Believe

Good morning, I'm keeping it short and sweet today as I've two DT makes to share and a busy day ahead! It's Emily's birthday tomorrow and we've a family party arranged today- can't be tomorrow as she has another party to go to- oh for the social life of an eight year old! This fortnight at Sweet Stampin' the challenge is to use bookprint, music or maps on your creation. For me, a no-brainer as books are so important in my life! I decided to create a journal page for a change and this is what I came up with- torn book page, digital image I've had for years, coloured with Copics, I think it's Crafts and Me-sadly  long gone! Inks, stencil and some Lavinia stamps and a die cut to try to disguise the messy stamping in the top right hand corner!  Apart from the bodged stamping I like the way it came out! Please take a look at the challenge blog to see what the rest of the Sweeties have made, some brilliant ideas HERE

I'll be back very soon!

SO beautiful Chris! Way too long since I've been able to pop in, I've missed so many beautiful makes! I have scrolled back and drunk in all the beauty though! This is a stunner. I love the two tone sentiment and your stamping of that magical world is so beautiful. LOVE the newsprint background, that is so perfect! Gorgeousness in every detail hun. Hugs, Wends xoxo
