Good Morning all - I'm scheduling this on Wednesday for Thursday morning - I'm off to the craft show at the trafford centre annexe today so won't be online until later.
Today I've got a journal I've made to make keeping track of challenges a little more simple. I write them down on bits of paper and they get left all over the place - so now I have my jazzy new journal to keep track of all the ongoing challenges that I could enter!
The whole thing was really a response to the Hels Sheridan - I predict a riot challenge over at the Sunday Stampers - where she's asking for a riot of colour! I used shabby shutters distress stain on some cut to size grunge paper and then added spritz of radiant rain in purple, yellow, blue and red, then I worked in some distress inks and did some back ground stamping. Then I added the birdcage from
crafty-emblies and the writing using the new lesson stamps from Clarity. Finally I spritzed the flowers and added them and the leaves!
I'd like to enter my journal into the following challenges:
Sunday stampers
pinkleart.blogspot.co.uk: I predict a riot
steampunkjunkies: Anything goes
vintageelusionscardscrafts: Things with wings
bearlymine-challenges: Anything goes.
Here's hoping me and my mum have fun at the craft fair today!
Big Hugs and thanks for stopping by and for any comments you leave!

ReplyDeleteOh Rachel, I have a very sad face (big pout). We went to the TC today and when I saw the craft fair I went in, we probably passed each other several times! I thought it was very good, although I did sit down more than I walked around. Love your journal, great colours and the birdcage is brilliant. Great idea to keep things in one place, very sensible. Crafty hugs, Anne x
