Hi everyone,

Today is the start of a new challenge over at A Vintage Journey. It's also our last challenge. It's time to say goodbye. I'm very happy and honored to be a part of this amazing team, thank you for your kindness and support. It may be the end of the blog - but certainly not the end of the friendships! I'll miss you. 
As always thank you for joining me today and don't forget to hop on over to A Vintage Journey to see all the other fabulous makes for this challenge. And of course, I hope you find the time to join us too.

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a nice day!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Hi everyone, happy September!! 
Today sees the start of a new challenge at A Vintage Journey, and this month I am actually the host of the challenge. So this is what we would like you to do:Let us see you create amazing textures on your cogs and gears. Embossing powders, pastes, rusting or gilding waxes, acrylics ..... whatever your imagination suggests. Just remember to create your project in one of our preferred styles: vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journaling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk.Here is what I made:I will do a full tutorial with step out photos of how I made the bag on the third Friday in June over at A Vintage Journey, so today I will just share a few photos here, and do hop over to the A Vintage Journey blog to see the fabulous projects my teamies have created, and we would all love it of course, if you played along with the challenge.

Hi everyone,

I hope that you’ll pop over to A Vintage Journey to see my tutorial which includes lots more photos and full details of how this card came together. If you are interested, you can also find a full list of materials that I used below.



Thanks so much for stopping by & have a nice day!
Until Next Time,

Hi everyone,
It's the fifth Friday of the month, so a Tag Friday for us all over at A Vintage Journey! For July's Tag Friday I decided to make a tag with a set of stamps that I like very much "Flower Shop". I hope you like it.

Hi everyone,
Today is the start of a new challenge over at A Vintage Journey. Lovely Astrid is hosting this month's challenge and her chosen theme is 'Rustic Charm' and Astrid says 'Rustic describes a design that is natural, rough, aged and casual. We would love to see you create a project using these elements: think nature inspired textures and simple and earthy colours. Just remember to create your project in one of our preferred styles: vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journaling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk.' I'd created a decoration for Astrid's fabulous theme. I hope you like it.


I have added gesso to a piece of chipboard. Let it dry. I sprayed the chipboard with Walnut Stain, ground espresso Distress Spray Stain, and some water. Dried with a heat tool and picked up extra ink from the surface.

Hi everyone,
It's the fifth Friday of the month, so a Tag Friday for us all over at A Vintage Journey! For May's Tag Friday I decided to make a tag with the Infusion Color Stains from PaperArtsy. I really like this set of Feathered Friends Die-Cut.
