A long time

 Hi everyone it's a very long time since I blogged. So thought I would give you a update what I'm upto.

My time nowadays is taking care of my partner who had a stroke 4 years ago so I craft now when I'm able too. 

I have finally got my crafting bits back out.  At the moment I'm busy making christmas cards, a spot of colouring, knitting and crochet and will be doing a bit of wreath making too nearer to Christmas. 

Hopefully I will add some of the makes on here. 

We'll bye for now and have a lovely day.

Happy crafting

I'm back

 Hi everyone. Think it's about time I updated my blog.

I have been away so long. 

I am no longer doing dt work but might start challenges again in the coming future. Depending on life, as some might know my partner for 20 years had a serious stroke nearly three years. 

My life is now caring for him. But I so miss the  paper crafting side of things. 

I only now make greeting cards for special occasions but I also now like to make wreaths. 

Here is a recent card I made for one of my valued customers. 

The card base is 7ins x 7ins 

I mounted it on gold mirri cardstock

Added a acetate front 

The number was die-cut from a new number die cut I bought from amazon uk. 

Image can be purchased from 

Crafts u print.

Blogging again

Crikey I am blogging again about time.

Somewhere I lost my heart in crafting but have been busy trying to get my crafting back to inspire me I bought a book by Colouring Heaven Halloween which has inspired me back to colouring.

In the book there was a fabulous artist called

Enys Guererro she has a fabulous group on facebook as well as has a patreon account.

So for this weeks challenge at 

Crafting from the heart

We haven't a sponsor so decided to use a colouring page by

Enys Guererro the colouring page I chose for the challenge is called

Fenya

Here is the colouring.

I printed the black and white colouring page onto 

Drawing paper from WH Smiths and coloured it with my old faithful Marco Raffine Pencils

and also used a posca pen in white and black.

I think these colouring pages all tell a different story.

To say I am hooked on them is a understatement.
