Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge #25

Our challenge this fortnight was to use three colours or more from the same colour family with the side twist of using gingham or checks. I cut strips of cardstock in varying widths in Perfect Plum, Pale Plum and Blush Blossom from the Soft Subtles family and wove a “backdrop” which I framed in Blush […]

Tiny Tags, Fox & Friends, Sanded

Okay, after getting that off my chest back to craft! This is a quickie as I have to head back to Runways End where there’s a scrapbook weekend retreat. Bottled out of staying overnight on a camp bed and came home to sleep as it’s so close. This is the swap I made for the […]
