Apologies over - now to today's business.
This is a belated birthday card I made for Lynne H. I had received a card from Helen the other week for my birthday and I just loved her background. So I wrote to her and asked her how she had done it - this is my attempt at something similar.
I have just sent another two similar ones, and if you look on my desk you will see there is yet another background waiting to be used on yet another card. I just have so many birthday cards to get ready that I am sure it will be used before long.
can you see it at the back?
On the left is my folder which contains my stencils and top of that is my newest stencil and my journal from the other week when I did a class with Dyan Reaveley. I just cannot get enough of those backgrounds done for the journal - I love them. Trouble is other things keep encroaching on my time.
Covered up is a DT piece for Artful Times, a challenge blog which I have been involved in the running of for quite some time now. It was the birth-child of Sam, myself and Von and now I have Wendy helping me with it but we are closing it down shortly. I have been trying to get the last few challenges done and scheduled for when I go away next week. That and all the medical appointments in readiness for my short holiday means my journalling time is cut down. Boo Hoo!
Anyway, you didn't come here to hear me whinge and moan - no, you came for scintillating conversation and motivation. Sorry - maybe next week! If you are still here I suppose you are itching to move on and see other blogs so I'll see you over at the stamping ground and we can journey together.
Well, I will play catch up as I am out at the park with Chloe and her mummy - yes, we are feeding the ducks and swans (but not bread I hasten to add). See you!
