Mid month Inspiration


Morning all my wonderful friends and followers

Hope everyone is doing well 

I thought I would share some of the good things going on in my
Life at the moment.
As some of you may know I went to sewing and water color class
done by a local charity called Ascend, 
Since losing my BFF I have been a bit lost and one of my daughters 
said to join a crochet group which sounded fun so I did 
and have so much fun and laughter.
I new a few of the ladies as we all live in the area
one of them is the head of Ascend and she asked me if I fancy teaching 
crocheting for some of her ladies.
I said Yes, as Ascend have been good to me.
and its great to give back,
And as I am still waiting for good weather so we can order this god damn work top 
so hubby can sort the offices out. Which is driving me mad I need my crafting to de stress
LOL.
******
Now on to my wonderful DT project
we are halfway through july realy it has gone so quick,

I have made a card for you a simple one as I am loving
 all the simple cards I have seen all over blogland lately.

 ******


Shopping list 

Grungy look backing card is also from 
8x8 White card 
flat back perils  
ribbon




Dont forget its anything goes and there is £40 for the winner 
if you use IC items.
*****
This card was an 8x8 I cut it down to a 6.5x6.5 
Then took the heart stencil and only doing the edges of the card
Covered it with the sparkle medium and left to dry.
Then I used the ledger stencil and using the pink again covered the grunge card
left them both to dry.
once dry I hot glued the grungy card to the white one,
then added some perils from my stash and the beaded drop is also from my stash,
I added a small bow. a very easy card and fab results.

*********


I thought I would do a card as I don't do many now 
I took a blank 8x8 white card cut it to 6.5 x 6.5 then a bit of black 
and cut it slightly smaller then took the stencil and using black star I covered the stencil 
then removed it and left to dry.
once it was dry I glued it to the card then ripped it a small bit and using distress ink pad all over 
to to blend the music card to the rest of the card.
I then took a sentiment from the new Stationer's Desk A4 paper pack.
I scrunched it up and tor it in a few spots and also covered it in ink.
I added a small button butterfly and an old earring to finish.
Hope you enjoyed this card and hope to see what amazing things
you all come up with.
