HI Ho peeps,

Well my insomnia is at it's worst... not getting any sleep  but hey. I have been busy with a few things.. I have been making some thankyou cards. I want to share one of them with you.. I don't often work in pink ..but I am proud of this little girl. I used alcohol inks to alter metal tape, sink washers and various little bits n bobs... this sort of card for me fills all my boxes but most importantly I am totally unique. This sort of card would be very difficult to teach as the same products used and vastly different results. I really relish that happening but a lot of adults want to re create your work..however ..the fun is rummaging around your stash to see what you can play with. Hope you like this ..leave me a comment if you wish. Have a great Sunday.. my Mum is travelling up to see me as I type so all is good in the world xx

well it has been a while...lost the mojo for a bit...nothing like having to make a card to boot you back...i am making three thankyou cards tonight. it is with sadness though that i wanted to make a sympathy card for my colleagues from last year who unfortunately experienced the loss of Angela, a very lovely lady who was part of the learning support team i worked with last year. I am happy with the result..yes i wanted it this black..the slight glimmer has not been picked up in the shot but my inspiration was from a scene from "The Forsyte Saga" .. the death of a relative and how people dressed for funerals in the bygone era...elegant but very much black all the way. I hope you agree. Angela... I am blessed to have known you xx
