A little mixed media project with stamps from Creative Expressions for today's post. I fancied getting my fingers all painty but I also wanted to have a go with the fabulous 'No Lines' colouring technique that Zoe from Make It Crafty has come up with. Love the look of this technique (as I might have mentioned before!) it gives images such an…
It is Saturday and that means it is my day on the Quixotic Paperie blog and I have another Artistic Outpost ATC make for you this week. I'm enjoying making these inky ATCs! This one uses the Artistic Outpost stamp sets Bird Of A Feather and Windows And Doors. I used Ranger Archival ink Coffee to stamp the girls and the sentiment and Archival…
Do you have that feeling like someone is watching you? Well they are! LOL! I'm super late today with my Quixotic Paperie post, I've literally just finished it and high-tailed it over to the blog to get it all posted! Phewee it is hot off the presses! It is a little sample, I'm calling it that because it was meant to be an ATC…
Something a little different for a Friday and my Guest DT piece for Alter It Monthly. This month's challenge is 'Sirens, mermaids and deep blue sea'. So another head scratcher for me! But I fancied doing something stitchy with book pages and perhaps a bit of digital art as well. You might recognise the mermaid? Erm...? There are lots of fabric and…
Thought I would play with some fabric for this week's Make The Day Special make. I've been meaning to try out the ZIG Fabricolor Twin pens so I've used them to colour and stamp on some calico to make this little flower ATC. I've used stamps from the Unity Adventures in Happiness Store kit. If you are interested here is a quick…
It is one of my favourite challenge themes this week at La-La Land Crafts: Tearing Ooo I do love to tear up my papers! I've used the gorgeous Mermaid Marci for my torn make today. And if you look closely you can see the tearing... Don't forget to pop on over to the La-La Land Crafts blog to see the other lovely makes both…
Guess what? Would you believe that the card I'm showing today I actually made way back in January? Honestly, I don't know why it has taken me so long to get this one up on the blog! I made this one for a commission and for anyone who has been missing corrugated card from my blog well here is a touch to make you…
Hey guys, have you seen the new Lulu stamps from Stamping Bella available over at Quixotic Paperie? I instantly fell in love as soon as I saw them and being a little partial to poppy images I could not resist Lulu Loves Poppies. She arrived on my doorstep yesterday - Thanks Elaine! - and I had to ink her up immediately so I've…
July is with us and for this month I'm guest designing for Alter It Monthly as my friend Anika is taking a little break this month and asked me if I would like to have a go. I love joining in with the guys over at Alter It Monthly, when I can, so I jumped at the chance! I think that this…
Well it has been a busy month of tutorials here at Crafty Makes and I have another one for you this week.

If you follow the Quixotic Paperie blog you would have seen this on Saturday 18th June 2011. You might have…
