PINTEREST EVENING...

 

Last week Nina from Nina's Apartment had a Pinterest making evening where you could come  along to her workshops and actually make something you have pinned on Pinterest. 

 

I have to say I probably do make quite a few things from my boards on Pinterest (I have 99 of them with over 5000 pins...eeek) but it was good to get out of the house for a couple of hours with some like minded people and some adult conversation....

 

Anyhoo I decided to make this canvas after watching a Christy Tomlinson video on YouTube when I realised I actually have the kit she was using and had never used it...bad....so I was stash busting as well as creating something. Sorry I can't find the link to the video as it is coming up as an error on my Pin...

CANVAS LOVE...

A canvas inspired by one I found on Pinterest....

The heart is made from canvas from a roll which I painted and left textured and the stamped with my favourite script stamp.

It's not the original quote I was going to put on it as for the life of me I couldn't remember it...

Thanks for looking.

ANOTHER CARD...

Another Pinterest inspired card....I used washi tape though instead of patterned papers...It's actually harder than it looks trying to fold washi tape in half so the edges match...

 

CARDS...

Just a couple of Pinterest inspired cards I made this week...xx

NEW ART....

Started this off at the weekend and finished it tonight...

I cut a triangle from chipboard and covered with white card for a base to work on, then I applied salty sea and mustard seed distress ink and stamped and embossed in white with a lovely Dark Room Door French script stamp. I flicked some white calico Mr Huey over that for some splatters...

I down loads the art media from ArtChicks after seeing them on Pinterest...finished with some seam binding...enjoy!! X

JUST A MONDAY QUOTATION...

JUST A MONDAY QUOTATION...

I thought I would try to start a weekly post using one of my favourite quotations that I have found on Pinterest....there are loads on there so I really should be stuck for choice...

MORE FINISHED PROJECTS...

 I found an upcycled wreath on Pinterest so I thought I would have a go...I really like how it turned out...I am toying with maybe a few more flowers at the bottom and would like to do a rolled one but I just for the life of me cannot do them...I always ending up throwing them across the room and swearing:0))

 

 This project is one I did when Sonja came over a couple of Sundays ago for a wee mini crop..just me and her!! She was working on a LO and I thought I would try something out of the Craft Stamper magazine...I usually get it, ooh and aah over everything for days and never end up trying anything out so I am pleased I managed to finish this...

 

They used a chipboard snowflake covered in glitter but I didn't have one so used this crochet one that I found in a Quirky kit that hadn't been used....

 

Thanks for looking...x

PINTEREST....

Another challenge....make something from Pinterest at least once a week instead of just drooling over all the gorgeous, lovely, fabulous makes, etc on there....Sonja put this challenge to me so if there is anyone else out there who would like to take part please feel free to join in...if we get a few joiners we will have a set day for posting...

These are some cards I have made for teachers as we finish school on Friday for 7 weeks of summer holidays...yippeeee(for the first couple of weeks anyway and then I will probably be tearing my hair out wishing they were back at school as you do..lol...)

And this was my Pinterest inspiration....not too far from the original!!

Anyway, I hope some more people can join in and we might even put up one of those linky things so I can see your creations...

PINTEREST....

Just a quickie to let you know about this site called Pinterest that Sonja pointed me in the direction of a couple of months ago but I couldn't quite get to grips with...well I have now and it's fab...great for storing all those things you see online and don't want to forget about!!! Go check it out...I am sure you will become as addicted as me, Sonja and quite possible even Julie...lol....
