Snow time is crafting time

Hi Everybody!

Time flies by so quickly - I have the feeling that I just

finished writing my last blog, and here I am 

already writing the next one.

We got a shitload of snow dropped on

us in the night, although 2 days back they promised

 that today would be warm and springlike - anyhow, the

experts are predicting the change now at the

beginning of the new week, so let's hope

they soon get things right!

I made this pair of 10"tags yesterday, using various bits and bobs from

my messy table and also a few more things that were in

the wonderful goodie-box from Gill.

I made a really messy background, recycling the rest of

the cardboard from my knee-socks - for 1 pair of socks I got 3 pieces

of cardboard, 2 plastic clips and a plastic bag, which is resealable. I used lots of gesso, brushos, sprays,  EPs, fibres and bits and bobs which I pasted on:

The face is made using a stencil from Dina Wakley, 

the bird, cage, flowers and diaphanous 

white material for the dress from Gill - thanks Sweetie! 

The words were stamped with a cheap set of sentiments,

 No-Name from the 1€ shop for 20 stamps. 

I did lots of sewing to put it together.

I am  linking to Stamps and stencils, texture, crackle

and paint, and to Simon Monday Challenge, young at heart; and to More Mixed Media, anything goes, optional red; and to 

Allsorts Challenge, hearts and/or flowers.

And as the colours fit so well for Linda's lovely challenge

 '50 shades of red' at AJJ, I placed them in my journal

and made them into a journal spread.

And you might not believe this, but I cleared up my table -

well, a bit anyway:

I enjoyed sitting at my table crafting and enjoying the

aroma of a marble cake baking in the oven - yummy!

I stayed home today as I don't want to fall over again

and kiss the ground, I just took the pics from my

balcony!

My cactus is covered in snow:

 I threw out a few hand-fulls of bird food, they found it:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
