Septembers Inchies

Hi everyone, here are the inchies that I've made for the UK Stampers inchie swap.

Thank you for taking a look, have a lovely weekend. xxx Hazel.

UK Stampers - Inchies

Hi everybody, not been a very good week, on Monday we found out that Josh our dog is very ill - going to a specialist clinic tomorrow and on Thursday we said goodbye to Chandler our lovely cat, she had a good life and reached the grand old age of 20 - will miss her lots.

Today I'm sharing the inchies that I made for the UK Stampers July swap.

I used scraps of inked card and they were all stamped with Inkadinkado stamps except the mermaid, not sure what make of stamp she is.

Thank you for dropping by, have a lovely day.

Inchies

Good morning everybody, first I would like to welcome my new followers Kate, Janice, Jackie, Petrina, Elke and Soozyb, thank you for following me, I hope you enjoy looking at my projects.

I haven't done much crafting or blogging for a while, at the beginning of the year I decided to sort out my craft room as it was a bit of a mess - it still is a mess but I've decided to have a little break from it. I'm going through everything and have got rid of a lot of stuff that I haven't used for a while and never will, you can imagine how much stuff I have after over 20 years of paper crafting.

Today I'm sharing with you some inchies that I made for the UK Stampers April inchie swap.

All the inchies were made from scrap card and stamped with Inkadinkado inchie stamps.

Thank you for dropping by, have a nice day.

The Documented Life Project - Week 8

Hi everyone, I hope you had a good weekend, I went to the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Show at Alexandra Palace on Saturday, had a good day meeting friends and spending some money although I didn't spend as much as I usually do.

I'd like to share with you week 8 of the DLP challenge, the challenge for the week is Repeating Elements. I decided to do squares as I remembered that in 2013 I made an inchie every week for the Every Inchie Monday challenge, I never did anything with the inchies, they were put into an envelope and forgotten, the pages in my journal are A4 size, big enough to take all 52 inchies.

I'm linking my journal pages to Rhedd's Creative Spirit Anything Goes challenge.

These are the finished pages.

I started by drawing the grid and adding the calendar page.

I then coloured the squares with Inktense pencils and a water brush. I coloured the rest of the page with a red watercolour crayon and went over the lines with a black pen, I also drew squiggles on the lines but they're not on this photo.

I stamped some squares [Hero Arts] with distress ink in the blank areas and glued in the inchies.

Inchie ATCs

I'd like to share with you today some ATCs that I made earlier in the year. They were for an inchie swap at Paperplay.

I used stampboard for all the inchies.

For this ATC I use a mono print and stamped some swirls. The stamp I used for the image is an Inkadinkado stamp coloured with distress ink.

Again I used a mono print and stamped some paw prints [Craft UK] with gesso. The main image is an Inkadinkado stamp and the meow is andother Craft UK

The background for this ATC was made using acrylic paint on an acrylic block. The main image is and Inkadinkado stamp and the sentiment is a Paperartsy stamp.

Have a lovely weekend everyone and I hope you're having better weather than I'm having here.

Inchie - Chocolate

The theme for this weeks challenge at Every Inchie Monday is chocolate.

For my inchie I've quilled some tiny chocolates, they were really fiddly to do.

My favourite chocolate is the one that comes in the purple wrapper so I used some purple mirri card for my inchie

Here is a side view of my inchie and below is a photo with a ruler to show the size.

Inchie - Cathedral

Cathedral is this weeks word for the Every Inchie Monday challenge.

My inchie is very simple this week, I found an image on the Internet and printed it after resizing it. I don't know what cathedral it is.

Inchie - Ballet

Ballet is the theme for this weeks challenge at Every Inchie Monday.

I decided to draw my inchie using coloured pencils to colour it.

Inchie - Brown

Brown is the word for this weeks challenge at Every Inchie Monday.

I wasn't sure what to do for this one until I remembered my Brown Betty teapot that lives at the top of a cupboard in my kitchen - I put tea bags straight into mugs when I make tea now so she hasn't been used for a long time.
I used coloured pencils.

Inchie - Amulet

The theme for this weeks challenge at Every Inchie Monday is Amulet. I wasn't sure what to do for this one until I remembered that I had some gem embellishments.

I adhered the embellishment to a piece of card that had been covered with sticky backed aluminium and then I adhered this to some red and gold card.

Inchie - Alice Blue

The first challenge of the year at Every Inchie Monday is Alice Blue, the first thing that came into my head was Alice Blue Gown, so I drew a dress, I put stickles on it and the photo makes it look like it's got coloured dots. After I drew it I cut it out and adhered it to some coloured card.

Every Inchie Monday - Thunderstorm

I hope everyone is safe after the storms last night. We had very strong winds about 5am - 7am. We have no damage but our cast iron garden furniture was blown across the lawn.

The theme for this weeks Every Inchie Monday Challenge is Thunderstorm.

I used distress inks to colour the background and scribbled some trees at the bottom.

Inchie - Storm

Storm is this weeks theme at Every Inchie Monday.
For my inchie I've done a storm in a teacup.

I drew the teacup and coloured with coloured pencils and some distress ink round the edge.

Inchie - Dispute

Dispute is this weeks theme for the  Every Inchie Monday challenge. I had to put my thinking cap on for this one and ended up with two little girls fighting over a doll.

I used an Invoke Arts stamp for the doll.

I didn't get round to posting the last two weeks inchies so here they are now.

Ban Inchie

Foot Inchie

Inchie - Gate

Gate is the theme for this weeks Every Inchie Monday.

For my inchie I've drawn a wrought iron gate.

Every Inchie Monday - Road

Road is the theme for this weeks  Every Inchie Monday challenge.

My inchie is very simple, I wrote the names of all the roads that I've lived on, I've also lived on a few Drives, Lanes etc. but I couldn't fit them on.

Last week the theme was Car, this is the inchie I made.

I don't know who made the stamp.

Inchie - Night Watchman

Night Watchman is the theme at Every Inchie Monday this week. I wasn't sure what to do but remembered that I inherited  a night watchman toby jug from my mum, so I took a photo of him - it's not a very good photo.

Inchie - Song

Song is the theme at Every Inchie Monday this week. I wasn't sure what to do so I looked through my stamps and found a couple that I thought would fit the theme.

The background bird stamp is part of a Crafty Individuals stamp and the mains image is a T J Designs stamp.

I didn't get time to share my inchie with you last week so here it is now, the theme was Pocket Watch.

I used a Cherry Pie Art Stamp of the rabbit from Alice In Wonderland looking at his watch. I stamped it onto shrink plastic.
