Pollycraft Challenge

Pollycraft Challenge, originally uploaded by Bio-hazar.

I've found another sketch page today from following a link on Sandra's blog from Saturday Sketch. It's Called Pollycraft Monday and they are running a competition, so I thought I'd enter. Here is the card I made for the Pollycraft challenge sketch. Part of the challenge was to also to use some Pollycraft product. They had some lovely free papers to download, which I did, but decided to use the Wilbur Woof downloadable file (not free) instead, as I was immediately drawn to it while I was looking around there shop. I printed out a few copies of the Wilbur Woof file and made used it as a Decoupage 3D image, which I embellished with Basic Grey Wassail rub-ons. The papers used are also Basic Grey Wassail Christmas papers. The edges of the papers were inked with Ranger Distress Inks in Vingate Photo and Fired Brick. The sentiment is a sticker I backed onto more BG paper. Three more BG snowflake rub-ons were added at the top corner. Then the rub-ons were then accented with red seed beads. Thanks for looking!

The Bead Shop

Long time no blog! I seem to be very behind this week in updating my blog. This might be because I've not really done any crafts this week. My one day when I usually get to do crafts is Wednesday, but this Wednesday I took a friend of a friend up to London. I meet Kelly through a friend at church. She and her family are over from America for a few months but head back soon. I meet Kelly and her daughter at Lewisham Station and we traveled up into London together. While there we visited three very different bead shops. First one was called "The Bead Shop", then we visited "The London Bead Company". Finally we popped into "Aura Beads" in Neal's Yard. Then we enjoyed a lovely lunch at the "Cafe Eterno" which is run by the London City Mission.

The above photo is from the window of the "The Bead Shop" and below is some photo's taken at Neal's Yard.

Cheese, Game and Small

This is for this weeks entry for the Photo Scavenger Hunt. I really struggled with this weeks words "Cheese, Game and Small" At first I wasn't sure that I could get one photo with all the words, so I tried a few photo of a giant game board we have that has a mouse game in it. Then I decided to use a piece of cheese as a game piece. After seeing the "mini" Babybel in the fridge I thought this could be small as well. So ended up with this photo of "Small Cheese and Game". I also did a few really small shots of seed beads. A couple of my favourites are below. Thanks for looking!
