I am Back

Hi everyone sorry I have had a bit of time off. I am back now and ready to roll. October was a very happy and also a very sad month for me. On the Happy Note my son Michael and his long time girlfriend Phebe finally got married on the 6th October. It was such a lovely day they got married at the Roslyn Bay Resort in Yeppoon, they married in the garden along side of the pool. All the family where there Aunts Uncles cousins brothers and sisters and a lot of extended family, we had such a good time.
This is a lovely photo of us all Mum Dad and the kids.

 
 Michael his Grandma, and Great Aunty Cheryl they had arrived in one of the Mustangs, Michael had organised for the bridal party.
 
Now the beautiful couple Michael and Phebe Chelepy
Now on the sadder note my Dad was put into hospital a week before the wedding and could not come so we took the wedding party to him, he was so happy he even cried as did all of us.
 
 
 
Now on an even sadder note my dad passed away on the 15th October nine days after the kids where married all he wanted was to make it for their wedding he was so proud of them and we wipped tears away from his eyes. He could not talk as the cancer had spread rapidly from his lung through his body and organs. We all new he was a happy man. RIP Dad loves ya heaps.....

Mixed Media Altered Frame - Off the Rails DT

Image
Hello Candy here again. I thought I would do an Off the page project for you all today. I bought this frame a while ago and had it in my stash. Firstly I painted the frame with black gesso and when it is dry cover with some Golden fiber paste on the sides and front of the frame, and the heart. I have used some chipboard pieces from one of our sponsors Memory Maze and painted them with white gesso. I roughly daubed with some liquid pearls, the rougher the better as we want some texture. Dry with a heat gun holding close as you want it to bubble. I then used Lindy's - Blue Hawiian blue, Glimmermist afraid of the dark and sei tumble dry green sprays. I used a small paint brush and daubed here and there. Dry between the colours or you will make mud.  On the heart I sprayed the Lindy's blue hawiian spray and when dry covered with glue and apply some midnight blue glass glitter. I also sprayed the colours around the inside and outside of the frame...

Just for you

Hi everyone I am back from a little break and ready to ctreate again. Today I have made a lovely little girls card. Using a fancy scroll and a word phrase. I have started with a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch card base. I cut the first pattern paper layer at 51/4x51/4 inches. The second is cut from white glitter paper  and it is cut at 5 x 5 inches. The third is using another pattern paper and cut that one at  4 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches Distress around the edges of all three then tape the first two onto the card base. The third pattern paper curl the right top corner use a little glue to hold this in place. Then tape onto the card using foam tape. I have matted my photo and put foam tape underneath to raise it up. Now for the corner swirl and the word phrase all I did was give them a couple of coats of white ink.  When dry glue onto your card. Add a little piece of lace under the corner roll and then add some flowers to finish off. Mmeor...
