Blending just for fun

Hi everyone, 

I hope your day is going well 

and that you have a lovely weekend planned. 

It is our January online class tomorrow..

I am so looking forwards to it…

What better thing to do in a storm , 

than stay at home , drink coffee , eat cake and craft online with friends. 

That is as long as we have electricity and internet. 

Today I have an extra little catch up video to share with you 

Just because

The dentist for a check up for me.

Life is just full of ups and downs.

More Mica Minerals fun

Hi everyone , 

Thanks so much for popping in today. 

I do hope your week is going well. 

We had a shock last night when Adam had chest and neck pains. 

He was seen by a paramedic and sent to A&E. 

He had a night off blood tests, X-rays and we are awaiting results…

Fingers crossed it wasn’t a heart attack which is what they think. 

He is only 36…

So not much sleep here 

As it is Tuesday , I have our usual catch up video. 

Today I have more inspiration for you using Mica Minerals. 

Here is a closer look 

I do hope you enjoy it

Blending and Blue Hues

Hi everyone 

Thanks so much for popping in today. 

I do hope your Friday is going well. 

I must admit that I am so excited as this weekend  I have my first online workshop 

with a group of crafters over in Kansas…

I will be their virtual teacher..

Fingers crossed my internet behaves…

Wish me luck 🍀 

Today I have some more inspiration for this months challenge 

Blue Hues 

I started with some ink blending 

Followed by stamping 

I do love all our foliage and floral stamps 

This is a great time to look out all your different colours of Versafine Clair ink pads 

Time for the moon 

and finally some water splats…

Here is a closer look 

Good old faux bleaching 

An old, but still, great technique.

Remember the winner is chosen at random and wins a £40 lavinia voucher. 

All the details are on the Lavinia stamps website 

I hope you have a lovely weekend 

Take care all 

Much love and hugs

Time for a Fairytale

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in again. 

I do hope today is going well. 

Another busy one here..

Recording videos for next week 

So nice to see the grass today…the snow has finally all gone…

Today it is time for a fairytale.

Here is a closer look 

It is so good to combine stamps and stencils 

One of my favourite things to do. 

January is the perfect time to look  through older stamps and finding ones that you haven't  used for a while.
