Its been a long time blogging! Art Deco by Docrafts!

Hello Crafter's :-)
Well its been a while folks since i actually made a complete card or even blogged hasn't it? I'm sure we have all been in a place on life's journey where we feel demotivated and down and just cant seem to pick up the path we once was following due to changes in circumstances beyond our control! To say i have been in that place this year is an understatement and to the people that have tolerated me and listened  i truly thank you  for your continuous support, i haven't been the easiest person to tolerate !!!.
Now its time for me to learn from that journey, dust myself down and start anew and get back in control and what better way than to take myself off into my little craft room (ooooh its was still untidy!!! lol) and make a card, tonight i feel like i have found my mojo that was lost for quite a while and to those that have walked that life path never give up there is always a corner to turn on that pathway :))

I have used Docrafts Art Deco  decoupage kit to create this card if you haven't already purchased this range then go on  treat yourself, its not an expensive kit and you can create beautiful cards in no time at all and they look so elegant! and best of all its such fun and a change from making the Christmas cards he he he ;)) ...Have fun crafting folks!

8th July at Studio 12 ; scrapbook page

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting in Studio 12, I have had so much fun using elements from Heavenly  Garden Digital images for my scrapbook page layout, i have cut into the design paper and tucked the checked design paper behind it, this allows to put journalling notes behind it also, i took the design papers into serif to change the tones, This is my daughters west highland terrier which i'm afraid to say failed his lesson in retrieving the mail when the postman has been!! i do hope your all having fun with this fabulous cd from Studio 12!!
