Missing 10 days
















Ok where did the last 10 days go? I know I've been away in Italy but i can't believe I haven't blogged for so long. Anyway to get on with it I've been busy getting samples ready for class. Before we broke up for half term I did a class using jig saw frames. A friend's mother passed on a load of these frames she had acquired from QVC. She got so many that she knew she couldn't use them all. I don't know how many she got but she passed on at least 150 to me. That's the trouble with QVC (apart from the astronomical p&p) you get far more than you could ever use. Anyway it was a bit of a challenge as these frames came in some pretty naff colours. So out came the brayer, the cuttlebug and my stamps and I played. Here's the results.
Thanks for dropping by

  1. You've done a great job with those frames Janet, the one with black lace is my favourite, the embossing is a fab idea! xx

  2. Hi Janet, Your frames are gorgeous, with the tallent you've got can you turn the most ordinary things into something beautiful. Thanks for the comments on my blog, can't seem to stop making bears and ragdolls at the moment so haven't done much papercraft but I'm hoping to get back to a class soon as my hand is now working!!

  6. Great result from something that started off "naff" as you say! I especially like the beach one, lovely textures!

  7. These are terrific, Janet. I have never thought of that. If you have more jigsaw frames than you can use maybe I could swap something with you?
