The idea behind my squares

I've opened this blog to share my squares with you

It is my intention to make a square most days using up some of my many scraps and bits and pieces along with some of my stamps that haven't been used very much at all

I got the inspiration for this blog from Johanna who I followed right throughout 2010 - Johanna has given me her permission to follow suit and try to do the same as she did - Johanna is a hard act to follow her squares have been amazing

Allsorts Challenge - Recycling

























The Allsorts challenge this week is to " Recycle " its being sponsored by Letraset who have kindly supplied Aquamarker pens for the lucky winner

I've used lots of bits and pieces to produce this square - the card itself is from a cereal box - I then covered it with a page from an old book. I printed my main image on canvas and then cut round it and added this lovely little frame that is available for Crafty Individuals after I had inked and stamped it. I added a piece of old lace to the side and finished off with my wording

Theme Thursday - Love























This is my square for the Theme Thursday Challenge where this week the theme is "Love" I covered my square with some old sheet music and inked the edges - I stamped my image 3 times - a bit off the page - the stamp was a freebie with the Craft Stamper mag. I highlighted the words on the music with Glossy Accents and then added a threaded button
