Summer Is On It's Way !!!!

Summer Is On It's Way is the title of this post ...well we can only hope so, must say it's been extremely windy here on the East Coast since the start of June so fingers crossed it will soon become a 'flaming' June ..... was pointed in the direction of a lovely challenge incorporation summer as it's theme .... summer = fun to me ... and lazy days (off) doing nothing except watching the world go by ...and this includes the bugs ..they're always busy busy busy ..fascinating little critters ..so here's my make for the challenge over at The Artistic Stamper a 6"x4" canvas.

I've used Brusho's, stencil with texture paste and lots of stamping (bug stamps are from The Artistic Stamper)..... hope you like it !

WIP of the week !

I found this tatty old box in the Crafty Cave (think it had candles in orginally) ...have been meaning to do something with it for a while ...as I was sat looking out to sea yesterday (yes I now live by the coast) there were a plethora of butterflies milling round ....so they inspired me to start on this project !

Tatty old box

a Plethora of butterflies !

AWOL ...no more !

Yes I've been AWOL for a very long time from this blog.... many things have happened in the time I've been gone and I've had a complete change of lifestyle but I've still been phaffing in The (new) Crafty Cave so I thought I'd just share a few projects that I've worked on.... hope you all like them...and hopefully I shall get to grips with blogland again !
