Hello. My name is Julie, I am 50 years old and I live in a small village in South Yorkshire with my partner Mick and my two children Emma 24 and Michael 18. Emma is about to fly the nest and leave home to work in London as a doctor. Michael is still at home and is deciding his future career. We have two dogs Poppy and Milly both Lhasa Apsos and they are just adorable. I work full time in a wonderful Independent School where all the staff and students are fantastic. I get 18 weeks holidays which are used up getting crafty! Thank you for visiting me, I hope you like what you see.

Teddy Bo - Anything but a card


Here is my entry for the Teddy Bo Challenge - Anything but a card.
I've had these frames for ages and didn't know what to do with them, when I saw the challenge, I knew straight away that they would be just perfect. However, first things first, I had to find them amongst the boxes and boxes of crafting goodies in my study.

Was thrilled to bits when they turned up. The frames were originally just untreated wood, I painted them in white acrylic paint and then distressed the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink worn lipstick - love this colour. The images were coloured with my favouite polychromo pencils and the flowers were from my flower stash. I had to remove the plastic covering on the images because the flash on the camera gave too much reflection.

Hope you like my little wall hanging that now has pride of place in my craft study.
