A Very Pink Frame!!!!!

Hellooooo,

I'm a bit late with this post, sorry, but have had mega problems with the Internet.

Yesterday, for some reason a BT man decided to fiddle around with our

telegraph pole and managed to cut most of us off!!  Unfortunately I was mid post

for the latest DT project and lost the whole lot grrrrrrrr!!!!  And before you say it....

........yes I know, I should copy and paste it before something like that happens!!

 

Anyway we did manage to get put back on today so I have the phone

 and Internet again but my mobile refuses to find any network coverage

 as that gets a boost from the Internet.

 

What I should have posted was that this week on

The Craft Barn Blog, it is PaperArtsy week and here is my sample.....

 

 

I absolutely loved making these flowers....

Hope you like it,

 

See you soon,

Hi everyone,

Gosh isn't it warm again???

I'm not a great lover of the heat, what with hot flushes and Tamoxifen, I just

get soooooo warm!!!

Had alovely day in France and Belgium on Monday.

Got the early train through the tunnel at stupid o'clock and got back about 9.30pm.

I was absolutely shattered but it was a nice day out and I got a little sunburnt sitting

the beach.  Wow, their beaches are so big and sandy, the same cold, murky looking

English Channel but hey, you can't have everything!!!!

Anyway, over at TCB Blog, we have all been playing with products from Artemio.

I chose to decorate a wooden box with paints and papers!!

I love working with wooden items!!

More Colouring Techniques!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry, meant to post this earlier!!!

Today on The Craft Barn Blog I have a project using Paper-Soft-Color.

Many of you will remember me demoing this and it is a truly lovely

 product to work with.

It is used with sponge applicators and many find it easier than using inks.

I made a card for todays project and if you hop on over to the blog

you will see how I made it!!!

Hope you have a good weekend, is it going to stay dry?????

I doubt it!!!!

See you soon,

Almost forgot..............

You really must pop over to The Craft Barn website and take a look

 at their summer sale.....

There are lots of goodies to entice you!!!!!!

Have fun!

I do hope they get good coverage on the tv too!!!

Well, this week it is colouring techniques on The Craft Barn Blog.

All week the DT are using different products so you really must pop over and
