I hope today is going to be warmer than yesterday - brr it was bloomin' freezing this can't be May!!
We have a fun challenge this week at My Time to Craft
its a sketch to follow
I like sketches - it takes the hard work out of deciding the layout away before you even start
I decided to use one of my older LOTV stamps called Party girl -available here
I haven't used LOTV for ages and they used to be my favourites
I haven't used LOTV for ages and they used to be my favourites
As you can see I've gone very distressed - I love this style and haven't made a really distressed card in ages either, so I had real fun with this one with my inks and distressing tool and some glitter for good measure!
and here's the sketch, I stuck pretty close to it no reversing or anything like that and I used things I haven't used in a while - having a complete change gave me a bit of enthusiasm back - that to be honest I haven't had lately, sometimes you need to get out of a repetitive rut to help yourself. - here's hoping it works cos I need all the help I can get!
I had myself a little shopping spree in TK Max on Thursday while I was out and about! I don't go in very often I think you need time in that shop just to browse - and I did pleanty of that! They had some fab craft goodies on sale - lots of gorgeous packs of 20 reels of American crafts ribbons, some lovely papers and packs of embellies - real bargains. That's where the ribbon and buttefrly came from on my card. As well as the crafty things I bought the cat a new bed, a pair of fab sunglasses and some flip flops for my hollies,some designer PJ shorts for my son and some new oven baking sheets - as you see I wandered the whole store!! TK Max is a store you have to be in the mood for I think - it was definitely worth a visit for me lol.
