Hello Peeps, hope you are all well.
First I must thank you for all your lovely words and kind messages about my shoulder........... it's still a pain in the rear holding me up, but I think I will have a unique new project to show you......it's not quite ready yet but I reckon it just might be a first........an altered art sling...........it's taking on a nice colour with plenty of distressing round the edges where I lean on my craft desk so my fingers can get crafty......amazing what you can achieve it the will is strong enough. But seriously, I am keeping the typing to a minimum because the necessary position hurts too much.
So just a couple of shares, the first using another new one from Hero Arts CG273 which I stamped with versafine back and embossed with detail clear, then masked and stamped Art Impression P2975 Cityscape. Then some sponging and stamped leaves and path also Art Impression stamps, flowers made with organize ribbon and Hero Arts S5449 Fabulous Flourish stamped onto the DP which is from stash. This is for the following challenges:
Simon Says - Sketch
Fresh Brewed - Black white plus one (green)
Moving Along with the Times - Make your dreams come true (NY is one of the places I have never been but always wanted to so this is my dream today)
My second share uses My Minds Eye DP's, nesties hearts and Penny Black 4-23K Love is in the Message stamped with Memento Lady Bug. Flowers, punched butterflies and Penny Black 3322D I Love You for the sentiment. This is for the following challenges:Flutterby Wednesdays - Sketch and wings
Old but a Goodie - Bright and cheerful
Scrapbook Sisters - Hearts desire

Oh Brenda,what have you been up to......
I haven't had much time to call by lately,need to get back into the swing. I love the colours of both of your cards,they are so unusual,the flowers you've created on the first one are soft yet stricking and the hearts are so beautifully created in their layers. Thanks also for joining this weeks challenge at Scrapbooksisters. Rest that arm up,hope it's soon recovered,Julie.x
oh wow Brenda - 2 more fba card s.. and i am pushed to pick my fave .. but think the elegance of the first one and the skyline - just does it for me.
Look forward to seeing a pic of the sling lol.. do you think the NHS might catch on to that idea ?
Probably too costly lol

Your shoulder still giving you gyp? Have you been to GP? You make me giggle at the thought of your sling being dipped in inks and glue and becoming a work of art! Your cards are as gorgeous as ever but maybe you need to spend some time propping up the bar at 'The Crafters Arms' and relaxing.Good luck with your challenges, hugs, Hazelx
