Anything But A Card

Now for something different at Make My Monday, we would like to see ANYTHING BUT A CARD.

I host two Fat Pages Stamping Swaps and am also a member of a NEW Design Team for a Fat Tastic challenge blog. Interested? Do you want to know more?  Then watch this space for there will be some exciting news later today . This is my fat page for the Do-Crafts Fat Page swap organised on the ATC Forum, it was for the theme of Childhood Memories. I used a lovely stamp from Joanna Sheen by Faye Whittaker called Bucket and Spade. The birds are from Inkylicious. I coloured everything with DI Mustard Seed and Broken China in a watercolour format. 

Below is another Fat page I have made for Stampers UK a Yahoo group with a current Fat Page swap, this one was for an  Oriental/Asian theme. The stamps are from The Stampman - Non-Sequitor stamps. I again used Promarkers to colour the stamped images. You may be wondering, what are Fat Pages, if you want to know more please click on the Fat Pages Page on my page bar above. I look forward to visiting you to see what you have made instead of a card. 

Use Warm Colours

Use It Tuesdays  this week have challenged us to use up some of our reds, oranges and yellows to warm up our winter days. I made this Fat Page for the Do Crafts Fat Page Swap I organise, for this month's theme, which is Words and Music. Being a Fat Page it measures 4" x 4" which I keep in a book. I used warm colours from the Distress Inks range from TH. The music stamp and the pretty violinist are from La Blanche. to add a touch of richness to the back and front I added a little of my own Pot Pourri mix of gilding flakes.
