Tims tag August and a few days away

Hello there - sorry for being a bad blogger - things have been pretty busy here and I haven't had chance to make much let alone blog!!!! But I am nipping on this evening having just made my Tims tag for August - oh I did have fun making this and I adore the result! Hope you do too...


I followed the techniques used by Tim in his tag here. I also added rock candy crackle to my diecuts - I love the effect.


I had to make the sea from other die cut words but I used TH products all the way through the tag. I also added distress glaze from the mosaic kit to some of the framework elements. The vegetation was cut using a TH punch.

I would like to enter this into timholtz 12-tags-of-2016-august.

We have had a few days fun and games over the last week. On Saturday, Lucy's birthday we went to the Forbidden Corner in Yorkshire.



It was a lovely day out with my mum and Shauns family - his brother and mum and brothers family came up to stay - it was lovely to see them all.

Last Tuesday/wednesday I met an old friend and we had a night at Ilam Hall Youth Hostel in Debyshire.


We had a walk to the stepping stones and then up Thorpe Cloud on the Tuesday. On the Wednesday we cycled the Manifold Trail ...



It was excellent fun and the weather was perfect! It was great to see my old friend Julie too - it had been too long!

Hope you're having a good time enjoying this lovely weather!

Off to check out what you've been up to!

Hugs
