Altered Clock

Here's an altered clock I did earlier this year....I just did it to see if I could :)
It was for fathers day but he didn't get it for er...months...because I had ran out of the Collections Chipboard!
Some people alter the clocks and add a photo but I just loved the paper so much I left it.
Paper is from the Cosmo Cricket "Dutch Girl" collection. I also used Basic Grey Rub ons, Matisse Derivan paints, Making Memories chipboard shapes.

I love Basic Grey and an "A"


The company that is- not the colour! I did this layout for a challenge- you had to do a layout about your favourite product. I like Basic Grey for so many reasons- they have some great collections, and some innovative products...
One of my favourite collections is the Lily Kate Range...and I have done heaps of things for Miss A using it...will show them later..but seeing as with have had a "Z" it's only fair to show the "A" (all Lily Kate papers). Not a great photo of it I realise- but you get the idea!

Starting with a Z!


Well to start I thought I would share this blurry photograph of the monogram I made for Mr Z!
I used wooden Z's from Kaiser Crafts, Matisse Derivan paint to paint the letter, sanding block, Making Memories Animal Crackers "Jack" patterned paper,  Basic Grey ribbon, Franchville pin.

Tentacle Number 1!

Welcome to Paper Tentacles...with a lot of encouragement from some of my friends here I am!
All of my tentacles are intact and I will be sharing some of my paper art and craft work, and all things paper in general. I already posted over at Slender Octopus about the fact that I no longer have a craft room..but we will see how I go.
Alot of my creations are for my own children known hereafter as Miss A (recently turned 3) and Mr Z (who is 7 weeks!) I have made things for others also but forgot to take pictures of all of them! I will be more diligent from now on!
Stay tuned....
