Welcome to my blog!

From x stitch I moved into card making - now I am playing around with mixed media! I am taking part in different workshops and with help from crafty pals, learning about different mediums and techniques. Hope you feel inspired to create after a visit to my blog - Happy Crafting!

Pretty little buttons

all  in a row...




Well it's Sketchie day over on Craft Bubble in the CMLI group and thie week has been set by none other than our very own Purple Princess. There is a sketch to follow and the theme is Monochromatic and Masculine....wow there's a toughie!! I already used up my good ideas for this on my ff card earlier this week!

Anyway after racking my brain, whilst in the shower I had an epiphany! I think it was looking at the shower curtain that did it!
