crafty camp 2009

I just got back from four days of creative fun with some of my most fave. artistic women. I took along a great pile of Scrapware products and did a roaring trade, everybody really loved it and I must say that it was thanks to the great talents and wonderful samplers of the Artzy Tartz Scrapware DT. Thanks girls!!!

I took a photo of the "sampler" table to show some of the art by the team.
The single art images are my creations...photo quality is poor because of the fluro lighting in the hall we were in.

words are art

I love books, well actually I love words because they are great patterns and make versatile art works, I have used words here in this class piece I made today.
(look Heather, I changed the birdie colour AGAIN!!! lol)

Time to catch up with some ATC fun

oooooook, I thought I had better jump on here and prove I'm still very much alive.
Melbourne was brilliant and I have been booked to return in October :)
I have been pretty busy with things...including a nasty bout of food poisoning BLAH!!!
Anyhoo...
Lots of new goodies being designed and released through Scrapware, thanks to the support and nuturing of Ange Connolly :)

The images I'm sharing here are...Housie ATC, ATC faux frame and ATC canvas with my flourish frame (wich is available in two sizes now).

All chipboard used is Scrapware and I can supply any of these lovely products if you wish to make your own little pieces of art.

Scrapware Samplers & wearable ATCs

As you know, I am off to Melbourne next week to teach at the Scrapware spectacular...I'm so excited because I love travelling and teaching what I love.
I was asked by Ange to make some name tags for the gals who will be working on the trade night and of course I just had to make wearable ATCs!!!...The base is the not yet released Scrapware ATC flourish frame, and guess who designed it :)
Don't you just adore the names too?!, they are embossed over rainbow foil. The little flowers and crowns are also Scrapware.

The Gingerbread men of course were just begging to be textured, so out came my fave medium, impasto :)
