Ok, So after a little tease on Facebook earlier this week and a rather delayed post today (heat stroke is a Pain)

I am now sharing my Latest (and last ;-) ) Dalek made from one of Tando-Creatives Christmas tree advent calendars.

I have had to improvise a couple of extra pieces for the body and head and the skirt has been made out of strips of masking tape.

The Dalek has been decorated simply with Decoart Media Fluids, Pyrolle Red over a white base coat.

The drawers have been painted black along with the arms and skirt. The fronts of the Drawers have been embossed using Stampendous's Sparkly (yes I used Sparkly) Embossing powder Twilight

I love the different flecks of colour in the Twilight pot of powder.

Now this little fella will be making it's way to Laura from Stampendous as a little thank you for all the amazing help organizing my first crafty trip to California later this year.

I will be visiting three shops in California this October and I will be teaching a new mixed Media class using a brand new kit for my class from Tando-Creative, we will also be using lots of Stampendous and Decoart Media products to create a tag storage box and an assortment of tags using several mixed media techniques.

More class pics coming soon.

This is where I will be, Hopefully I will see some of you there xxx.

Firstly. Happy 4th July to my American friend and followers x. Hope you are having a good day away from work 😜  Thanks for stopping by, today my post is two pronged but both related ;)

Firstly, I am over the moon to say a little while back Stampendous  asked me along with Katy Leitch of Postcards from the Attic and Dee Adams of Dee Adams Art to be part of a new Mixed Media Design Team they are putting together. Of course we all said yes and have already been busy creating with their new products ready for their new catalogue release and we will be sharing our makes very soon. We will also be popping up alongside their Longstanding DT every now and then xx

A Huge thank you to Laura Weed and all from Stampendous for asking us to be part of their creative family, I know we are all looking forward to working with the awesome Stampendous range and are very excited to get going.

Here are the links to our Face book and Blogs in case you would like to see who is who xx

Secondly!!

I am also bursting with excitement as in October I will be heading to The USA to teach and one of the best parts is I will be there for Halloween, I have wanted to be in the USA for my fave holiday for as long as I can remember.

Now as we all know, everything is bigger in the States so with this in mind I have taken my mixed media ATC class and made it bigger, It's a class based around Tando-Creatives Media boards which I am addicted to using, they make great tags, toppers and even Cards ;)

I have also designed a new Media tag storage box and there will be some new variations to the existing media boards.

Dates are still being confirmed for a few venues but I will be at the Stamp Addict on the 29th October

and I am hoping to be in the Dixon and Thousand Oaks area so fingers crossed xx

I will do a full write up once things are confirmed and share a few more pics of the project.

Thanks as always for stopping by and joining me xx.
