By the Sea Side in July 2017

Yep I'm a year behind in my blogging because I had issues with the whole pinterest widget HTML on here.. I couldn't work out how to fix it.... so..... I just didn't blog for that long.. Now that is it fixed... (because the whole blogging thing has been made so much more easy due to technology being awesome and more and more everyday people wanting to have the access.... Well it seems that companies (like Blogspot) are making it easier and easier to create what you want your pages to do.) I've set a personal goal to try to catch up on one years worth of blogging.. So if you have subscribed to this blog and you get spammed over the next few months I'm sorry but I hope that you find some of the projects, classes and events inspirational, motivational, creative and they help you to get the MoJo flowing!!!






By the Seaside was a lovely event.. We had a wonderful time creating these BEAUTIFUL projects on the day and learning some new techniques etc... Like stamping on tiles...

We raised money for the Angel Baby Footprint program.. It was a very successful event and was enjoyed by all!!

This lovely little Aquarium Card
Inspired by Kathleen Wingerson - Pinterest used acetate to allow you to look on the inside of the card for a touch of a different effect... We daubered the colours on the inside and used the wood embossing folder to create the texture on the outside.

This Deluxe card was designed by yours truly... I wanted to make it look like a water hole scene.. and I think it was accomplished... With the use of fantastic ink colours and daubering this is an AWESOME effect...








On the inside I used aqua-painter pens and ink to colour,... Of course you have to put Wink of Stella on all of your projects to get that little bit of bling...

This was a lovely little box of 6 Gift cards and envelopes... A great idea for an inexpensive pressie....

A Git card is a great thing to give these days as we seem to have it all and knowing just what to purchase for someone is not always the easiest thing to do... so here we did a really cute project with this little gift card pocket...  and it is REALLY simple... the BEST thing is it only takes 1/3 of and A4 sheet to make one pocket.. How cool is that??













And this is the inside.... Loving the copper trim.. so cool what you can do with it... if you haven't played with it you need to get some to have a go..
















This CUTE little School of Fish Card was
Inspired by empelnstanzenstaunen.wordpress.com via Pinerest....

The technique used to make the back ground was to use the biggest Stampin Up Clear block and add some reinker to the surface.. then to spritz it and to lay the card stock down onto it allowing to soak up the ink... if you were needing to touch up some areas you could always fix with a dauber and some ink...  It was AAWESOME to see how differently everyone's turned out..

Then last but not least we made some lovely tiles into drink coasters .... these are a few that I did to give examples of what people could do to create their own... There were so many different ones on the day.. Everyone really enjoyed doing them.. and again these are great ideas for inexpensive hand made gifts for people..

With 9 atendees we raised $270 to go towards the Angel Baby Boxes... It was a great day had by all... 







Just to add a few more variations here are some tiles that I played with to get the technique right B4 we taught it....  With some stamps... Sharpie pens, Stayz On, Craft ink, alcoholic rub and some gloss paint the sky is your limit!!

Enjoy creating...
