1st Grading at TaeKwondo

On Friday Daniel had his first grading day at Taekwondo.

He has been going for 3 months now and throughly loves it.

I really don't know who was more excited yesterday, him or me ;-)

He was first up, and went through his moves with such confidence.

I'm so very proud of him standing up there on his own

at only just 5 years old.

Happy Easter 2012

My first "play" project I made using my new software called

Serif Craft Artist

My Mom has ordered the upgrade for me, "Craft Artist Professional".

I'm such a lucky girl can't wait to get my hands on it.. ;-)

as this was so much fun to create.

Happy Retirement Card

I decided to make this card for a work colleague who is retiring next

week.  I've worked with Barbara for 10 years.  She started off as my

line manager, then became a good friend.  Over the 10 years she saw

me through the joys of the birth of my son, and the sadness of the

passing of my dearest Dad.

I know she will love this card for it being different to the typical

retirement card.

I will really miss working with her and seeing her around

the office every day. 

Happy Retirement Barbara, enjoy it.....!!

Dominique Doll 2006 - Winner

Spooktacular Domino Doll

As a memeber of the DominoART yahoo Group I was very proud

to be the winner of the 2006 Dominique Doll Mascot Competition

MATERIALS
2 x super sized dominoes, 4 x regular sized dominoes, 4 x small dominoes
1 x mini domino, 1 x checkit, 1 x Lollipop stick
Bead wire
Aleen’s Glue
Hot glue gun
DecoColor opaque paint marker Liquid Gold - broad line
Ghosts, pumpkin, witch embellishments by Craftime Ltd (UK Company)
Hair is the tassel off a curtain tie back
Face stamp unknown
Burgundy and gold glass beads
Adirondack Alcohol inks :- wild plum, stream, butterscotch

I already had the checkit on my display shelf.  The stamp is unknown, but it was coloured using Sharpies.   When I was thinking about what and how to create the face of my spooktacular domino doll, I glanced over to my  “inspiration” domino display shelf and knew I just had to use this piece

DIRECTIONS

Stamped dominoes with the Adirondack alcohol inks (polished stone technique)

Outlined dominoes using Liquid Gold marker pen

Arrange beads to create arms and legs

Glue arms and legs to wrong side of domino, then attach front domino to secure

Glue wrong side of 1 super sized domino to lollipop stick, attach arms and legs and then

attached the other super sized domino as body

Glue on neck domino and face checkit domino (for gluing of all dominoes I used my hot glue gun)

Embellish with ghost on body, attach pumpkin to middle of forehead on face/checkit, attach witches and leaves to hair.
