I know its been a while since I last blogged and I wish I could say I have been holidaying at an exotic island, soaking up the sun, relaxing under some palm trees...lol!! but no...just school holidays....I will say no more!! Actually we have been away most of the time, camping at a secluded beach near Mackay over Easter with a bunch of lovely friends and then headed south in the second week for my Grandad's 90th birthday. I think we did over 30 hours driving over the 2 weeks and I would be happy not to be back in the car for long trip for a good while...!!!
Anyway I am late posting this up because the month is nearly over....gasp!!....but I thought I would share it anyway.
This months challenge at SCRAP FOR HELP is to use BUTTONS on your project. This month I decided to create a little something to add to my craft area. It is really something I need to do more at these days....BREATHE....!!! My hubby works incredibly long days, with shift work thrown in there every now and then and sometimes I find myself overwhelmed with all that I have to do on my own. I know that I am not the only one that is in this situation so I am sure you will understand how important it is to be reminded to BREATHE and enjoy life!! :)))))
I decided to to a bit of a mixed media project. Lots of layers of gesso, TA mist & glaze, Shimmerz products. Had a lot of fun doing something different. This is made on some Prima packaging and the little lady is from Glitz.
An older Heidi Swapp verb sticker and some cute little Prima flowers added in for some colour.
That's it for tonight, I will be back in a couple of days with some more :))
