Painting and Decorating

Haven't been very creative this week apart from decorating a small persons bedroom, which of course means the rest of the house is in turmoil - HOW MUCH stuff can a small boy collect??? I think the contents of our recycling bin have migrated into his room under the pretence of 'I might need it one day' - now who does he take after I wonder??- anyway we will skirt around that issue!!

 I will be quite happy if I don't see bright orange or bright green for a while... interesting colour choice for a boy that is red/green colourblind, but that was his choice from the shelves of the paint shop, so although he can't 'see' green, whatever he does see is very appealing to him cos he loves his new bedroom.

I can now post a card I made and sent last week but whoops I got the date wrong and persons birthday was not until this Friday... I pretended I was just being very organised for a change and had posted early because of the Postal Strike... that didn't work, she knows me too well!! Using a chipboard 'arch' pink metal/cuttlebug embossing board and grungepaper to make the flower, similar to the ones made by Jennie aka Artistic Stamper

I haven't done much but I have had some spare time to play with the fabric paper I made last week, Kelli who wrote the book uses alot of artist inks, something I don't use so don't have, but I played with some calligraphy inks, alcohol inks and distress inks that I had in my stash, along with paints and goodness knows what else... You will get a better view if you click on the photo.

now got a few ideas of what I will do with the papers I have made, but that will have to wait because the decorating bug has hit and our bedroom is next on the list...
