It is really interesting to see the amount of times your posts are viewed and that they by no means match the comments you are left on blog posts. Thanks to all those who both viewed my pages and left comments in 2015.

But my personal favourite project of 2015 was:

And in 2015 I was so pleased to be asked to start writing and creating for Craft Stamper Magazine.

I wonder what creative firsts 2016 will bring?

Christmas Paint Party

Another calendar art girl to share this festive day!

Paint Party Friday

Happy Holidays to all. x

Some Neon Pink

hair to celebrate the start of my Christmas break! The calendar girl art project was something I set myself as a challenge in January, got a little behind but only 2 pages to catch up so should get it done before we wave goodbye to 2015.

 I am sharing her over at Paint Party Friday and Show Your Face.

Picked Raspberry...

inks blended on the image, pattern and white card stock. My girl was coloured with Promarkers and then some extra shading using coloured pencils. The rounded rectangles were cut using Brother Scan n Cut.

I am going to enter her into the I love Promarkers challenge.

Graphite

I simply used a Faber Castell graphite crayon to shade in this image and background. 

Spread the graphite using a paper stump.

Buy my ECL03 stamps over at PaperArtsy or other authorized stockists.

Stars

Masterboard and a batch of Christmas cards using Emma Godfrey's PA stamps.

I am entering these cards into the Christmas at Sweet Stamping, Our Creative Corner and The Mixed Media Card challenge.

Out Friday

I have a new project in Craft Stamper magazine.

You can now find sneak peaks and more inspiration from Craft Stamper on Pinterest HERE.

A garland of...

reindeer bunting. Altered using Fresco paints and a Kaisercraft stamp. I am going to share this project over at Fab n Funky, Mixed Media World and Sparkles Christmas Challenge.

Some time...

To make a card this weekend using one of my stamps. I die cut all the pieces using my Brother Scan n Cut, add distress ink (using new egg shapes ink blenders) and stamping to some patterned card stock. My girl was coloured in Promarkers and coloured pens.

I am entering this card into Allsorts  'at least 3 die cuts' challenge.

Doesn't she look...

 

happy! A bit of mixed media art today and a touch of neon yellow which makes me happy too!

 

I am going to share her over at Paint Party Friday and Moo Mania 'Lots of Layers'

A second

matchbox for a Facebook swap I have joined. Really enjoyed making the little boxes. More stamping using PaperArtsy stamps and some doodling with Posca paint pen.

I am going to enter this project into the Allsorts 'anything but a card' challenge.

Cozy Afternoon Quilt

Finally finished this applique quilt using designs by Jacquelynne Steves. 

Thinking I might gift this quilt to someone at Christmas.

As I have promised myself not to buy anymore fabric until the New Year so used up all my larger scraps left over from the blocks to back my quilt.

I am going to share this over at Fabric Friday Frenzy

Little...

matchbox which I made for a Facebook swap. My matchbox was cut out using my new toy a Brother Scan n Cut. My girlie images come for some of my past artwork which a scanned, resized and printed to fit inside the box.

I am going to share is over at Mixed Media World and there anything goes.

In my little journal

I have managed to grab a couple of hours to do some drawing. I worked in pen and then colouring pencils. The background stamp by Emma Godfrey over at PaperArtsy and used Caran d'ache Fibralo pens to colour/then stamp the image. Of course I added some washi tape for her little top.

Sharing over at Show Your Face and Paint Party Friday.

Paint Party Friday

 

I managed to find some time and my mojo to create this in a recycled journal as part of a journal circle I am part of.

I am going to share this over at Paint Party Friday, Crafting For All Seasons (girly theme), That Craft Place (mixed media anything goes) and Show Your Face.

Mystical Girl

To see more of the girlie card I made using one of my latest stamp designs ECL07 please hop on over to the PaperArtsy blog tonight.

Christmas...

quilt done! Here is the quilt I have managed to make over the past couple of weekend:

I am still painting and creating mixed media projects...but can't share much at the moment!

Soon be half term so hoping to get some more time to craft then.

I am sharing my quilt over at Fabric Frenzy Friday. 

A little Christmas

Quilt underway. Managed to get 6 blocks done over the weekend.

The pattern is available over at Fat quarter Shop. I am going to share my Wip over at Lets Bee Social. 

Paint Party Friday

This week my art work is in a circle journal, which always adds a little more pressure to the creative process, but I am very pleased with the girl that appeared on the page and fingers crossed the journal owner will like it too! The journal page has a little flap so managed to carry the girls hair over onto it too. Stamps by Sara Naumann and Emma Godfrey over at PaperArtsy.

I am sharing here over at Paint Party Friday and Show your Face.

My first...

Purse using a sew in frame, added some free motion quilting to the Kaffe Fassett fabric to make the detail pop. I am going to store my wonder clips in it.

I am going to share my sewing project over at Sew Cute Tuesday.
