Look deep into nature

Hello everyone
I hope you are all keeping well. Last weekend, needing some impetus to get creative for an afternoon, I dipped into an online tutorial with Carpe Occasio Creative Arts on Facebook. I started off following but of course soon went off in my own direction. But then that's what it's all about isn't it?

Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better.

I'm still working on the lettering :-)

Take care and have a lovely week xxx

Snarky cat returns

Hello
Hope you are all keeping well and getting through the challenges of a restricted lifestyle. I've lost my energy and creative mojo this week, but I know that's fine and normal and it will be back.

Here are some cards I made last weekend with the fabulous snarky cat stamps. I went with warm colours this time. You can see my first batch here and a link to the method I used here in one of my old Craft Barn posts.

I'm off to find my mojo. Thank you for taking time to stop by. Take care xxx

Tag me

Hello
Hope you are all keeping safe, well and occupied. A super quick one now that I'm back at work. Yesterday's prompt for the #craftingwithgiogio challenge was tags. I thought I would do something quickly with scraps I already had but it still seemed to take ages. Then the light was too poor to photograph it...and then it was too bright...anyway here goes.

People are interpreting the challenges in amazing ways so do take a look if you fancy some crafty inspiration.

Take care everyone and thank you for stopping by xxx

Faith in humanity

Hello
Hope you are all bearing up wherever you are in the world in these very strange times. I'm sure like everyone, I've had my ups and downs, but crafting really is a great distraction.

I've been continuing to try new things as the novelty, and the extra concentration it takes, really make time pass quickly. I tried Dina Wakley's faces tutorial but I'm not ready to share those just yet!

So here is this week's attempt at journalling with a quotation from Mahatma Gandhi.

 You must not lose faith in humanity. 

Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty

the ocean does not become dirty.

Mahatma Gandhi

Deciding I needed a few tips I've ordered myself a magazine on lettering and some pens.

I'm off now to reconnect with some blogs that I had lost touch with. Take care and thank you for stopping by xxx
