I absolutely love learning stuff......and I love creating stuff so I am mixing the two......here are a couple of pages I've made about Hydrogen and Helium.......and hopefully the theme will continue.....although I'm always easily distracted by about a billion others things so who knows.........

The background on Hydrogen is pastel and then I printed and cut out Henry Cavendish and coloured him a little with Promarkers and then wrote on the facts with some pens I had years ago and the yellow symbol was cut out from an old periodic table that we had on the wall but kept falling off and basically that was what inspired the idea in the first place.......and the brown specks are a stamp

Then the other page is a background of distress stains and distress ink and then purple Dylusions.....I can't wait to get some more Dylusions inks as I've only got purple at the moment and I love how messy they are......then I wrote on the facts and I went over the top of the cut out symbol with sparkle mod podge and then I stamped some lids etc with black gesso then I dulled that back down by going over the top with yellow pastel.....and I coloured in the big helium letters with silver Promarker.......

I got a new Cricut cartridge Winter Frolic and this is the first card I've made using it.....I've cut out loads of shapes to use but just got to get round to using them......anyway I just distress inked the background snowflake paper and then stuck down the greeting and little robin in a blue and silver theme......

Here is a 21st birthday card I made......the little fish are part of an Inkidinkadoo set.......and I drew the 21 and coloured it in with markers and put some clear stuff to make to bubbles 3d; and stamped round the edge with a lid dipped in paint.....and the background was some paper that I gessoed over but I put a bit too much as you can't really see the paper any more but never mind still looked OK......

It's candy time over at the craft barn ....woooooooooo!!

Not very good at setting up links so I've posted the URL above and I hope that works!

Oh and then one more thing which is really cool........I actually got some blueberries out of the garden .....no way I never thought I'd get any berries let alone ripe ones.....there might only be a few but I was really pleased!!

 Here is a wedding card I made for my cousins wedding......I think it was distress strains in the background and some gesso and a spritz of purple dylusions.....then I cut out the flower using grunge paper and a spellbinder die and coloured it with distress ink and I drew the little stick people, die cut that also and lightly went over with spun sugar distress ink I think it was.... then I stamped on the congratulations which is from a Paper Artsy set and I used Staz On and glued down some ribbon and sprinkled some glitter on whilst the glue was still wet.

This was a birthday card for my dad......pastels in the background and then mostly Hobby Art scene its which I love.....and a bit of paint and micro beads around the edge of the card...

Here are a couple of photos from our Olympics party......which was ace! I made loads of cakes and a cheesecake too! And my sister and my mom did....although I haven't got a photo of my mom's cakes d'oh! We watched the Olympics on a big screen in my sisters garage which was even acer!!! woohoo
