About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm a lapsed crafter of late but still managing my diary Scrapbooking, plus cards as required. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Art Journaling, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband and son. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing, not really got back to the latter since the pandemic. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I am a Christian.

An Attitude of Gratitude #04

 Today for the Gratitude Journal technique we were asked to stamp with an embossing folder. This was completely new to me, never even thought of doing it before.

Our scripture was about time and the only appropriate folder I have is the Darice cogs one. I practiced once and was thrilled with the result so I stamped the positive top right and the negative bottom left. I also happened to have a stamp of the scripture so used that too.


I used some green paint with a Tesco card to cover the pages initially and pearlescent pink to cover the number dies. I even had a go with my new white pen which seems to work nicely.

I added some Crushed Olive and Walnut Stain Distress Inks aswell.
