One Stitch At A Time {OSAAT} Challenge 236 Anything Goes Special Lady

By -
This is my first post for One Stitch At  A Time {I’m am so honoured to be allowed to cover for Nataliya whilst she takes a holiday} and I wanted it to say something about me as well as the theme for the challenge.

The theme this fortnight as One Stitch at a time is anything goes with special lady.  Now I have a few of those in my life, however recently one person has shown me just what a special lady they are through helping me when things got tough.  I send her happy mail a lot and she gets a special birthday card but when it comes to Christmas…the sheer number of cards to be made and sent at the same time means she generally gets a boring handmade card.  I saw the OSAAT challenge theme as a good way to show her how special I think she is at Christmas.

I’ve chosen to use the pilbury snoboy image because the snowman is baking and I love to bake and share cakes {because I’m not that fussed about eating cakes}.  It also shows how I’d love to bake for her and really show this person how much I appreciate her and how special she is to me.

I’ve coloured the image using promarkers.  Vellum is something I don’t use very often so I have inked it using blue distress inks.  I’ve embossed a light blue vellum and glued it on to a sheet of silver mirri card.  Tied a ribbon around it, I’m not very good with tying bows so all tips welcome.  I’ve then adhered the image to the top.  I die cut the snowflake border and used liquid pearls to decorate that and the side of the card.  The sentiment is handwritten and heat embossed, it reads:  Wishing a special lady a Merry Christmas.


Here’s an image for you to look at and thank you for popping by.

Christmas in June feels late to me, I normally start prepping for Christmas around New Year’s Eve!   When I first saw this image the first thing I thought of was to print it as large as possible and decorate it as a cone angel I used to make as a child.   Then I calmed down and thought about it and decided to go with a scrap page…the only minor problem is I can’t seem to stop singing Angels from the realms of glory now!   Okay I’ll stop waffling now but I have some questions later if You would be so kind as to point me in the right direction please?  This is to be entered in to Ike's Challenge To make this page I used: Gold Glitter Iridescent Gold H2Os Gold H2O’s Silver and gold mirri card Christmas cuttlebug embossing folder Mini tiny mini beads Ribbon I printed cut to size and glued together in the weird shape my Christmas angel and tree photos, then matted them on silver mirri card.   I used the cuttlebu...

The beauty of death

Gosh here I am blogging again...this time it's a "dark" art journal page.  I love doing these I just sit and play and see what happens.  There's something natural about dark craft that appears to my soul begging for freedom.  I lost track of time and it was only several hours later I emerged ravenous and realising Nan had slept for far too long...tonight I fear could be bad! I've used images from  Ikes Art  to create this page about the beauty of death.  I was really excited when I discovered it was to be a "dark" image over at Ike's Facebook Group challenge this month, I just don't see the "darker" images and creations around much. To make this I've used a background of distress crayons, the tree is made using novou mousse, the leaves are brushos, the mushrooms are stamped as are the bugs from various Hobby Art  stamp sets.  The quote is one I thought of suddenly at the end of the project and is written by me.  It reads: ...
