These miniature houses are chipboard die cuts from Julie Van Oosten's Collections range as well as some of the letters & numbers. Couldn't resist going back to my favorite background technique & colour for this project.

Altered Jigsaw & Mini Houses
These 2 projects were created for a swap hosted by Greta in Australia. The puzzle swap uses the wonderful Basic Grey background paper from the Urban Couture range, Paper Whimsy images, rusty vines & filigree corners, as well as die cut lenses from Julie Van Osten's Collections chip board range.
Paper Whimsy Banners
These were created for a banner swap in the Paper Whimsy yahoo group, there were groups of 3 creating words such as Art, Joy & Fly in 3 colourways, Pastels, Jewels & Earthtones.......guess which word & colour group I was part of!
For the background I simply sprayed some vintage book pages with Moon Shadow Mist and added the swirls with a stamp by Christine Adolph from Stampington using Timber Brown Stazon ink. The tiny laser cut filligree butterflies were a gift from my dear friend Cynthia . Thanks Cyn :)
I'm Back!
First & foremost I would like to thank you all for you wonderful comments left here as they really are appreciated & apologise for not being in touch for so long.....you'll see why below.
Hadn't intended to be absent for so long, but December was a really hectic month as we were busy packing for a house move just before Christmas, then had a flying visit to London for a couple of days where I saw Marilyn Manson in concert yeah! The tickets were a treat from my son who came with me........you're never too old to rock you know!

Since the move we've had endless telephone & internet connection problems which has really handicapped my online presence, Jersey Telecoms have been working on this for a month now & I'm hoping the fault is finally resolved.
Anyway, I haven't been bone idle and have managed to unpack enough art supplies to complete some swaps that were due. Will reveal all in the folowing posts.
