Clean and simple

pThis week has been soooo busy, working, babysitting and just spending time doing those mundane soul destroyingly boring chores, washing, dusting, shopping, cooking. The list is endless.

There was a break in the tedium when the mass pumpkin carving session took place. Six pumpkins carved and ready to go 🎃


Last night was spent stuffing sweets, lollies, balloons and party poppers into cellophane bags and tying with ribbon ready for the trick or treaters and making a couple of plain and simple cards.




I love the images and the colouring isn't terrible but I'm certain these need a little something extra and I'm not sure what.....

The fires lit and the craft rooms calling so goodbye for now X

Somewhat excited


today to be entering my first challenge with this card. I was going for sunny day and beach huts but picked up the wrong ink and instead of a beautiful blue sky ended up with grey stormy clouds. 
I just love the 'be beautiful, be yourself' which I decided on for a friend who is struggling at the moment.

The challenge is don't be blue at http://craftycreationschallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/challenge-300-dont-be-blue.html and its going to be the first time I've posted a card anywhere apart from my own page (which doesn't actually have viewers) 


Wish me luck.
❤️💛💚💜💙

Hello my MOJO

It has been such a long time since I was here, when I was in a grey place in my head and heart.
Today I find myself in a much better place and determined to make the most of my new found smile.

I have been working on getting a tiny craft room sorted since moving house two and a half years ago and it has almost happened. I have time and energy to feel able to begin crafting again.
Over the last two weeks I have started to play with the toys in my little craft space and have produced  a few cards which I think I might just like, despite the simple less is more style of them.

I wonder if anybody will see them on here ?
