DCD Week 2

Good morning everybody. Here is week 2 of my Dylusions Diary.

This is my finished spread.

This is the diary before I decorated it. I decided not to put any colour on the pages. I stencilled and doodled and die cut the triangles for the dates. I stamped the main image [Rubber Dance Stamp] and cut it out. I added the word stickers and remnant rubs.

Have a lovely day and thank you for taking a look xxx Hazel.

SPA - Travel

Travel is the theme for the latest Sunday Postcard Art challenge.

Background coloured with Distress Oxides, then I stamped and embossed the Woodware background stamp. I collaged some washi tape, Eiffel Tower die cut, Tim Holtz paper doll and some flowers cut from a napkin.

Have a lovely week. xxx Hazel.

Dylusions Creative Dyary Week 1

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a good weekend.

Today I'm sharing with you the first week of my creative journal, I'm going to try to keep the journal going all year.

All the pages on the right side of the journal are already coloured ready for decoration, so I decorated the page with some die cut circles and a Dylusions die cut that I'd coloured with felt tip pens, the diary page was stamped. The word stickers says - and so the adventure begins.

I'd like to enter my journal in the Art Journal Journey challenge - New Year, New Adventures.

Thank you for dropping by, have a lovely Sunday. xxx Hazel.

Decorated Notebook

Good morning everybody, today I'm sharing my latest project for the Craft Barn Design Team - I should have posted it yesterday but I had a migraine and didn't put my computer on, I'm a bit squiffy today but feel a lot better. You can see my project here - the Craft Barn have added more goodies to their sale so why not pop over there to grab a bargain.

Thank you for dropping by to take a look, enjoy your day. xxx Hazel.

A Couple Of Cards For Men

Like a lot of people I find cards for men difficult and I'm never happy with the results, I had a couple of cards to make quickly so I used a couple of Gecko Galz images.

I dry brushed some white gesso onto a couple of kraft cards then I stamped some images with Seth Apter background stamps. I added some tissue tape, hessian and the Gecko Galz image to the one with the car and added some denim, Impression Obsession die cut seagulls and the Gecko Galz image to the one with the ship.

I hope you're all having a lovely day and thank you for taking the time to visit. xxx Hazel.

SPA - Secret Garden

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing the postcard that I've made for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge, the theme is Secret Garden.

I glued a piece of napkin to my postcard and added a Tim Holtz paper doll - I added a bit of colour to the image. I took a photo of the card and put it onto my computer so that I could finish it digitally. I used Serif Craft Artist and images from a couple of digi kits. The quote from one of my favourite books the Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

This is the card before I put it on my computer.

Thank you for visiting, have a lovely Sunday. xxx Hazel.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everybody, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

It's been over a month since I posted on my blog although I've posted on my digital blog. I've not done very much crafting, my mojo left me a while ago and I'm still waiting for it to come back, as I've no art work to show you I thought I'd show you the Christmas elf that I knitted although he wasn't finished until New Years Eve.

I still have some yarn left so I might make him a friend for next Christmas.

Thank you for dropping by, I really appreciate it. xxx Hazel.
