Card Kit Project

My daughter had offered to do something for the local Guides and decided on the idea of making some cards and then making up kits of everything needed to make the cards so the guides could make cards to take home.

Before she could get going with the project she had an operation on her arm and I went up to Cumbria to look after her. Her craft room is like a shop with so much to chose from both for card making and, her passion now, patchwork. Most afternoons she was in bed asleep after taking strong painkillers so I decided I would do the project for her. The cards are in her style and each card has the same number of elements and everything is cut to size for the guides 'card kits'. They have their own scissors and glue which is good lol.










I hope the guides enjoy their session of card making. It kept me quiet for many hours making the kits

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
