Scrap busting

 In a vain attempt to reduce my scraps pile!!!!

Tim Holtz blueprint stamps on distress ink mop-up backgrounds 

Flower stamps on small squares on paper left overs

Another TH on distress + white embossing 

More TH with copper embossing.

And there’s still a lot of scraps in the box!!!

Spring

 The weather is finally starting to resemble what Spring is which is a relief, it’s just a shame that half our neighbours seem to have Covid right now! Fingers crossed that they all feel better soon and refrain from passing it on…..

AWOL

 Looks like I have failed to get to my blog more often!

I’ve been busy trying to block out the dreadful world news just like so many other people by making art so here’s what I did….

Colour me positive:

Life documented:

This last one requires me to be in a bullet style mood! Definitely not my best!!!

I’ve also been working on the daily scavenger prompts which I will share with you next time and I’ve been inspired by Tracy Scott’s doodle a day which has led to these

Hopefully you have not given me up for dead and have enjoyed visiting, see you again soon!
