Wednesday Stamper - Wild West

The week's theme at Wednesday Stamper (until tomorrow at least!) is Wild West. This gave me another great opportunity to make an ATC using the Oxford Impressions Cowgirl Blues stamps. I had to include a lasso again too! And the cowgirl doesn't have a tattoo - although the walnut ink spray gives that impression.

If you haven't already checked out the just released Winter Snow collection of stamps from Oxford Impressions I suggest you do! They are lovely and very versatile for Christmas stamping.

Vintage Dressmaking Jigsaw Pieces

Today I received my fabulous jigsaw pieces from Jenny Crossley - this is a collaborative swap run by Annie van Leeuwin - eight participants all using the same 16 piece jigsaw and decorating two predetermined pieces for each of the other participants in their specified theme (including our own). At the end we will each have a whole jigsaw based on our theme. My theme is Vintage Dressmaking and Jenny's two beautiful pieces are just perfect!

I spent yesterday afternoon working on mine but I don't have any at the finished stage yet. I am also working on an embellisher ATC trade for Eva over in Sweden - check out her blog - lots of lovely photos and art!
