Weekend working

Had a great day on Saturday at Otley monthly crop run by Vanessa from Papermaze, this months project seemed perfect to use for a lovely picture of my Mum on her birthday

Happy January

Having fun today playing with new pastel chalk pencils, a great pressie from my good friend Jackie

It's been a long time since I have had the opportunity to colour and these are a brilliant product used along with a blending pencil really keep a strong colour.

I used some previously stamped images from the Stampotique range which are great for colouring

WOYWW Messy Desk

Sorry -  hopelessly late with my link this week - it's been a full on few days. Yesterday was Mum's birthday and what you see is the mess of a VERY last minute card.....the reason??                            My friend Jackie and I were on a weekend of Art Journaling  a workshop with fabulous Kate Crane www.thekathrynwheel.blogspot.co.uk , what an amazing weekend, day 1 we played with paints and day 2 with inks - we had lots of fun but am only posting 1 picture as time is of the essence

Nearly forgot.......yummy afternoon tea at Betty's - here are the before and after pics

Thanks for stopping by....have a good week x

Autumn

Today I looked out the window and realised Autumn is on it's way, this season reminds me of closing down the garden, the first frost is on the way and steaming pumpkin soup .....

I made this card with Stampin Up Scene in a garden stamps which just remind me of Autumn, I used cream hammer card for the base from www.papermilldirect.co.uk/  the card makes a really strong base especially if you are going to add layers.

WOYWW - TIME

This week I seem to be in a reflective mood and have been thinking about how quickly time passes, WOYWW seems to roll around before you know it - I am grateful to Julia at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk for making me more aware of the passage of time, wanting to fit more creative things in and the buzz we all get from sharing.

Today and it seems appropriately on my workspace is the start of a clock face - this is a first for me and in my usual style I am pondering (procrastinating??) on how to decorate and thinking where should it go once it's finished (ha ha barely started!!)

 

I seem to have so many paints and stamps I am spoilt for choice which is sometimes the very thing that stops me.

 

Maybe I'll just drink my tea and have a wander around your crafty space for inspiration.....

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week
