Jane Austen challenge

Hi there,

Once again the bears over at The House of Bears are hosting another fab literary based challenge.

This month they have chosen Jane Austen and a selection of quotes to use for inspiration




I chose the quote 'I cannot be dictated to by a watch' as lately I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed with finding time for everything I want to do! Maybe I have too many hobbies :)

Thanks for popping by and hey there's still enough time to enter the challenge so why not take a look and enter??!!

House of Bears

Once again the fab bears over at The house of Bears are hosting a book related challenge.

This time it's Jane Eyre.

I chose a quote '"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will".

I created my page using a previously made gelli print and then layering items on top. The stamp is a sweet pea stamp by Anna Marie.

Upon completing my page and going to add the quote I realised I hadn't left enough space for the whole quote!!

Here is my entry to this months challenge.

I hate ordinary people

The fab bears over at The house of bears are once again hosting a book based challenge.

I already have one entry for this fab challenge click here. However with so many great quotes I decided to make a second entry.




My chosen quote this time was 'I hate ordinary people'

The background was made using gelli plate and Dylusions 'mop ups'. I added chicken wire for a grungy look and the glued my images on top.

Thanks for looking, please visit the bears blog for the other fab entries and to check out their crafting lives :) x

House of bears challenge

The fab bears over at The house of bears are once again hosting a book based challenge.

This month they selected some quotes from little women. My chosen quote from the list was 'I am angry nearly every day of my life' here is my entry



With a quote like that I immediately thought of the Hulk but with no images I asked my wonderful husband to help copy an image from the Internet.

With so many great quotes and enough time I may well have another play at one of the other ones :)

A few layouts

Here are a few layouts I have done recently

This one I flicked paint onto my page (and all over the room) and then layered up the papers until I was happy to stick.



The below I took inspiration from this layout found on Pinterest. I used up-cycled cross stitch aida and had great fun with this one.


This one is of one of my favourite hotels in Las Vegas, lots of texture and layers on this one.
