Journal Cover
I have been researching Bullet Journaling for the past few months, making it difficult for myself because I had to make it mine! This weekend I made a cover for my journal. So here is the cover and some of the process. I will share more of the inside soon.
The paint is great for loads of different surfaces and has a lustre sheen I used the Atlantic Blue Lustre and the Turquoise Wave Shimmer, and of course Sparkle Star.
While stitching it all together I added some more elastic to use as a closer.
My workshops will start again in February and if you have anything that you would like me to do let me know. I think that Journals and books may feature! Thanks for visiting see you soon.

Crafting to find YOU
I have been at the trade show in Birmingham, while I was there I listened to a very frank talk by James McIntosh, about how knitting had saved his life.
The Gaurdian had a article recently about how sewing can help with depression.
I have taken courses in the USA and Holland in Zentangle developed by a lovely couple as a form of meditation.

But anyone who does any crafting will tell you that it doesn’t matter which craft you choose or if you do more than one craft the process is the important part. I also think that workshops are a great way to meet people and build friendships with like minded people.
So make time for you and get crafting! but don’t expect to save money, but you are worth it!

Black and White Lace
Just in time for a last minute Valentine card what about this black and white lace, nice change from red.
This card was made as a sample for my test workshop last month. The stamps sets are from Woodware (ADS108 and ADS515).
I used this sketch as a starting point
The card is A4 folded in half so a nice big card.
I cut a black panel and then rounded the corners.
For the second panel I stamped the lace background stamps twice, if you look closely you can see the join.
But the join is hidden by the top panel. For the greeting I used the same ink but it was a second print from the stamp so it is grey, I like the tone on tone effect that it gives.
Here are the stamps

Hello, I am back!
I have had a very quite crafting time for the past few months. I in the autumn I went to a quilting class locally and had fun, so I made a quilt on my own using the same method as I had learnt.
All made from fabric that I had in my stash!
I do like the strip method, but I suppose I should try something else.
But then I have been cheating…
I have made four seat pads that have been stamped and then stitched with a zigzag to make them look quilted. There are great for extra seating or taking outside to add to garden chairs and can just be thrown in the washing machine.
Happy Easter

Woodware – Thank You – take 2
This week on Woodware Witterings we are saying Thank You
and for this card I have used the Francoise Collection Distressed Thank You Background.
First I stamped on the Woodware Mixed Media card, it is a nice large stamp.
then I pressed Crafter’s ink pads in Sweet Pea, Blue Berry. and Aruba oon to my hot stuff mat. I used a water brush to pick up the ink and coloured all over with the various colours.
when the card was dry I wrapped some 15mm organza ribbon around it.
I just knotted some extra ribbon at the join.
The layered it on to some dark card.
I mounted it all on to a gate fold card, made from a piece of Mixed Media card cut down to A5 and the scored on the Groovy Board.
Thanks for visiting, and don’t forget to check out what the rest of the Woodware Witterings team has been up to!
