Is this ME?

Apparently this is what my name means.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

Pleased to meet you Izabelle

Jayne and Carl's daughter, Izabelle is so gorgeous. I am so pleased to have met her last night. She is just 9 days old and already she has a little personality of her own and strength to match. She lifts her head and wriggles like no other. Still Marcus the un-initiated baby holder, managed very well. The photo speaks for itself. I am so proud of him. He really took and interest. I hope he will be as good when his little sibling arrives in around 11 weeks time.



Jayne and Carl are relaxed first time parents. It is so strange but wonderful to see them as a family unit. Congratulations and welcome baby Izabelle.

ButtonDollz

Another great swap on UKS hosted by Dotty Dotty. I have finally finished mine and I love the way that they have turned out.

I have named them. Sad I know. From left to right we have;

Freya, Pheobe, Flossie, Pippa, Prudence and Fleur.

I made them using TH distress inked backgrounds that were cut into button shapes using sizzix sizzlet button collection. The buttons were strung like beads using a light gauge wire. I used a stamp for the face (Stella)The dolls were made in sets of three. One set was finished by adding beading and for the other three I brushed a layer of 3D gloss over the entire design after glittering.



I need to make space on my memory card. A very dear friend is calling by with her week old daughter. I feel honoured. I cannot wait VEXCITED :)

The TH Impression

Meeting TH has left an inky impression on me. I have been playing with my inks ever since I saw the technique performed before my eyes.

Last night I made some mail art using the inks and the blending block. Cut and Dry foam is good, but the blending block is so much better. I ordered a new pack from Scrap Revolution last night and hope they wont take too long to arrive.

Here's my mail art.

3-2-1 GO!

Using some of TH techniques today I have created 6x6 backgrounds for a swap I am in on UKS.

This is based on the tag that Tim made for me.



I used his blending tool and a variety of inks to create the initial background, then I used water to distress and finally I stamped with a new stamp from his 'Componets collection (COmOO3SKULLS)'.

I love the look and I am sure the technique will be everywhere in my creations over the next week or so.
