Busy busy busy ....

Stamps by Dylusions

I may not have blogged for a few days but I have been very busy. Here you can see a pile of samples I have been preparing using Dylusions products from Art from the Heart, ready for the big CHA show later this month. Not that I'm going *sigh* .. I wish ......!! These will be travelling in Dyan's suitcase ready for the big launch of her signature range for Ranger. Woop woop!
Here's a couple of close-ups:


At the weekend I was busy doing a workshop on Distress Techniques using the fabulous Distress inks by Ranger and a combination of Tim Holtz stamps. (You can see details of all my classes here.)

Here's a couple of samples from the weekend:

  13. Love the stamps, love the colors--I just want to keep looking at your fabulous tags! Question--the one tag that has the journaling about being creative--is that a quote? Or your journaling? LOVE what it says.
