Hi Everyone!

How are you all?  I'm

exhausted.........spent a

fair amount of time today

searching for the shed key.

All I wanted to do was to

see if it would be possible

to store some paintings

in there...............aaargh!

Cue Jane Castle to the

rescue .....

"Having sorted a couple of drawers

 out in the craft room I reminded 

myself of a wonderful pack of 

Tando Creatives Whimsical Houses 

so decided to have a play and create 

a wall hanging for my shed and 

back gate keys.

I cut a piece of wood to the required

 size and sanded well before giving

 it a libral coat of chalk ink. 

Having decided on which houses to use

 I then gave them a base coat of 

white gesso and then began painting the 

various parts in bright colours.

Then using various PaperArtsy stamps,

 inks, stencils and grunge paste began to

 decorate each of the pieces.

The piece of wood was then lightly sanded 

again and 2 holes made to screw

 in the cup hooks. 

A Shrink Plastic key was made using 

the stamp from HotPicks 1010 and 

once heated a little Treasure Gold 

was added.

A hole was made in the 2 roofs so

 I could attach some wire for hanging 

and this was done before glueing the

 houses to the wood.

 I then decided I needed some trees, so 

inking 2 leaves from Tando Creatives 

Mini Leaves 2 was the final addition 

to this project.

I'm very pleased with how this turned out

 it's fun, practical and different to anything

 in the shops. 

Have fun creating X"

Thank you Jane - your timely

project is going to save me

so much time spent looking

for the keys!

First I need to visit the SALE

'Til tomorrow
