Live Life in Full Bloom

 Morning and it's time for the midway "ATG/Summer Flowers"challenge reminder at

 Stamping Sensations.

I stamped the large flowers from an  AALL&Create set in distress ink onto watercolour card, then used water to spread the ink and some little added detail with Faber-Castell polychromos pencils.The stamped sentiment is from another AALL&Create set,little wooden Bee and die-cut cat from stash,randomly added to cover some marks lol.Distress ink round the edges and matted onto kraft card.

Missing Blogger

 Morning -I received a message from LEE of the blog--My Cornish Crafty Corner yesterday asking if I would post a message from her----

Hello. Just thought I would update you as regards to my blog. Well,I seem to have got myself into a pickle. For some reason I can’t sign in. If I go on to blogger it just says create new blog. Also it’s been so long since I even had to do this. I can’t remember email and password. I did try and create a new blog, but blow me I got on it but can’t post anymore on it so I’ve deleted it. I will just have to use Facebook

Loaded pocket

 I made a loaded pocket usuing a tutorial from Pinkys World Projects.

Mine is not as pretty as hers as I don't have the right kind of beautiful die and papers.

I used offcuts of paper left out of a pad from The Works,die cut from Spellbinders,paper punch from Martha Stewart.I found the stamped flower which I layed the centreand the butterfly in an oddments box,and the stamped sentiment was a craft mag freebie but I believe it's from IndigoBlu,the die cut leaves were from a prize I won on Pinkys FB page, a die set/ a stamp set and a set of stamp sentiments.I put a chocolate bar and satchet of coffee in the back pocket and some notelets in the front pocket.
