Made this mirror for the big craft show at the NEC i the UK.
Its made of all odds and ends i usually put to one side or throw away.
Anyway lots of people commented on it for the two days i was there so i am making a few for Christmas presents.
The NEC was amazing this year considering there is suposed to be a recession.
Anyway we have been so busy since then getting the new shop ready for our grand opening next weekend i havnt had time to blog till now.

Myself and two of my dearest friends Di and Jean have been working hard for the past week designing some sample boards for the paper craft show at the NEC Birmingham UK as the other boards were getting a bit shabby looking with all the travelling around they do.
This is the first Christmas board we made up and it shows how you can use the spellbinders dies on their own or combined with rubber stamps and scrapbooking papers.
If you come to the NEC you will see how fabuluos they really look in real life.

THis is my entry for both TMTATC and Wednesday stampers.
The theme this week is Angels so i thought this was quite fitting.
The instructions to make this is on the artquest website as i was asked to be artist of the month a while ago.
Art pin ATC made using Rubber stamps,stampbord,Metal,inks coloured pencils ,gel pens,lumieres,brads and rhinestones.
THe Background is a Stampboard ATC which i have painted and then rubbed distress inks onto.
I left it unstamped so that the art pin is prominant.

I am really enjoying doing this and keep thinking about the next page while working on the current one.
Im off to demo at a papercraft show in Doncaster tomorrow so it will probably be Monday evening before i can do another page but i will put it up as soon as its ready.
Thanks for dropping by
