Odds & Soxlets

Crikey is it Tuesday already! Did you all have a great bank holiday or like me was indoors (not because of a broken foot) but because of the weather! Can we please have some sunshine, I am in denial I do not want any winter yet. Just a little sunshine please?

I have my appointment later today, will let you know what happens. Hopefully it is good news. The foot feels a lot better and it is not as swelled up as anymore. I am more able.

Todays card shows how to combine any of Erica's range with your own cardstock and items. I have used layers, cuttlebug, embossing folders, hemp cord. Buttons. I have truly enjoyed making this card. If anyone is interested there is a range of items in my Etsy shop. I hope that you will enjoy. Links to items used are in the product section below.

Odds & Soxlets

Hi, yes there was no Odds & Soxlets card from me last week as I have said previously my cards can only come on days when I am physically able to do so due to my broken foot still being in plaster! :(

Today I have a new technique to share with you. These type of cards you may have seen in my shop. I sketch an image, put it under acetate and do an outline then paint it in with a mixture of various paints. Here I have resized the Toots image, and followed this technique.

Sorry for the picture being this way, it is the only way I could take the picture and stop the reflection on the acetate. Also I covered the aperture with grey carstock, sanded it with the coordinations sand it gadget and used the dust buddy to clear the dust of. Two very good tools that I picked up from Create and Craft.

Odds & Soxlets Tuesdays

Hi there, and welcome to Odds & Soxlets Tuesdays. Courtesy of me.

I am jumping for joy, today my plaster comes off and they next tell me what is in store. :)

As a Member of the DT, I hope to bring you something inspirational each week from Erica's beautiful range of products and digi stamps available to purchase here.

I was inspired by Denise Marzec and her beautiful bookmark corners, that I gave them a go. And I have become hooked! I can not help it. I have made a few of these. Not so easy as they look - especially the back part - precision is the key. But I am getting better. I hope you like this one.

Odds & Soxlets Digi Images

Hi there, I hope I soon have use of my laptop again! It will be easier to blog more often from my laptop then getting someone up to my PC. My cousin is writing some posts for me, I let her know what I need to be on this blog and she will type it up for me. Thank you. I can not neglect my blog at the moment.

In the card below, I am using Toots from Erica's digi Summertime collection. It is available as a single image download or part of a decoupage download. She is so cute. I have so many ideas in creating projects, but with a poor foot (sympathy hunting..., lol) I am at least sketching these ideas down. Then will try them once I am better. I had planned to make a card each tuesday from the digi collection, but fear not, once I am fully fit you will see lots of new projects. Its amazing how your mind thinks of all these ideas when you are NOT able to craft, but not when you CAN craft.... I am sketching away...
