Things With Wings at TioT
Our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Things With Wings, lots of choice there.
I've used a Lavinia fairy on a Gelli print background and as her wings overlapped the print, I stamped extra wings, lightly coloured with Cracked pistachio and lots of Diamond Dust stickles.
The rest of the team have lots of varied inspiration for you, so please pop over to the challenge page where you will also find all the challenge details.
Busy day ahead, picking the twins up from nursery for their weekly sleepover and then the fun begins!
Have a great day, Avril xx

Here Comes Summer at TioT
The new challenge at Try it on Tuesday Try it on Tuesday is Here Comes Summer and it looks like the weather has taken this challenge on board.
If I have a day to myself and the sun i shining, there's nothing better than sitting in the garden and reading - hubby says it's the only time I sit still - I've always got to be pottering or trimming back something or other. So for my summer reading I've made a new bookmark using some craft magazine freebie stamps.
The rest of the team have some great inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main challenge page, where you will also find all the challenge details.

Small Things at TioT
I gave the top a coat of Gesso to cover the printed description on the top of the box, leaving the gold edge. I then made a template of the heart shape and cut the top layer from a printed napkin, which I applied with DecoArt Decou-page and that was it, very simple.
The rest of the Design Team have some great samples to show, so please pop over to the home page of the challenge.
Thanks for calling in.

Add Some Text at Try it on Tuesday
I wasn't prepared with this challenge and after not crafting for a couple of weeks, I decided to just do 'something' - no pressure if it didn't turn out right - something for fun! I've had this image, cut out from a magazine, for ages and the quote, which |I heard somewhere, always stuck with me, so I printed the quote out and cut apart. The background was an experiment I did a while ago with inks and an acrylic block and I thought the colours perfectly suited this girl. Some hand doodling around the edges and done!
