go...going to take my aching back and flop on the couch..I over did it today..

Thanks so much for stopping by..

SASAYAKI GLITTER NEW RELEASE - AND A DINOSAUR WITH A PENGUIN.

Hello...guess who!...

This is my third post and another adorable cute image to share from SASAYAKI GLITTER in the new release collection..

This is WINTER DINO AND PENGUIN

Hee hee, are they cute or what?..

All coloured up with my Reno Art markers with grey and black pencils for shading..

A nice snowy mound to stand on and snowflakes fluttering down.

I made this photo  a bit darker so you can see their fluffy trims..found some "Fun flock" and mixed it with flower soft...

So there we go..my last post for today...and I do thank you all again for popping in...means a lot.

SASAYAKI GLITTER NEW RELEASE DT - AND A MONSTER EATING A POOR ICE CREAM!!

Hello Everyone...

At the time of writing this post [ 1:06pm ] on a warm sunny winters day...it was my last day of work for NINE DAYS..whoo hoo..finally I will get the time to paint the inside of my flat and cannot wait to get started..I estimated 3 days of painting and the rest of the days putting all my stuff back into 3 rooms..and then playing in my craft room.

Okay,okay, we are not here for that...we are here to see a Monster eating an ice cream...

This is a new release from SASAYAKI GLITTER  and some people may find this disturbing...but I think it is hilarious.

Oh, dear...poor little ice cream..

All coloured up with Reno Art markers and lashings of glossy accents...

For decoration I just stuck down loads of googly eyes...and stamped a sentiment..

I really hope no one was distressed about this image and end up having  sleepless nights over it...but really I think we are all monsters when it comes to eating ice cream..

Thanks so much for stopping by...

See you again soon..I have a few projects up today...

DIGITAL DELIGHTS INSPIRATION DT..

Hello Everyone..again.

Time for my DIGITAL DELIGHTS project as it is the middle of the month!!..

I chose this sweet little boy as, although we are in the middle of Winter, the leaves are still dropping off the trees, well the last of them are and Autumn is my favoutrite season...only had one minor frost so far.

So I coloured my wee chap in then did some die cutting and grass colouring and started on my scene..

There's a close up of the cute boy from the  FALL FUN SET  

And there's the finished scene with the cold and cloudy sky.. half naked trees and lush green grass..

Thanks again for stopping by..I only have one more to share but I seem to have my times all over the place so you are seeing this one first and the first one second and the third will still be third..I'm probably sacked for doing it all back to front...but I'm now officially on holiday..YAY!! and gone into holiday mode..

BLOOMIN' LOVELY - WITH MISS DAISY DT..

Hello Everyone...

I'm here to share a beautiful image from MISS DAISY - STAMPING STUDIO  called...
FULL BLOOM 2  this is a pre coloured image...just right for those fast cards..

Bloomin' lovely...and looks three dimensional and I swear I never touched the image one bit..no shading, no nothing..

Gave it a slight shabby look and added punched flowers in blue with pearl centres....butterflies [Marianne Creatables]..and then found that gorgeous cerise organza ribbon which gave that splash of colour.

A side view...

So there we go...thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your kind comments....

I'm due for some more annunal leave and taking next week off..really looking forward to that.

See you tomorow..

Luv CHRISSYxx
