Inspirations from the lovely Kath

Well I hope my crafting friends enjoyed their afternoon yesterday as much as I did playing with all my new Hero Arts stamps and Tim Holtz inks and there's more on the way, great, more fun to look forward too. Now must get back to tidying my sunroom, always make more mess than when I started. It's a lovely sunny day and changed all my cushions and covers so least I have done something in the

Back to the Future

Morning folks, Hero Arts seem to be the in thing with me at the moment, loving all this playing around with their stamps and using Tim Holts inks. Stamps and inks strewn everywhere, such a messy crafter am I. So next job is to get tidied up, especially as my granddaughter will be making an appearance tomorrow and she makes a bee line for my stash. Not quite ready for handling these big stamps.

Challenging Oneself!

A sunny Monday morning to you out there and no I haven't been beavering away this morning and produced a card. Must say really enjoying this stamping malarky, just wish there was classes out there to give me more confidence and techniques, there's nothing like hands on to get it into my thick skull, memory a bit dull nowadays. Middleage! not going down that road, body maybe, we can't do much

Evening folks, been at this card since yesterday late morning, on a go slow and it's already late. Followed a spoonful of sugar's  sketch challenge this week and since I'm on a go slow, hopefully it suits a couple of other challenges at the same time.
No cards for a couple of days. Off sightseeing, stopping off at Balmoral Castle and Tea out on the way home, hope the sun shines for us.
