Still getting there...

DLP add something organic to your PAC 

Larch tree twigs individually wrapped with different variegated machine embroidery threads and then wrapped together in a small bundle 


Detail

Journal 52: sunrise or sunset

I took this picture on our last morning at the chalet, a view that I see every day in an assortment of light conditions and that I love a lot. Here the sun was just starting to hit the peak of the Grande Seolane mountain and as luck would have it....it was also casting sunbeams across my page!

Mixed Media Morsels: play with stencils

The same stencil (TCW mini cell theory) & assorted distress inks to create the background and a darker ink to create the border- stamped message in the centre was done with multiple alphabet stamp sets.

Positiv Journal: happy mail
More saved scraps found a home!

Art prompts galore:5

And it all started with a large 5 advert from Chanel.....
I may yet go on to do the scavenger page too as it's always fun to be able to use those small saved scraps :-)

Every inchie Monday: SKY

It was a toss up between the sky above us or the SKY tv logo and the paper scraps on my desk decided for me!


I also got a birthday card made for my aunt who turns 80 next week - it will be her first birthday without the company of my dad in many a year as he would travel over from France at this time of year...


I succumbed to the lure of the wildflower Thinlits as I had a 15% off voucher!

More work to do and that will be including final decisions on what to pack for our trip to the USA, I can't believe that we will almost in Boston Massachusetts this time next week and I'll be having a whole heap more pages to catch up on when we return - this is one trip where I don't take any crafting away with me.....I stock up on new goodies instead lol.

Read you all again soon...

    Lots of fabulous details and projects Sally, I love the simplicity yet beautiful look of your aunts birthday card. Have fun on your trip and enjoy hobby lobby and Michaels, I bought loads back having collected coupons to use and then they had 50% off one range that included metal embellishments and flowers. Taking an extra bag with you? Xxx

    Dear Sally, love all your goodies this week. The variety of materials and methods you use is just astounding. I like how you used thread on THE LARCH (w'eve been watching a bit of Python, ha!) And the cellular MMM bit, that's cool.
    DO have a bit of fun in Beantown. I could think of a thousand things to do and see...and then there's all my family, too. Can't wait to see your travel notes (and what you do with all the "stuff" from my favorite shops!). Godspeed. Cheryl

      I appreciate your thoughts, Sally. I just wanted to get the stuff out there...I'll be blogging later this week. Say hi to my parents in York Beach. Do stop and see Cape Neddick lighthouse, aka Nubble Light. It's the beacon that reminds me most of "home." And LOBSTER! Makes going through Logan Airport all the worthwhile. c

    What a lot of treats - adorable inchie, and I love the card you made for your aunt - it will be a difficult day for her, no doubt. Fabulous pages all the way - but those wire-wrapped twigs take the prize for me again. Not sure why I find them so delightful, but I do!
