Paper Craft Addiction - Art for Amanda

Sunday, September 12, 2010

Another work colleague loved the canvas I made for Jannene earlier this year, so this weekend I made her a canvas too, only 16 tiles tho not 225!  I loved working with Teresa's pallet, so I decided to stick with it.

I hope she likes it....

Tiles for Teresa!

OPS late.........

They took me a little longer than I had planned!  The background is chipboard which has been embossed using the Cuttlebug and painted using one of JVO's paint techniques

Tidying up the craft room

Doesn't it look slick  ;o)

To the right of my laptop is a Bill Holder from Bed Bath 'N' Table. It holds my stamps beautifully!  I'll reveal more as I tidy it up.  There is my fantastic shelves from a few posts ago..

Arty_oz July Swap

This months theme is Vintage Children and what better image to use than one from Paperwhimsy?  The background is also a whimsy digital image.  And the flowers - made them myself using my NEW Tim Holtz Sizzix dies (in the Cuttlebug). Just loving these, I was able to cut 8 flowers at once!

How do you store your collections?

While the organisation of my house may leave a lot to be desired, the organisation of my Collections doesn't!  The chipboard is all sorted and stored in plastic compartmentised (is that a word??) containers .  But the paper well.. it was sorted and kept in the 6x6 bags that they came in, in a drawer.. not very satisfactory.  So on Friday night I spied this nice album at Scraptacular. I love albums that I can decorate myself.  I was going to cut it down to 6x6, but it had the "long" page holders in it and  as you can see these hold some of the paper products beautifully!  So I bought more 6x6 page protectors for the Collections paper :o) They are all sorted into colours, so it's easy to flip through....
Had a really enjoyable day at Scraptacular today.  Made the spools for my kit and then covered the album.  I had searched through my stash last night agonising over what to cover it , but Scraptacular had some Periphery paper in stock (one of my fav's) so -  decision made :o)

Thanks to Julie from Scraptacular for the beginings of my Angel ;-)
