AWOL

Good Morning my Crafty Friends,

My last post was the day before I went to London for a few days with my Sister to see Mama Mia. The show was absolutely fabulous, really enjoyed it although I was not feeling 100%.

Returned home on the Thursday, chest pain getting worse so went to A&E. I was admitted for tests & Pleurisy was the diagnosis.  Antibiotics and painkillers was the treatment and when the pain was under control, home to recover.

So here I am, hoping to be back tomorrow with my DT make for Dream Valley and then round to see what wonderful creations you have all been making.

Be charmed

Good Morning,

A bit late this morning, on A/L so did not schedule post and forgot, to be honest I've been having a little play this morning making a home deco item. I'll share later in the week when back from London.

The challenge this fortnight over at 

Dream Valley

 is:

Add a Charm

I bought a pack of charms some time ago now and never used them. However I knew exactly which one I was going to use and what image would be ideal when the challenge was announced 

Image -  LOTV rubber stamp (can't find it in store to link to, sorry)

Coloured with - Markers and paper pieced

Papers - bought in a pack of 12x12's ages ago from QVC

Charm - The works

Ribbon - market

Star - cut on cameo

Hop on over here to see what fab inspiration the team have come up with

Paper Flowers

Good Evening,

Thought I would share a selection of cards I made recently using Sketchy Flowers from DigiStamp Boutique which I paper pieced. The sentiments were from the Black Floral Set also from DSB

The paper used on this card is Boho Chic from First Edition

The paper used on these cards are Back to Basics IV 

I must say I got really carried away making these cards which are snapped up really quick.

Some I paper pricked round the image others I edged with sketchy lines.

I did make some using the poppy image but they disappeared before I got a photo, might make another to share some day soon. I'm on A/l next week so may get a chance then.

Can't wait as going to London to see Mama Mia with my Sister and staying over for a couple of nights. Must practice my singing & moves !!!!! 

I am going to enter:
