We're nearly there ........

Happy Thursday .......

How's your week going ....... fast if it's anything like mine!

It's been busy in the craft room ...... I'm trying to get ahead with all my DT stuff as we've got a crazy few weeks coming up.  Would you believe our next free weekend is the beginning of November!!!  Hubby's away this weekend, then we're away on holiday next weekend.  We're back on the island for a few days then we're off to the UK for another weekend. 
Then it's workshop weekend .......that's going to be a busy one.  And then hubby's off to Blackpool for a weekend for a Poker Tournament.  It's all go around here!

Speaking of workshops, here's a little look at the last one.
We used Lavinia stamps to create beautiful moonlight scenes, in Autumn and winter shades. 


Easy scene building using masks with Distress Inks and Oxides ......



Pretty Lavinia fairies .....




Trees and foliage, and simple embellishments .....




We also went a little bit festive with the gorgeous Sweet Poppy Poinsettia stencil ....


Distress inks and oxides again, a little bit of the gesso resist technique, and LOTS of glitter


And of course a touch of my favourite festive product .... chunky white embossing powder


Another popular colour way was a green and gold version ......


Gold ink through the stencil on a delicate Distress Ink background and then covered with glitter


We were all a little bit sparkly by the end of the afternoon!

There's just three pages left to complete and  now, and we're doing them all next month! 
Not sure what's going on them yet but I'm sure I'll figure it out ...... suggestions on a postcard please!

Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day.
You can also find me on the Uniko Blog today with a little bit of DT Inspiration.  That's on a festive theme too.  Simple Christmas card ideas using stencils, pastes and different finishes.


Right back to the craft room ..... it's magazine stuff today.
Cheerio until next time .......

Fabulous calendar pages Linda. LOVE the ones with the fall and late winter scenes using Lavinia fairies. Those pearl trees are AWESOME! Your December pages are gorgeous with all the sparkle and shine. This looks like such a fun project!!

Your schedule is crazy busy, my friend! I don't know how you keep it all straight! xx
