Happy Monday

Hi everyone, 

thanks so much for popping in today. 

I hope you had a lovely weekend. 

I had a very busy one, but it was wonderful. 

I spent 2 days demonstrating with Lavinia products at 

The Stamp Pad in Oldham.

Thanks so much Gwen for asking me. 

It was lovely to spend time with like minded people, to see old friends and meet new ones.

There was an endless supply of cheeky brews and so much cake…it was heavenly 

Thanks to everyone who came, and to those who attended the Make & Takes with me. 

Also to Lisa and Freda for your help. 

This is the project from Saturday 

This is the one from Sunday.

I was so chuffed with the cards that the crafters made, such a clever bunch. 

Thanks also for my gifts, honestly I was spoilt, biscuits, cakes, jelly babies, cards and a special Thank You to 

Sue Barker who knitted me this beautiful snood, for when I am walking Eric.

I adore it. 

I really appreciate them all, 

It is so wonderful to be part of this crafty family. 

I must admit that I am shattered today and my neck is a little bit sore too. 

Maybe I need a little nanny nap.

As it is Monday I have a 

Mindful Monday video to share with you.

You can find it here

I really hope you enjoy it 

Much love and hugs

Mid month reminder - Lavinia Challenge

Hi everyone, thanks so much for popping in today, 

and Hello to our new subscribers. 

I do get excited when we have new members to our family on here. 

Today I am sharing another design for our Lavinia Challenge 

The January theme is 

A Touch Of Sparkle..

Remember the winner is chosen at random and wins £40 to spend at Lavinia..

I started off by using one of my ready made backgrounds. 

This was one that I had made for my YouTube video on panel cards. 

I added some stamping, 

Some grounding 

And some sparkle using the glitter, sparkle posca pen. 

For added sparkle and dimension I stamped Ariel’s  wings again and painted them with some metallic gilding Polish 

So that I could decoupage them. 

Look how the sparkle posca pen shines…I also added some splats with it..

Well , I do love my splats….🧡

Here is a closer look. 

The sentiment is one of the sentiment stickers…

I do find these so useful…

I do hope you enter the challenge…I’m sure you will have fun creating a piece of art and adding some sparkle 

I must get on, I am busy cutting card ready for my 

Lavinia Make and Takes, tomorrow and Sunday…

I am so excited and looking forwards to seeing everyone,,

Gwen as promised me a cheeky brew and biscuit , so I am a happy bunny.

Have a lovely weekend 

Whatever you get up too.

Much love and hugs
