A scrabble board game 'rescued' from a rubbish bin!! Turned into treasure, using collage elements, gorgeous wing charms, vintage wooden circles with letters, velour little flowers - soft sweet texture... german scrap and tiny scrabble chipboard letters. Inked edges :)

Wow, what a fun and frantic night we had. It started with goodie bags for those 'paper shakers' who brought a friend, we took a photo of that (and then no time for any more pics)

We had champagne shopping, with some lovely cheeses from South of WA to be enjoyed by all.
Bec did some inky demonstrations and will be hoping to make some posts to our store blog with techniques/tutorials soon.

One lucky customer Peta, won her purchases back in cash - $90.60 back in her pocket!! How cool was that.

I got very sore feet from standing at the till - all in all, a very successful event, and lots of fun too.

If you don't know what a 'paper shaker' is - They are Scrappindipity's very special customers who are members :) We have events for members only, special sales previews etc.,

We call them 'paper shakers' because, like the retro versions, they are our very own cheerleaders - we play with paper and shake it - yup, we got our own cheerleaders - and we love them all!

Thank you to everyone who attended, the champagne & cheese was yummy, the Sales awesome, the savings incredible - we gave away over $700 in discounts on the night and not forgetting the $90 Peta won back........ we look forward to doing another event like this soon! Keep a lookout on our store blog Scrappindipity

I am going to start adding some of my favourite flickr friends pics on my blog - as "My Flickr Featured Artists"

For the first of my featured artists, I have chosen Stephanie. Keeping in line with the theme of 'spoons' from my previous postings, this piece of gorgeous artwork seemed so appropriate.

Thanks Stephanie!

Today I decided to create something for my walls using some treasured items that were stashed away in a drawer in my art room -

I began painting all the squares with pistacio and cream paint, then I embellished them with little collages and decorative elements.

The squares were all joined together (tricky) and then mounted onto pistacio coloured card and that was then mounted onto a bronze shimmer. It is going to be framed into a 12x12inch box frame.

Here's the result.

COMPLETE - Mixed Media 5cmx5cm squares collection

Here's some close ups of some of the squares:

I've been meaning to upload some screenshots for a while, but couldn't figure out how LOL, so I asked Bec and it was so easy!! I'm starting to get the hang of PS now - thankfully

I would like to turn this digital into a rubber stamp - I like her :)

Hello,
Thank you for visiting my blog - I would like to start some 'freebies' on a regular basis to encourage visitors to my blog - I love giving away stuff and I also love visitors, so I thought this would be a good idea for both :)

The images are very high quality, just clicking on them will open them full size in a new window.

If you do choose to use any of the pictures for your art, or posting on your blogs - as a small thankyou, It would be appreciated if you would please provide a link to my blog as acknowledgement :)  Thank you.

ENJOY!

When playing around with PS, I decided to play around with a pic of my beautiful daughter Amy (she needs a pep at the moment) and her cat soxy (poor soxy is dying of kidney failure at the moment.) So I thought I would do something that means a lot to Amy - both her lovely kitty and the Wizard of Oz......... SMILE Amy!! here tis:

Follow the yellow brick road amy soxy

Oh, you can steal the pic for your BEBO if you like chickadee!

I am finally able to create with both hands again!!! WOOHOO

Here's the group of cards I made today - and the individual pics appear in the previous posts below... enjoy :)
