Photo Canvas

Hi bloggers

I've recently been overly inspired by so many different Mixed Media projects that I've just wanted to dive in and play.

A fellow mixed media enthusiast and talented crafter Naomi showed me a video of a Photo Frame Canvas Project from start to finish - check it out HERE

I really loved it and wanted to make something similar.

This is what I came up with

Recipe

Canvas

Photo Frame

Tissue Paper

Various Embellishments

Home made texture paste

Stencil

Corregated card

Radiant Rain Sprays

Treasure Gold gilding wax

Glue

I am really pleased with the way it turned out and knew instantly the photo I wanted to add in the frame.

The photo is of my 4 children, my 2 eldest daughters boyfriends and 2 other friends as well as my sister. It was taken on a day out the the coast on my sister's birthday and it was a lovely day out that I will cherish forever.

New Desk!!

Hi Bloggers,

I was missing crafting so much I begged hubby to let me dig my stash back out, but I limited myself to what I could fit on my bureau display cabinet.

Problem was it was on opposite side of the room to my PC and next to the TV and I just could not get comfortable sat there. 

My darling hubby Andrew said to look for a new desk, Being limited on funds and space I knew I had my work cut out for me.

After a few days of searching I found the ideal desk and Andrew ordered it for me.

It arrived today (yay happy dance) and Andrew got straight to work assembling it while I started sorting through everything (again) and here is the end result

Excuse the teeny bit of mess - I never said it was a perfect end result lol - I now can't wait to start playing again so watch this space.
