My Altered Tins

These were for a challenge on Docrafts Altered Art forum, think I'm hooked on these now....groan :)

Busy, busy, busy.....

Well, I've had my little break in Germany and what a great time I had, I thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking of going away for a short break. We went to Cologne and the Cathedral there is amazing, especially the stained glass windows, another good place to visit, especially if you like chocolate (who doesn't) is the Lindt Chocolate factory, the chocolate is delicious.I've added some pictures of Cologne and those amazing windows in the Cathedral, hope you like them.

Work is busy, but what's new. But I've finally got back to my crafting today and made a start on an altered tin. Work is in progress at the moment but once it's finished I might add some piccies of it.

No chance to craft this week......

Too busy at work this week, then I'm off to Germany on Friday for the weekend, well hopefully if the weather improves.
I'm loving the snow, it looks fabulous at work, although it's a nightmare to drive in. What I can't believe, is that they knew it was coming but still did nothing about it and it's the HEADLINES in the news........why? Does the rest of Europe have the same problems when it snows? I think not...lol, still it's lovely to have some snow once in a while. Hope to upload some piccies soon.
Stay warm and safe everyone xx

Update on my rolodex.....

I've done just four cards so far but the batteries have run out on my camera so I can't take any pictures of them at the moment and scanning always looks cock-eyed on my blog....or maybe it's just my eyes...lol!
I'm trying out some whimsical type drawings on some of them, I love these type of ATC's so I thought I'd have a go at them on my rolodex cards. I don't think they're everyones cup of tea but I find them bright and cheerful and quite childlike.
I'm now typing one handed as the dog has just decided to sit on my lap so to stop him falling off he's lying on my arm. Looks like no more crafting for the moment then.......

My New Project - Rolodex

Just to prove that I am actually doing something with my Rolodex, I must admit it's not much but it's a start.

It arrived today in the post, can't wait to get started on it. I don't know how long it will take but I'm planning on decorating each little card individually.So keeping watching this space........lol!!

Had a bit of spare time today as I was up early, so I've made two ATC's for MAMMA'S Challenge on FLICKR, I used Ecoline inks for the background paper and some stamps I got from Quietfire Designs, one of my favourite suppliers.

These inks are really bright and cheerful, I love using them on cards and ATC's.

I'm off to make some inchies now for the February swap on Docrafts, might upload the pictures later if I like them enough.....

Stained Glass Windows

This is one of 4 stained glass windows in a church in Woking, they represent the continents of the world, this one represents the Americas, the colours are beautiful.
