About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

SSS&S - Summer Distress

Over at Simon Says Stamp and Show they are looking at the Summer Distress colours and as I LOVE these colours I just had to have a go. When I received my set back in June I made the little ATC sampler of the colours so I have now made a bigger tag version with added stamping with TH stamps to show off the colours even more. Then the funny thing was I was brushing my teeth and saw that our family toothbrushes are in the same Summer Distress colours too! Having a husband and son, guess which one is mine!

Love your tag, BJ. Those colours are beautiful and I like the way they are blended and show the wood texture of the ground. They do bring summer to mind. And now we can take a guess at where TH got his inspiration for this colour collection from - his family toothbrushes perhaps :) Elizabeth x

Having seen your tag in real life AND being inspired by (subconsciously!) I know that it is gorgeous and the colours sing. You've certainly made me look at these colours with a new eye - I had to mix them up a bit of course and add some grunge because it wouldn't be my work without that!! Like the addition of the beads.
