Hi folks, it's my turn to post a project over on our joint Blog again. Pop over to Craft Stamping Quartet to take a look. If you're not familiar with what happens over there, myself and three crafting friends take it in turns to pick a project based on items featured in Craft Stamper magazine. We each make the project, and post it on our Blog. We don't live near each other, but this way, we feel like we are crafting together.
This month's projects have a slight twist, because they are based on a colour challenge, but we have been allowed to combine them with another random project selected from either the March, April or May edition of the magazine. I chose to use Rachel Jackson's 'Carve a Niche' from the April edition, featuring an altered book. Here is a picture of my take on her project:
Pop over to our joint blog for details on how I put this together. Thanks for stopping by today, Judith xx

Forgotten Friday 24- A Touch of Venice
Hi folks, it's Friday again, this week has flown by! My Daughter is safely back in the UK, but her ankle is in plaster for the next five weeks at least. She has a lovely purple plaster cast- a girl after my own heart! We have been backwards and forwards to the Hospital a lot this week, and need to go again next week for another x-ray. Hopefully then she can settle down a bit, and concentrate on letting the ankle heal. I'm off to pick a wheelchair up for her tomorrow, as she can't walk on it for several weeks. Who would have thought a trip to Disneyland could be so dangerous?
Anyway, onto my project for this week. I have chosen to use a background stamp from Hero Arts, 'Italian Poetry Background', as the starting point for my card. I am very fond of Italy, as those of you who know me will know. I coloured my card with Versamagic chalk inks, that were already laying on my craft desk. I used a lovely mask from Tattered Angels down the left hand side. I then added an as yet unused stamp from Stamp Camp of a scene from Venice. The chalk inks give a very dreamy, watery quality to the picture. The final touch was to add a lovely flourish from Chocolate Baroque in the corner, almost like a watermark.
Don't forget to have a rummage through your stash, to see what you have that is forgotten or neglected. Make something with it, and add a link in my comments. I'll pop along to your blog to take a look. Thanks for stopping by today, Judith xx
