Well hello again..... if you are part of the hop.. you should have come to me from............ Linda
If you didn't... why not jump back to The Wonderful Gills blog, and hop all the way round in the Bling we have created!
Hmmm Glitter and Bling eh... well, allow me to introduce you to the New Me!!!
This is all so new and WOW to me.. I love making cards, but I "had" a style. Neat, tidy, precise, straight lines, balanced blah blah blah... a bit predictable! :-) Then a while ago I joined Facebook, and then as I met more and more people, I joined Groups on Facebook...... Last year I joined a couple of amazing groups, with amazing people (and now good friends) and I looked at their cards..... Mindblowing!
On some of them, there was not a straight line in sight!!!! Or any symmetric thought at all..... and the colours..... they were wild.. and they clashed.. and THEY WORKED!!!! It was all a revelation to me... WOW!!!!
So I started to "experiment" and I enjoyed it. and feedback was good... so I played more.. and more.... and I bought messy stuff and played even more.....
For Christmas.. my hubby let me loose on Amazon (LOL) and he bought me a couple of fabulous ATC books and the Wonderful Tim Holtz Companion.... he of the "drop it in a muddy puddle and kick it down the road, if possible getting it run over my a truck" style.....
Bliss!!
Christmas Day, I was a good girl, I sat and read my books (while making huge shopping lists) and I behaved...... Boxing day.. I started to play!
I think I have most of the ink and stuff off my hands now.. and my face, and in my hair.. and ears! But been having a BLAST!
Anyway.. here is my project for the Blog Hop... Many moons ago, I made an ATC book in a Mad Moment... and having recently found it.. I decided to have another play.
I had a note book I had bought, and I decided to "decorate it and make it my 2012 Crafting Diary. have so much going on.. I need somewhere to put lists of all the Blog Hops, Challanges, ATC swpaps and themes etc..... so from this....
Via lots of paint, glitter, messy mucky stuff...
To this!
Taa Daa! LOL
Oh.. and this is the original one I made (ages ago!)
Now to trawl through the various groups and piles of paper I have with all the relevant details on.... will be so nice to have them all in one place for a change... bet I "mis-place" the book now! LOL
Happy Blog Hopping! You are now off to...... Leslie .....

OK Debs - now you know what we are going to do in our spare evenings at Bluewater. I need an excuse to christen my new Bind-It-All so I'll bring it and you can show me how.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab project. I have seen the first book but this new one is even much more betterer.
Huge hugs

I LOVE IT! I am still trying to be the crafty risk taker but at times it is hard. Love your journal and what you did with it. I love hops like this where you find inspiration. TTFS Jearise in Lorby's World. By the way, my daughter loves your bunny, bear and hearts on the side.
