Back to Blogging

Once again, it's been some time since I last posted. For some reason, I found it pretty impossible to get any crafting done over the summer holidays, let alone blogging.  But, the girls have been back at school now for a couple of weeks, and I'm slowly getting back into a routine of sorts (not helped by sick children, sick dog and training for a half marathon - yikes!).  I've made a few cards, I'm working on some layouts, and I've also just finished a crochet scarf, and will share all these over the next wee while :)

First off, a card!


I've been following the Make-It-Monday Challenges over on Nichole Heady's blog for some time, but never got round to joining in.  This week, the challenge was to use colouring pencils!  Now, I don't have any Prismacolor pencils or odourless mineral spirits, but I do have watercolour pencils!!  And I love using them!  So I had a look through my PTI sets and picked out Up, Up & Away and some pencils in rainbow colours.  Enjoyed some pleasant colouring and a wee while later, had assembled my card.  Hope you enjoy, thanks for stopping by!
