Great News

Just checking in to let you all know I am still alive, and I finally got a new job! I have been working for a local engineering company as stock controller and general office assistant, I love it, I no longer have dread in the morning and have got my weekends and evenings back, it's great. I am hoping to get back into this blogging business just as soon as my mojo fully returns.

I am still here.............!

It's been a very long time, I haven't really had anything to show you, I have been struggling to come up with anything so I have been messing around with some inks and things in sort of an art journal, I made a few cards when I had a week off  but mostly I spent my time with the kids, I have been feeling as though they are growing up too fast and my time with them is slipping away!  I work in retail which means I work evenings and weekends this takes away a lot of my family time.  So I have been job hunting without much success, and I think all this has zapped my creative mojo!

Colouring on Kraft.............

I love colouring on kraft with my pencils, it looks so effective, I made this simple card for my FIL's birthday, I stamped the image in Memento rich cocoa, directly onto a 5x7 kraft card blank, coloured with coloursoft pencils, added a stamped sentiment and little buttons.
