Shoes!

Hello there, A quick post from me today, up to my eyes in schtuff LOL Mr Peplow has decided he's emptying the loft and has deposited it pretty much all over the house arrggghhh!!!!
This card is for LIM, Chrissie and Jen gave us a picture prompt from Pinterest for this week's challenge!

 OOh it's leaning a little, sorry LOL! Too much Champagne, hic!


 I used an old stamp, from way back, I don't know where it's from and I only have the rubber, so no way of finding out. If you know could you possibly let me know ? Then I can give credit.
Her dress was originally animal stripes so I gave it a make over! I have very few shoe stamps and hope that I'm not too far from the picture's inspiration :D

 I just love a bit of bling, it makes me smile. Now off to sort out a blooming mess :{
Thanks for stopping by, hugs Gay x

Matt or Shiny?

Now that is the question?
Hello and welcome, today I have a contribution to the Craft Barn's 'Opposites' week. There will be inspiration galore this week on the blog, do join us if you can!

I made three pictures and I really enjoyed getting all painty.
Pop over to the CB blog for the lowdown ( :D ) on how I changed/ decorated the frames. The outside frames are metallic and really shiny and the recesses are dark and matt, this absorbs light, an effect that I find fascinating :D

I have been a bit busy this last week we had a lovely reunion at home with some of my family from Australia it was a lot of fun :D

Thank you for stopping by, hugs Gay x

Life is a beach?

Hi folks, I hope you have enjoyed a lovely weekend and the rain here in the UK hasn't spoilt  it for you! We had a lot of rain overnight here in the south but today has been absolutely glorious!
Over at Karen's blog Snippets the challenge for OLW ( One Layer Wednesday) is, in Karen's own words,

"Create a card that depicts the beach or is water inspired.  Add a link to your card.  Remember to 

     keep embellishments to a minimum and NO ADDITIONAL LAYERS of cardstock."

 My card is using stamps from Sheena Douglass 'Seaside' I've had these particular stamps for quite a while and this is their first inking but I thought they fitted with the theme rather well :D

 Same card different background! I also used my Inktense pencils, woah! I really like these pigment heavy pencils, you don't realise how rich they are until you add the water, POW soo inky.

Thank you for dropping by, Gay x

p.s My sentiment stamp is by Lindsay Mason, 'Love that Binds'
