Halloween Blog Hop with VLVS

Welcome to the VLVS Famous Monsters Halloween HOP!



The famous monster I have chosen is the American Werewolf in London! from 1981 (My teen years)


Not that I ever remember seeing the movie. I just know it was pretty big for it's time. Me. Well ..... 
I'm more of a 1985 "Teen Wolf" girl myself.


But recently I've noticed that the Image of a werewolf has changed ...... I'd say for the better!!

A Little Art Journal Cover for VLVS

Hello I'm here to share with you a little bit of inspiration using the wonderful Viva Las Vegastamps!!



This is a little art journal that I have created from an old book. I keep all my special little notes and cards that people send me in it.


I decorated the cover using some VLVS Stamps. I drew the heart but if you wanted to you could use the Squiggle Heart also. Doodle frame down the spine side and then some stitching stamps around the gesso block in the middle to frame it.


A little title to finish it all off. This one is almost full already. I think I'll have to start a new one!

I hope you've liked my little bit of inspiration.

Moments - A Layout for 13Arts

Hello my gorgeous 13@rts friends. Fiona here with you today to share a layout I have created using lots of yummy 13@rts beads, glitter and microspheres.


I created this layout on a canvas board so I could layer up all the beads and other 3D elements without worrying about my paper being over loaded. The canvas board makes such a sturdy base.


I used Ayeeda Medium Gel Medium to adhere them with. This ensures they are not going to fall off.



I used the chipboard to create my title. I coated it with some Navy Blue SPLASH! Ink.





I hope you've enjoyed my layout. Thank you for popping in and checking it out.

Two Little Tags for 7 Dots Studio


Hello I'm here with you today to share a little tutorial I have done for you over on the 7 Dots Studio Blog showing you how I created this set of tags using the oh so pretty "Homegrown" collection.

I used a tag template to trace around and cut out two tags from the "Attic" paper. i will use one side for one tag and the other side for the other tag.



Using some gel matt medium, I glued down some of the Homegrown chipboard from UmWow Studio and then placed some tissue paper over the top and secured it in place with some more matte medium over the top.



Once it was dry i gave it a little coat with white gesso to assist the pattern to show through the tissue paper.



With a black water color pencil, I drew around the outside of the chipboard shape and then added water. this gives the chippy a smoky appearance and a lovely grey shadow effect.



With a stapler i added some twine cut to look like reeds or dry grass on the bottom of both the tags and I also stapled on some actual dried buds from a little bush we have in our yard.



As a little feature on each tag, I decided to add a circle from the Element stickers. I chose the "Homegrown" one and a red poppy one. I stuck them onto some card and then trimmed them. I also added some more black pencil around the edge and then added water to activate the pencil. I mounted them with foam tape and placed some cotton underneath.



With a black marker pen I added a border to the tags. I drew some stitching lines all the way around the outside of each tag.



To finish it all off i wanted to add some real life leaves. So that they stay fresh looking and don't crumble away as they dry, I use gel matt medium on them to give them a "plastic" coating. It helps to keep them fresh looking and not be so fragile as they age.



I leave them to dry over night so they are ready to add to the tags the next day. I love these little tags. 



 It all comes together really well.



They will look adorable on a card or in my art journal as a feature on a page.



I think the addition of the real leaves and the real buds make it so fresh looking and compliment the "Homegrown" collection perfectly"



I hope you have enjoyed my little tutorial. I'll see you all again soon xx

October Challenge at Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo

Hello .... Today I'm here to share with you a little bit of "Forest" magic with the Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo October challenge. The theme is "Forest" and if you've been following my little mixed media adventure, you would have read that I wanted the chance to create another forest like textile hanging because I had made the background of the last one TOO grassy green for my liking.... well guess what?  LOL I did make another one.


I still didn't leave as much calico colour as I would have liked (I'm sure the next one will be better!) but I am much happier with the colours on this one.

I am totally obsessed in making these little hangings at the moment .... they have literally taken over my life!!
