I’m so late in posting this but seriously there aren’t enough days in the week at the moment. It’s been a couple of weeks now since I got back from Stitches trade show in the UK. It was an absolutely amazing time because this year I actually had my very own little part of the NEC which was all mine.

Well I’m feeling a bit ashamed of myself for missing a week of blogging but it’s been quite full on some good, some bad and some amazing.

I put a few flowers on the page to finish it off and all the while I was drawing them I had Lazy Daisy going round on a loop in my head.
I’d like to know if you’ve created a page with hand writing on it somewhere. It might be the title or the background, where ever you feel comfortable adding it.
Have a good week and stay warm

A couple of people had asked me if I would show how to use the Mega Flakes from IndigoBlue which I have in the shop so I thought it would be a good idea to do it as a video.
This is the card I ended up making along with a couple of other projects.
You can watch the video here,
I hope you find it useful.
You can find the Indigoblu products in the shop here, under stamping accessories
I’ll be back tomorrow with another journal page
