Mid week blog

Hiya everyone,

Nothing much to tell so far this week to be honest. Went back to work on Monday after being off ill las week but to be honest I am absolutely shattered. Slept for a while this afternoon so got no crafting done :(

The only crafty things I have done the past few days have been for the Craftymess Daily Challenge on FB. Yesterday was a black and white theme so I did a 12 x 12 scrapbook page of my younger daughter and her piano. I was quite hard I thought to do this monochromatic page, I think I instintively want to put another colour in the mix to make things pop when scrapbooking so although I got it done quite quickly I cant say I am that pleased with it :S but I guess everyone is more critical of their own work.
 
 
Another day the challenge theme was handmade flowers so I drew a Tim Holtz type tattered florals kinda flower and cut a few out of G45 paper that I had. Then I wet the flower shapes, scrunched them then dried them out so they go textured. I made a wire and lace leaf for a change too.
 


I am waiting to find out if tomorrows challenge will inspire me to get crafty as I aint been in the mood today at all :(

Anyway I will sign off tonight, have a great evening all.
