123 September Challenge "The Smile on Your Face"

Hello everyone. Just like to show this layout I have just finished for the 123 Challenge Blog for September. My layout is "The Smile on Your Face Says it All". This months challenge was to use white +white space+ the word "on". I have use a stencil & Gesso which I firstly coloured before applying & added an Irredescent medium over the wet gesso while I still had the stencil in place. I wasn't sure if this would work on the wet Gesso, but guess what, it did & I am rather pleased with the result.Also did some stamping using the same stencil all around the edges to complete the theme.Lots of chippie & raw wood, cute little bears & lots of ink & all done. Hope you like it. Until next time.    Luv Jan  xx

Black With 2 September Challenge (You Colour My World)

 I love this month's colours - so bright and cheery.  Had tremendous fun making all these flowers plus added some gorgeous Green Tara rosebuds. 

Black With 2 August Challenge "Always Special"

Hi everyone. Welcome to my NEW Blog. This is my first post on it. Yeah!!!!  & guess what, I made a boo boo. This challenge was black background with green & NO flowers. I was having so much fun creating this layout, got it all finished & posted,  & then realised I had used a flower border punch down the side. Woops!!!!  So I went back to the drawing board, pulled it apart & redid it omitting the flower punch. SO... This is my 2nd version of the challenge  I did for  the Black With 2 blog.  I found it extremely challenging not to use flowers on such a girly page, but I think I coped quite well considering. Just to keep myself happy I managed to spread a bit of glitter & bling around.  Thanks for dropping by.

Until next time.   Luv Jan xx

"Kraft it Up" June Challenge....".I am Jan"

Hi everyone -   I haven’t used Kraft very often and I must say I really love it – you can put any colour at all with it.  I’ve also sewn around this page, something else I haven’t done much before.  Of course I’ve indulged myself as usual with my scissors!!  As well as cutting out the paper there are these fantastic  “Collections” butterflies and words.  No bling on this one but I just had to use some Glimmermist.  The Crafter’s Workshop butterfly template was the ideal thing and shows up to perfection.  W.O.W. chippies add the final touch.  Thanks once again for looking in    Luv Janxx
