Roll up Roll up ...........WOJ stamps up for grabs!!

THIS CANDY IS NOW CLOSED

THIS POST WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP UNTIL 31ST MARCH.

xxxxx Please scroll down for newer posts. xxxxx

I have spent the morning mounting the latest additions to my WOJ stamp collections. Sitting in my freezing cold Craftroom yesterday has done me no favours at all as I have also spent the morning coughing and sneezing. James very kindly borrowed another heater from a friend for me last night so my room is now nice and warm but unfortunetly I now feel like rubbish and lack Mojo.

Anyway enough about me and on to the candy!!!

With my shopping spree I now have aquired 3 stamps which I already have. Stamp 1is Willow with Candle, No 2 is Willow with Gingerbread Heart both from Winter 2009 collection and my 3rd stamp is "Shopping Willow" Mini stamp (Not Pictuered below).These stamps are unmounted red rubber.

GSP ~ Spring is in the Air!

Now spring is finally here.......we at Glue, Scissors, Paper, challenge you to make some paper flowers.

I have made Roses with tissue paper and Dafodills with "Gemstone" sparkly CS.

For the stalks I have used wooden Barbeque Kebab sticks and covered with tissue paper.

Here is how I made my flowers..........

The Roses:

• First cut a 1in x 12in strip of light pink tissue paper and apply glue to the edge, gently wrap around the end of the kebab stick to make a sort of Conical pyrimid.
• Cut a 4in x 12 in strip of Dark Pink TP. Fold it in half wrap around in the same way but trying to mantain a Rose bud shape.
• Cut 2 leaves with stalks and 2 1in x 12in strips from Green TP.
• Before attaching the leaves starting at the base of your Rose bud wrap the intire kebab stick with DST.
• Now attach the leaves one either side then over these wrap the intire kebab stick with Green strips of TP.

The daffodills:

• Wrap the kebab stick as for the roses in Green TP. Cut a large star in Yellow CS, a small star and 2 slim leaf shapes in Green CS & a 2in x 4in strip of Orange CS.
• Curl the points of the yellow stars inwards.
• Scallop one edge of the Orange strip and score at 1/4in on other edge. Snip between each scallop and a repeat on the other side too. cut a 1in circle and make a tube with the circle as your tube base. Mount this tube onto the Yellow star and flatten down scallops.
• Turn your flower over and attach the kebab stick stem to the back of the yellow star and the the green star over the stem.
• When this is dry. Take your leaves and curl one end. Place one either side of the stem and wrap with DST and the Green TP strip.

The Challenges:

• Allsorts , Lots To Do & Crazy4Challenges ~ "Spring is in the Air"

The Ingredients.

• Card Stock ~ DCWV Gemstones
• Tissue paper ~ All good craft stores.
• Kebab Sticks ~ Tesco.
• Fiskars Shape cutter Star.
• SU Scallop Punch.

Aidens PSP Card

Well here it is Aidens PSP Card.

Aiden's only other pleasure at the moment is his PSP. We resisted getting any sort of computer game for so long but decide that a hand held would be better that the sort that takes up the TV, we only have one tv in the house.

PLEASE excuse the dob of wet glue and the finger prints on the acetate!!!!

I'll let you know what he thinks in the morning. I'm off to bed now I've been up since 5.30 am!!!
