May 19 Moving to WordpressWelcome Back
Well I have now got myself a blog on Wordpress, not that I have a clue how to do much on there yet, so there may be posts on both sites for a few days. I have gone over to wordpress as this blog host just doesn't allow for comments from non Windows live customers!
Here is a link to my new blog
Best wishes
Billie xx May 18 My piece for this month's challenge of EmbossingWelcome back
DH has been doing maintenace on the machine and has more to do so I appologise in advance for any delays in updating this blog
 This month's theme for The Virtual Crafting Challenge has been embossing. My wonderful friend Lynn from http://craftandwaffle.blogspot.com/ sent me some stampboard as I had never tried it before. I now LOVE stamp board, if you haven't tried it go get some it is fantastic stuff.
Having had a play I stamped my design on the board then painted the back and sides of the board in acrylic paint to hide the brown unfinished side. My fab Crop A Dile punched through the board easily and I then applied Versamark embossing ink to the piece followed by clear embossing powder and heated it with the heat tool. I applied more powder, and reheated the piece a total of three times and then let it cool.

May 15 Jacob's Ladder Detailed picturesWelcome Back
I spent yesterday sorting out these pictures, so here you go... detailed pictures of all the panels from the Jacob's Ladder. The stamps are all from Crafty Individuals http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/ the ink is Ranger Adirondack www.rangerink.com and the technique I used for the colouring was inspired by Isabelle Norris http://isascrapandstamp.wordpress.com/
I think that covers everyone... Now here is what I made
 Side two was a floral theme
Hope you like them, best wishes and thanks for looking
