Reflect, celebrate and look forward


Morning Peeps, it's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts, our host this week is  Lynn who would like to see 'Bows' on our work. This weeks winner will receive some lovely ribbons from Crafty Ribbons.

I'm not sure I actually like this one which I made quite some time ago as the colours seem a bit too intense for this time of year, but the Penny Black sentiment seems rather appropriate for the World we are currently living in so decided to go with it. The PB floral image was inked with Distress Markers and some soft stencilling added along with an organza bow.

Stay safe and well everyone.

  30. Hi Brenda thank you so much for your lovely comment welcoming me back into blogland, I too have thought about you and others over the last several months and it feels lovely to be back among you again. I agree that these times are not good and I think there are many that are feeling the same but fortunately I have found that crafting has brought me an outlet I honestly didn't think that I would start crafting again, most of my time is taken up looking after my mum and brother making sure that they are ok, Zacky is growing up so fast and it is upsetting that I am unable to be part of his life at the moment.

    Brenda I think you are wrong about the colours of your card they are absolutely beautiful we need this wonderful vibrancy it makes you feel good, the sentiment is also perfect, I love it.

    Keep safe
    Hugs
