I think I may be addicted to Grunge Board and Paper!
Do you think it is the smell that is addictive? or just the fact that it is such fun to do stuff with? Either way it is definitely better for me than my other addictions!
I promise this is not all I have made today and I don't know why that Grunge Paper rose has shown up again ... erm ... apart from the fact that I put it there ... sorry I am still really chuffed with it!
Anyways ... back to business. The Theme Thursday challenge is Purple this week so I have made some grunge board bangles and coloured them predominantly purple.
The lovely flowers are Stitchels and they are stamped on Grunge paper and adhered to the bangle with my Crop-a-dile so there are no sharp bits on the inside.
Why ever has she made a bangle? I hear you ask ... well it is a long story but basically the Idea-ology hitch fasteners that I bought the other day remind me of the fasteners we had on the leather bangley things I wore as a teenager ... Is anyone else that old? Actually please don't answer that!
Evening all! :0)

well the bangles are superb Linda as for age I do not remember them fasteners. love the colours of these and that grunge paper smell is rather addictive, honestly some of the fetishes us crafter have xx
O what a fab idea, love it. Gorgeous colour combo as well. I have to admit I am old enough to remember those fasteners too.
:-)
Wow, Linda. Your colors are so fabulous. I love the way the petals are blue and purple and go from dark on the outside to paler in the center. Just beautiful.
love what you have made ...you will not believe this but the other day I found a leather bracelet of mine, fixed with a stud, and its sitting on a shelf beside me. I bought it in about 1971 ...now thats old lol.
Oh so cooool-eee-oooooh hun...love dem xx
Oh and I know those bangles you are on about...cos me mum had them when she was a teenager .... LOL ....
fab idea, great bangles Linda. yep - I remember them fasteners too.
Wow these are stunning.
Fantastic work. Love them.
I still buy cuff bracelets so you are very much 'in' in my eyes anyway :D
These are gorgeous, especially the purple one!
This is my first time on your blog. Loving your style.
The colours ing this one are so rich.
Keep up the good work.
I remember those bangles!
I still havent managed to get my hands on any grungepaper, and I SO want some. There hasn't been any in any of the real life shops I have visited (there arent any less than an hour and a half away from me), and the last time I did an online order, it was out of stock.
I have seen so many fabulous things done with it - I really want to try!
They are gorgeous Linda and what a fab idea :) I'm OLDER than that but don't remember wearing leather bangles, perhaps I was too old for them at the time ;) Oh I NEED some grungepaper now, NOW!

They are gorgeous. You have inspired me to have a go at grunge paper, alcohol inks and distress inks.

OMG Linda you just get better and better Grunge bord/paper was made for you. I'm with Ann 'older' those bangles just passed me by! xx
What a brilliant idea Linda, love the colour combination. xxxxx
These are awsome hun, i've had 2 bangles all ready to decorate here for about a year now and still not done anything with them lol, thanks for the inspiration!
Lovely work Linda, pleased to find your blog;o) nettie x
What a brilliant idea! I have (despite the rest of me being the size of half a house) really tiny wrists, and bracelets and bangles are usually way too big. I really like this idea, I could do one the 'right' size for me. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi there just did a workshop at ally to make the grunge braclets so made my first one they are fantastic.
I just love what you have done with yours!
