Hot Hot Hot!

Well this is just awesome!  I am sat outside in this beautiful weather, Macbook on my knee, green tea in my hand (would like it to be a Pimms but got to pick little one up from school later!) writing this blog.....sat under a huge umbrella I might add - I burn easily :-)

I have been busy this last week catching up on a few bits and pieces.  First I finished my sample for my class at Samuel Taylors Brighouse on 23rd June.  Its all about making flowers for craft projects - bet you couldn't guess that could you!

I am also going on hols to Devon soon - can't wait!  And so decided to take my small journal with me so I could write about what we did.  So I wanted to get some journal pages ready which I could do some further doodling on.  I have to admit I really lovely creating journal pages - its all about you and what you like and being totally imaginative.  My husband doesn't get it at all!!!  Anyway this is what I came up with.  Plenty of space to write.

I also managed to get my June Journal page for Kate Crane's 2012 monthly page challenge  completed but you will have to wait for June to see that.....

Bye for Now

Distress,Distress, Distress!

Hi Bloggers!
Yes two posts in one day! And no I am not distressed!  Actually I'm just working my way through a long to-do list a lot of which consists of stuff on the Mac - "Update craft teaching information" is next so here it is.  I will be teaching a class at Samuel Taylors at Brighouse on 19th May on how to use all the TH Distress products.  I am mad about distress inks so I am really looking forward to running this class!

The cards that we will be making feature the distress inks, stains and markers.

Hope you like them and hope to see some of you there!

May Art Journal page

Hi Bloggers!

Well the journalling addiction still continues.  This is my May attempt for Kate Crane's 2012 diary challenge.  Have been desperate to use this stamp for ages and so I decided that I could wait no longer and used it for May's page.  I also have learned my lesson  not to put too much on the page and I have quite comfortably got my day squares fitted on the page!  Yipppee!  The only disappointing thing was that I had some ink run through the centre of the page from another inking session - never mind I guess it adds to the character of it all.

And the final page with squares.....
