WOYWW - Finished! and a wee bit of bragging...

Golly - who fast forwarded the weekend? Because - here we are yet again at WOYWW!!! (For those of you who have no idea what I'm on about - head over to Julia at Stamping Ground). Although I'm sure those of you that did do the rounds at Ally Pally are still feeling the weekend's effect on your feet and purse-strings...I did abstain but I will be heading off to the Artisan Show as it is a wee bit closer to home...Well, as the list of fellow snoopers is fast on the up-rise, let's cut to the chase and show you some goodies...

Just finished my wall hanging which was the end project on the Claudine Hellmuth course.

There was quite a lot of fiddly-diddly-flipping heck stuff with all the eyelets and jump-rings. And as always, I am forever the tweakaholic and I spent soooooo long playing with the final layout and embellishments. Even if I do say so myself (and I am) I really do like my little blue house which I made from some scrap cardboard. I love to make my own embellishments if possible - so with a swoosh of paint, some DI and just one flower punch - there it is.


 Made about twenty different types of letters for the "home" - until I was kind of satisfied/exhausted/developed tunnel vision. Maybe a bit too cute for the hanging??? Or moreover for me. Jury is still out on that one.



Used some old book pages for the flower and then ran it through my Epic for a dotty effect and then added the good old DI's and some Glimmer.
As said - I am very glad I did the CH course because paint opens up a whole new ball game which I definitely want to play more of...!

 Okay - so now on to the bragging...I made Craft Stamper Magazine! Back in July I sent off a tag for a swap challenge and, as is often the case, you wave farewell to your little one at the postbox and just have to sit it out. This week I opened the November issue to find my tag waving back at me from page 60. Didn't win (aaaaahhh), but made the selection (yeaaaahhhh), so I can give myself a little pat on the back and maybe treat myself at the weekend (hint, hint...) The scan of my tag looks a tad flat and faded, so here is the original...

 I hope to hop around plenty of desks this week and have a good nose around. Hoping to see lots of inspiring work, messy tables, new stash and whatever you want to share!
Anything goes - do feel welcome to join in.
Vive Le Papier!

Au Revoir,

Sarah.
