Autumn Leaf

 
Hello everyone and hope your all having a good week so far.
 
So back to trying to give myself some more time for me and back to my distress inks!! I just love Autumn time and the colours are my favourite ones.
I have used my inks and a leaf stamp from Stamper's Anonymous. I also added some tile letters which I have to admit have been sitting in my room for years!!!
 
I am joining in with challenges:

Cherish

 
Hello everyone and hope you are all ok.
 
It seems such a while since I last did some crafting but life and routines have changed for me recently and crafting has unfortunately had to take a back seat!!!However I have managed to find some time to myself.
 
I have used distress inks(Worn Lipstick, Mustard Seed and Tea Dye) and a stamp from La Blanche. I have also used a Sizzix on the edge butterfly die. I have added some buttons tied with bakers twine.
 
The sketch I have used is from this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge and I have rotated it:

Journal Soup Two !!!!



Hello everybody. I must apologise for not having been around much lately at all. Life has been going at a busy pace here and days were disappearing so quickly!!!
I must catch up with you all now!!!

I have recently joined an online class called Journal Soup. This is number two and as I so enjoyed doing number one I know this will be just as enjoyable. All the details can be found here for anyone wishing to have a look.

So this piece is taken from Lesson one.
Lots of painted layers in the background and the house is a collage of printed backgrounds.
I have added a pop of bright red washi tape on the bottom.

This will be able to join in with challenges:
Craft Your passion #230- going round in circles

Make Time for Yourself

 
Hello everyone. Well it's time for school to go back here after the summer holidays so here's hoping normal routine will resume in the craft room!!!!It's very quiet in my house just now!!!!
 
This project was made using wonderful bright and warm colour Dylusions spray inks. Lots of painted layers and large word stamps(one stamped whole and the other cut apart into separate words) with this one. I think it is important that we all find a little me time somewhere in our busy schedules.
 
This will fit into challenges:
