Here is my first play in the watercolour playground workshop. Experimenting with watercolours and how to use them. I'm not too happy with the way this has turned out as some of the colours are not to my liking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't sure what colours to buy so went for a little palette set which seemed to have a range of colours in it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I think I would have preferred to have a purple and pink in there too.</div>

I'm really enjoying doing this challenge as I can use patterned papers and embellisments that I wanted to keep because they were "too delicious" and didn't want to use them??? Is that bonkers or do you know what I mean? hahaha! But now at least this way I can use them <u>and</u> see them when I look through my notebook.<br />

This time using a dip pen and white acrylic ink.<br />
<br />
The background blocks were painted in acrylic paint and I had to wait overnight before I could use my pen on them. At first it was a little scratchy writing with the nib but I got used to it by the end of the page.<br />
<br />
I love the bright colours of the acrylics against the white of the ink. I'll definitely be using the nib again and might try it with some different colour inks but I'll have to buy them first lol.<br />

I've got seven pens from their Stardust and Souffle range that, with no amount of coaxing, will the ink come out of the pen!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrr.<br />

<br />
<br />
It is so annoying as you can see the yellow has loads of ink inside. I tried Googling the problem and have tried several suggestions ie heating the nibs with a hair dryer, shaking the pens whilst holding them in a vertical postion and writing with them slowly to encourage the ink to flow, all with no success. I stored the pens horizontally as was suggested when I bought them so that isn't the problem. <br />
<br />
So can any of you whizz brains out there give me another option to try? If not they will end up in the bin and I won't purchase them again which is a shame as there are some beautiful colours and they give a great effect.<br />

That is way way too long ago.<br />
<br />
I have been keeping up with my creativeness with two jumpers knitted and my 365 calendar journal a la <a href="http://thekathrynwheel.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kate Crane</a> is still going strong. The main reason for not being here has been Instagram lol and a new phone. It's just so easy to use and I can view it anywhere. Also my desktop computer takes ages to load and it was driving me nuts haha.<br />
<br />
Well I just signed up for a couple of great workshop run by <a href="http://daisyyellowart.com/" target="_blank">Daisy Yellow </a>and as I'm not on Facebook I wanted a bigger screen to view things on so hence starting the blog up again.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday I was pleasantly busy making cards from the coloured images I started previously. I recently bought some gorgeous glittery papers by Doodlebug and couldn't wait to use them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So first up are three Christmas cards. In the first two I used the wonderful Penny Black "Little Elf Mim" coloured in Copic Sketch markers and the sentiment is from Paper Smooches "Joyful Greetings" set.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My June pages didn't turn out quite the way I had expected.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVT2_BvahzMc6RfKsUia_4V2Fy66pB9ldIV3Ib9Uoe0jhDE4Uud_IWMezSe8X9hKZgkfTdMW6d-mcEQu-HlJ7pZ-sxUg5HCAgb4LZSxNJokgcuqzI6K19dKt3l-9m9iR38r613ZLBV6mo/s1600/DSCF0773.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVT2_BvahzMc6RfKsUia_4V2Fy66pB9ldIV3Ib9Uoe0jhDE4Uud_IWMezSe8X9hKZgkfTdMW6d-mcEQu-HlJ7pZ-sxUg5HCAgb4LZSxNJokgcuqzI6K19dKt3l-9m9iR38r613ZLBV6mo/s1600/DSCF0773.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had lots of strips of patterned papers left over from various projects and decided to stick them in my journal and then thought that I wouldn't be able to write over the more vibrantly coloured papers so I gave the whole double page spread a wash with gesso. I think it has just created a messy look but heyho I took a risk and it didn't pay off.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">July's entries were written in these neon coloured frames which I was quite pleased with, but here I think the title let these pages down, it's too stark and should have been in an orange or maybe a lime green or maybe on a coloured background rather than the bare pages.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Now I know these cards have been received I can share with you my batch of cards that I created in August for birthdays throughout the summer month.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> These three variations on a "berry" theme where stamped using "Paper Smooches Fruitastic" bought from <a href="http://www.makethedayspecial.co.uk/" target="_blank">Make the Day Special</a> one of my favourite UK shops who stock American stamps.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> This fourth card was stamped with a mixture of stamps. The sentiment is a Unity Stamp Company Phyllis Harris Every Breath stamp and the hydrangea stamps are from Basic Grey STA1669. This card I stamped using Adirondack Brights Ink Pads.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then got my kraft cards out - as I haven't used them for ages and made this one. The stamps are from the Lawn Fawn Make Lemonade set - I love the cute faces on the lemons. The tablecloth is handcut and doodled.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I read yesterday on <a href="http://www.kimdellow.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kim Dellow</a><a href="http://www.kimdellow.co.uk/" target="_blank">'s</a> blog that the secret to a great blog is <i>consistency</i> well I am trying to blog more regularly so let's see if it works.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I'd like to share a cat toy I made for my two cats, well really the young kitten (Cedric) as his Mum (Luna) doesn't really play with toys.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I found on <a href="http://efemera-ink.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">EfemeraInk's </a>blog a post from 12.6.2011 entitled "As Quiet As ..." for making a really cute mouse. Effie is a really talented crafter and has some beautiful posts and lots of inspiring ideas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided I would try and make one so I found some scraps of material that wasn't felt (Cedric ate the last felt mouse I made) and some stuffing and I came up with this.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi55Nr9_PharE_GPpy5pRuWfTJFqV8rxuBVKOVKgJ1DmdQXV7NN5vQ2XhXyeHc5246xKDJ990nNY2u_-dzNbdqIVIH6w7QBwKKKiZ4E7emt1NQbZo-u2M168BONDL8-Av_kgXPpe4F8whU/s1600/DSCF0792.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi55Nr9_PharE_GPpy5pRuWfTJFqV8rxuBVKOVKgJ1DmdQXV7NN5vQ2XhXyeHc5246xKDJ990nNY2u_-dzNbdqIVIH6w7QBwKKKiZ4E7emt1NQbZo-u2M168BONDL8-Av_kgXPpe4F8whU/s1600/DSCF0792.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A piece of cord (leftover from a clothing tag) for a tail and two woollen eyes and the mouse was finished. I'm happy to say the mouse is still in one piece but for how long? Who knows. hahaha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday I spent a very enjoyable day with my daughter at <a href="http://www.kew.org/visit-kew-gardens" target="_blank">Kew Gardens, London.</a> In all my 51 years I have never been - bad isn't it? I never realised just how huge it is.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It took us an absolute age to get there on public transport but we had the weather with us and were determined to enjoy our day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We specifically went to see the Plantasia exhibition at the Gardens which is all about "the life enhancing power of plants".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We climbed the Pagoda, all 253 steps and saw the healing giant below.</span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Took to the skies in the treetop walkway - it was quite windy and the walkway (mesh!!!) was swaying beneath us. You can see the Temperate House here but it was closed due to restoration works.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuPIS-YMvUOjZT5ngz96o6d3ILXE5tRYIn8EAQpy8IikCuOn3EKhCiyMJf8QqqPfYDa7merQkgxZLVWMK3OehXHFMG_LYt40sFDGPW4v31zphT_8xrSxsGdjTubhKqv_b0BHqgDlFWMVo/s1600/DSCF0839.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuPIS-YMvUOjZT5ngz96o6d3ILXE5tRYIn8EAQpy8IikCuOn3EKhCiyMJf8QqqPfYDa7merQkgxZLVWMK3OehXHFMG_LYt40sFDGPW4v31zphT_8xrSxsGdjTubhKqv_b0BHqgDlFWMVo/s1600/DSCF0839.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We visited the Palm House and Prince of Wales Conservatory and had a short ride on the land train "Kew Explorer" and then we ended with the Barefoot Walk where we got to feel all different kinds of textures beneath our feet - even mud! haha</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We both had a great day out and would recommend Kew as a wonderful play for anyone who wants to recharge their batteries and experience the wonder of nature.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Thought I would share two journal pages I completed over the weekend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first photo shows the background created with acrylic paint. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I never have an idea on what I'm going to do with the backgrounds so I was surprised to find that I did this.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMJbs2wchyphenhyphen4UrYkebS0Bes9clqv0Wn8P7HfG8-tF0p3ReT_QZ2UqH3yzDM9DqBQswrG2NXj7r3nilPm-FymOIiSrC55FejbgHe4SNAHaRdk3hIcuZNcMcViyzaEUvg5AzSAj3YI2xVOBU/s1600/DSCF0782.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMJbs2wchyphenhyphen4UrYkebS0Bes9clqv0Wn8P7HfG8-tF0p3ReT_QZ2UqH3yzDM9DqBQswrG2NXj7r3nilPm-FymOIiSrC55FejbgHe4SNAHaRdk3hIcuZNcMcViyzaEUvg5AzSAj3YI2xVOBU/s1600/DSCF0782.JPG" height="320" width="227" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Inspired by a prompt on Instagram for a doodle a day #sadoodleaday which was Picasso. I got my Caran D'Ache crayons out and went to town - this didn't take me long and was so much fun to do. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then over the weekend whilst watched tv I created this zentangle journal page. This did take a while. I had already painted the background in unwanted acrylic paint and doodled the mandala and the rest just grew from there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was the first photo I took this morning whilst still in my pyjamas - can you see mine and Luna's feet? haha </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Whilst catching up with my blog reading the other day I came across a challenge on the <a href="http://tando-creative-challenges.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Tando Creative Challenge Blog</a> that I thought would be fun to play around with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tando's August challenge is called Lovely Layers and the brief is to use lots of layers on your piece. So I decided to get the acrylic paints and Distress Inks out. I made a wonderful mess and my finger tips are still a little bit inky haha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoGkAFX3FQN2BCTsU_l3-KLGo7dBDLXIXuo-3eZxrtDqs6GQStVSDUX1GQ5Zt-YPxUDVuV60nCfZ1RkDr68NohW-6_-W-iZ_p_m9Q2XqanhrMjr_Dw23-Q3L8dTjq8_9t0y8LUUG-rdIc/s1600/DSCF0779.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoGkAFX3FQN2BCTsU_l3-KLGo7dBDLXIXuo-3eZxrtDqs6GQStVSDUX1GQ5Zt-YPxUDVuV60nCfZ1RkDr68NohW-6_-W-iZ_p_m9Q2XqanhrMjr_Dw23-Q3L8dTjq8_9t0y8LUUG-rdIc/s1600/DSCF0779.JPG" height="320" width="250" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had sometime ago randomly stuck numbers and other stickers to this page and that was as far as I got. So with the help of paint, DI and lots of Tando stencils this page was produced. I'm still on a learning curve where layers are concerned but it was fun practicing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also found a bag of <a href="http://www.tando-creative.co.uk/catalog/grab-stars-p-299.html" target="_blank">Tando stars</a> in my chipboard drawer and have adhered one of them to the page - can you see where?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I can't believe that it has been three months since I last wrote on my blog!!! eek that is an awfully long time. I still keep up to date with your blogs, reading and leaving comments when I can.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Crafting has been reduced to just the evenings usually with my journal in front of the telly as I've been busy with end of year stuff at work and we have also acquired two new residents at home.The new residents have been taking up lots of my time and worry. Sometimes it's like having two small children again rather than a cat and her kitten haha. They weren't allowed outside for 6 weeks and that was a very stressful time whenever someone opened the door or windows. Where are the cats???? was a constant question.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well I suppose you want to see a photo of them?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgghYBR73wfSNDhwUtZTgEQ-CIr0DaMf-edVNOJ1uVFbnoZPShyphenhyphenuapkshO6WJuuKYLp7jpi5dSbcLYVXhn8567yM_rXzF5tMe6k2c71ATh2DeQiETXvT8Qt3RVGSm4JMwC_49U1ACq316A/s1600/DSCF0683.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgghYBR73wfSNDhwUtZTgEQ-CIr0DaMf-edVNOJ1uVFbnoZPShyphenhyphenuapkshO6WJuuKYLp7jpi5dSbcLYVXhn8567yM_rXzF5tMe6k2c71ATh2DeQiETXvT8Qt3RVGSm4JMwC_49U1ACq316A/s1600/DSCF0683.JPG" height="217" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is Cedric and he is only 4 months old and doesn't he look like he is smiling in this photo? haha</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And this is Cedric's Mum Luna and she is a 19 months old and only had the one kitten. Sitting in a box - one of her favourite things to do.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Luna's name was chosen first as we wanted something to reflect her white coat. But then it was time to think of a name for her kitten and we just couldn't all agree on one that we liked relating to the stars and solar system or the colour white. So we went down the Harry Potter route and chose a name to match Luna and Cedric Diggory seemed to be the only name we could all agree on, haha we decided to drop the Diggory as it was a mouthful to call out in the garden and at the vets!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've also been making cards as the Summer months birthdays come thick and fast and here are a few of the ones that have gone out already.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've finished my pages for my May 365 Calendar a la <a href="http://thekathrynwheel.blogspot.co.uk/p/my-art-journal.html" target="_blank">Kate Crane</a>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was going to leave it just with the rainbow Distress Ink and a few splashes but thought that was a little boring and plain even when the patterned squares were added.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So I then went a little mad with the stamps in my stamp box and added some doodling and then added the patterned squares all from my bits and pieces box -hence the "messy squares and the hands".</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Now I know it is National Scrapbooking Day but I haven't got anything crafty to share with you today. Instead I want to tell you what I got up to this morning, at 6.30 am to be precise. I finally got to have my balloon trip! yippee, hooray, weeeeeeeeee and all the other happy words you can think of. