Grunge Roses and Art Journalling

Hello all my lovely blogging buddies. I hope your week has gone well. Is it really Friday again. I thought the weeks during the Summer holidays might go a bit slower with different routines but this week has gone faster than ever. It's certainly been a full one though.

We've had some friends visiting from Ludlow which has been lovely. It's always a treat to catch up.
DD and I went shopping on Tuesday to a M&S superstore nearby to get some new school uniform and had a wonderful time trying on all the fancy hats and just about every pair of sunglasses in the place. We did mange to get what we went for too!!

On Wednesday we tried our hand at Art Journalling with the very talented Michelle and Janet at The Stampman in Skipton. It was a chance for Mums and their offspring to create together and learn something new, well for us anyway. We had a great time painting, inking and spritzing and the time flew by.

This is what we came home with, although I will play with mine a bit more I think.

This is Mine


and this is DD's.


I have also been having a play with grunge roses after seeing them done by the very talented Jo. She turned hers into Handbag bling which really caught my eye so I decided to have a go. This is how mine turned out and I love wearing it on my very tatty handbag. The beads jingle nicely.


Frankie has chosen paper roses as her theme for the TIO challenge this week so I shall enter it into this. The grunge roses are twisted and then I sprayed mine with lime and copper cosmic shimmer spray. There's an excellent tutorial for them by Lynne Forsythe if you want to have a go.

Thanks for stopping by and you hope you all have a really wonderful weekend. We are going to a Wedding so I hope the weather behaves itself.
