NEWS UP DATE, Zettiology ATC challenge

Over at our ATC swap blog this month we have a challenge set by the talented and gorgeous Hermine, to create 5 Zettiology ATC's.

Zettiology is new to me the 1st one I created I wasn't keen on, the 2nd I quite liked the 3rd and 4th were a completely different style altogether, which I do like but will save those 4 for another time as the next 5 ATC's are the ones I am entering for the swap over HERE.

I was soo lucky to receive some wonderful NEW stamps from Crafty Individuals on Wednesday and fell in love with the BIRD stamp and just had to use it on my Zettie's

The first ATC I created using a stamp from Cherry pie over at Scrapz.

ATC's 2 3 4 5 I have incorporated CI papers and stamps although the cup and saucer and the penny farthing are not there's and I cannot remember who's they are, sorry.

The striped limbs are those of teesha moore ...love them.... love them... love them x

ATC friut challenge

Meet my gorgeous grandson Marley He now lives with me and is wonderful company.

Well the house alterations are almost complete although there is still some work which needs to be finished by the builder but not sure I will ever see him again ... a word of advise.... never pay up in full until all the work is complete .

I hope to have more time to play with my stash again after Christmas in the meantime here are some ATC's I did in July before I moved house, they were made for the Fiskars ATC challenge theme on fruit....If you look closely you can see my backgrounds are recycled paper which has fruit on it....reminds me of Pims

the others from the set of fruit ATC's are on a post further down the page

Thanks for looking.

Saturday workout Jewellery

Today I have entered the Saturday Workout Challenge over HERE

Hello dear friends of SaWo. It is time again for a new challenge.
Many thanks to all those who last week so busily recycled.
There were wonderful creations. This week the challenge is “Make your own jewellery”. Whether it be rings, earrings, broaches, bracelets, it’s up to you. I am looking forward to being surprised with your pieces of jewellery. I wish you loads of fun with crafting your creations and have a great weekend.

I already made the necklace and earrings a little while ago but wanted to support Sandie and her challenge blog so I am showing them for this weeks challenge.

Thanks for looking

A peep at some ATC's

Hi,
So Sorry I have not been around for some time I have been busy moving house.
I hope very soon to have the place ship-shape and ready to get some crafting days again.

In the meantime here are a few of the ATC's I created before the move for the ATC challenge over at Fiskars, for this month we needed to make 9 ATC's on the subject of 'fruit' well


everytime I think of fruit in the summer it brings to mind long cool glasses of Pimms...I think I captured that here... the background papers have been recycled from a local college prospectus dated 2007/8...I just new it would come in handy one day.

The bathing beauties I purchased from Karen at Scrapz

Thanks for looking and I do hope to get some blog hopping done leaving some comments for all my blogging pals.

Have a great reast of the week.

Once again life has been busy some of it good but some of it very sad, we had a berevement in the family a very special brother-in-law, he was only 52, music and guitar were his love, Dave had just finished a band practice when he took a heart attack. He had a very special gift of lighting up a room with his smile. R.I.P. Dave. x

My mum also had another cancerous lump removed from her breast and we are just waiting the results from that...she is 80 and had a breast removed 5 years ago.... she was in her last 6months when the hospital found another lump. Bless her she is so positive. Love you mum. xxx

I have also been packing up my house as I am moving to somewhere a little bigger giving me a room for all my crafting 'STUFF' at last the kitchen and lounge and staircase will be free of the clutter. And a window in my kitchen....Yahoo xx Chris won't have to sleep on the sofa again... ah bless her little cotton socks.

I am child minding this weekend ( or is it the other way around!!! are they are granny sitting? ) whilst mum n dad go to a wedding...

Now these children keep me smiling and I just happen to be carrying my camera today... how could I not smile at these....let me share them with you....

This is 11 yr old Jessie ...I think you will agree she has a style of her own

here she is with Lucy

.Her older sister Alecia also with Lucy.

And both girls together..... a pair of shady characters...lol

See the ' black n silver ' necklace I made, it's one of my faves.

Thanx for looking. Chriss x :0)

BIG HELLO !!! you have been missed

BIG HELLO,
This is a very quick post as I just want you to know I have not left the country....once again my PC crashed on me but I was unable to get it fixed as my son was on holiday...HOW DARE HE IN MY HOUR OF NEED...LOL.
We now know the problem, a part of my Acer laptop does not like AVG so every new update was causing it to crash... don't know if anyone else has had the same probs with an Acer and AVG.
Before it crashed I managed to take on the Fiskarettes 1st ATC challenge the theme being ''Wings'' below are my 9 entries for the challenge. Hope that you like them.

All images are from 'Lisa's Altered Art' arn't they just gorgeous.

I hope to catch up with you all very soon as I have missed you and your wonderful art.

Take care. Chriss x