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was an early start and with a cold coming on I wasn't feeling very bright. But after waiting and being disappointed for four years and 13 attempts I was not going to let anything come in the way of me taking to the skies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The field was covered in a heavy frost and my boots soon got very wet and icy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We helped prepare the balloon ready for flight and after a quick briefing we took to the air. Sixteen passengers and our pilot, Gavin rose majestically into the sky and we were off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I left my husband on the ground waving me off and very quickly he got smaller and smaller hahaha. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was so quiet during the flight (apart from the occasional radio transmissions and chatter from the passengers) and it didn't feel like we were moving at all. We glided over the Hertfordshire countryside seeing the morning unfold below us whilst the wildlife scattered when then heard the burners fire up.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last weekend I had a fabulous time with my family in Edinburgh. We flew up on Friday night and came back on Sunday night. It was a very busy couple of days but we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were all tired yesterday but it was worth it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our trip was made extra special by meeting up with my good friend <a href="http://farmersgirl.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Janice</a> who I haven't seen for about three years. It was great to have a laugh and catch up with her and she was kind enough to acted as our own personal tour guide. I managed to persuaded her to climb Scott Monument with me and my son. No wonder our legs ached!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Visiting my favourite blogs the other day I stopped at <a href="http://kazscraftbits.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kaz's Slightly Wonky Crafts</a> and was inspired by her card to make one similar of my own.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdRV7yKmDKLOFDd7d29onoADZUL5loaWcSjCL632kOtYNgh4Z3OjVBQtzuOPOyqDSRTBjkakAerQuQfQ-xDZhLkrgmodvZ0AzUknVGtbpHhf5tIuLVJM1HsMOa6VSlBV4w4W9D6i9pDC0/s1600/DSCF0578.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdRV7yKmDKLOFDd7d29onoADZUL5loaWcSjCL632kOtYNgh4Z3OjVBQtzuOPOyqDSRTBjkakAerQuQfQ-xDZhLkrgmodvZ0AzUknVGtbpHhf5tIuLVJM1HsMOa6VSlBV4w4W9D6i9pDC0/s1600/DSCF0578.JPG" height="320" width="239" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kaz has made her card for Tando with an accompanying video which is a great way to learn a new technique and that is just what I did for this card. Using the Tando mask and some Distress Ink worked through the holes. I think it gives a great effect with the circles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The stamp is a Gorjuss Girl one and the sentiment is cut from a piece of Scenic Route paper and a little doodling to finish it off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">I thought I would use some of my holiday time re stocking my card box as it seems to have run low on premade cards.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I saw the Pink and Green challenge over on <a href="http://totallygorjuss.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Totally Gorjuss </a>at the beginning of March (I've only just got round to making the card haha) and knew which girl I wanted to use and here she is.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Thought I would post a card I made in a bit of a hurry yesterday. I had forget that when I use all my reserve cards in the box that it needs restocking again!! ooops</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So this image is a Gorjuss girl stamp coloured with Copic Sketch Markers placed on some Elsie patterned paper I've had for years and years. The Tim Holtz sentiment was embossed onto card, distressed with an ink pad and placed onto the patterned paper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">et voila a very quick card.</span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to do <a href="http://thekathrynwheel.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kate's challenge</a> again as I enjoyed doing it in 2010 and have completed January and February already.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For March I thought I would do something a little different and have decided to do a zentangle doodle each day that way I will see what patterns have influenced me each day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't it annoying when you are nearing the end of a project (doesn't matter what type it is) and you run out of a material you are using? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Wow February is nearly over and this is only my third blog post this year. My knitting seems to have taken over my creativity recently, well it keeps me warm and cosy sitting on the sofa wrapped up in wool. lol</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But tonight I had to create a card for a family birthday tomorrow so I went and sat at my desk and created this card.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The patterned paper is one I have had for years and recently found in my craft stash (I think it is by Elsie). The image was one I received in a stamped image swap many moons ago too and was saving for someone special. The three strips of washi tape are a recent purchase from Paperchase.</span></div>
