Creative Space Thursday

Well here it is. . . that time of the week again!!  I missed out last week as I was travelling down to my stamp camp weekend.  I will post about that one a little later on but first things first.  I am busy getting stock made for the weekend markets.  This weekend I have not one market on Sunday but one of both Saturday and Sunday.  So I will have to have twice the amount of stock.  Anyhow without further ado here is my creative space for this week.  Enjoy. . . . . 

                                                This is the journal I just finished.

 

                                                These are some of the cards I completed at the stamp camp.    

 

The makings of the journal.      

                                                         This another view of my creative mess.

My Creative Space

Well here it is Thursday again.  My they come around awfully fast don’t they?  My creative space today is filled with nostalgia as you can see.  I have decided to create an altered book as my next project and I want to work on a vintage one so here I am at the beginning of the journey.  Take a look and tell me what you think. 

 

The beginning of the journey…….

       

Here is some of the loveliness that Courtney gave me from her stash of vintagorama (my new word)

 

       

My long lost tin of Derwent watercolours will come in very handy for this project I think and I absolutely love my crop-o-dile from Stampin Up goes through tin, cardboard, 30 pages or more like cutting through butter….my favourite tool!!

 

These are some of the beautiful vintage pics I patiently cut out yesterday ready to go into my altered book when the time is right.

Don’t forget to pop on over to Kootoyoo’s blog to check out the other lovely creative spaces.  Thanks for stopping by and checking out my creative space.  Please don’t forget to pop on over to the Handmade Help blog and join in the donating and giving.   They are doing an absolutely fantastic job of raising money for the Victorian Bushfire victims and Goddess knows they need all the assistance we can give them.

Emma Lamb

Well you must all be sick of me by now with this being my third post for the day but I just had to tell you all about  a beautiful blog I have been visiting lately Emma Lamb it is a delightful blog and you must visit it.  She does beautiful embroidery like this…..

 

 

such detail!

 

And I just love her notebook which she has called her creative thinking space take a look and judge for yourself…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it not the most gorgeous notebook??  I have notebook envy now for sure!  Emma has inspired me to create my own creative thinking space notebook for my new ideas although we don’t do the same thing I still have ideas about my journals, cards etc.

 

 

 

I think these little swimsuits are amazing and you would have to agree with me.  Both my little grandaughters would look soooo cute in one of these creations.

 

 

 

 

And finally Emma’s choice of everything blue for a lovely treasury.  You must also visit her etsy shop for that unique gift for yourself or a loved one.  Go over and take a look.  It will inspire you!  Thanks for stopping by.

New lovelies I purchased

I went into town today only to purchase a couple of pieces of Bazzil cardstock and came home with other niceness.  Check it out for yourself.

 

 

 

 

Some lovely papers by Kaisercraft as well as some designer brads and lime acrylic and hinged rings all by Kaisercraft.  I also bought some great new rub-ons which were really cheap and also check out the Kaisercraft Skull and Crossbones I can’t wait to make that one up and I plan to do it girly so I will post some pics up as soon as I complete it.  I find the young teenagers love the punk look.  Not a bad lot for someone who only went to buy a couple of sheets of 12 x 12 cardstock hey??  I just cannot help myself sometimes!

My Creative Space

Well today I thought I would join in Kootoyoo’s Creative Space Thursday after visiting it for several weeks and now that we have moved into our new house I have managed to sort a small space out in my craft room to get down to my business of creatiing.  So here are some pics for you to enjoy.  This is what I have just finished (just in time for today)

 

 One corner of my creative space with just a hint of my cardstock to the right

 

 The journal I completed just in time *Phew*  beside my ribbon stash.

 

 My stamp pad stack (good storage hey?  It’s plastic containers turned on their side)

 

 Some of my paper punches, my paper trimmer, my scrap bin I made and some embellishments.

 

 The colours I chose to complete my journal project.

 

 Buttons, Buttons, Buttons!

 

 Another good storage idea using old baby food jars - I just punched out decorative paper using my scallop punch and glued to the top of the lid  It’s handy for all sorts of things.  At the moment they are holding embellishments.

I hope you all enjoyed checking out my creative space but make sure you check out the rest over at Kootoyoo blog.  There are lots of lovelies to drool over.
 Enjoy your day creating.
