Its blog hop time again and your chance to win one of two $5 credits for Mo's Digital Pencil too...so don't forget your comments on our DT's blogs along the way...our host this month is Danielle and her theme is Distressing

You should have landed on my blog from Mina if not then start at the beginning so you don’t miss anyone.

I want no puns that this will be me in a few years time but I did however feel myself drawn to this image because of the bicycle.

Mummu’s Bike from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I took distressing to the max using blending techniques with Pan Pastels, embossing, tearing, rolling, fraying etc…

I know what you are thinking, that could be my backside and yes after the Christmas snacking I have to get right back on my bike to work it off again ha ha!

I used Copics and Chalks to colour the image, papers from the Good life Scrapbook pad some gems, Pan Pastels, embossing folder from Crafters Companion amongst other bits and pieces.

Next up is Gretha and she will have something pretty amazing to show you.

Dont forget to leave comments on the blogs you visit for a chance of a $5 store credit

No wish to craft

I don’t know what happened, I made my last card on 26th December, I had previously coloured the image days before, I started the mammoth task of tidying my craft room and everything just left me, it’s still not complete, I just couldn't face crafting, I felt down in the mouth and damn well lost.

Not knowing what to do on an evening, bored with television but just could not face getting any craft out, not even wanting to colour which I adore doing.

I contemplated just giving up, I felt quite depressed at the thought of messing the house up again as no matter how I try, it over spills into all of the rooms, Chris kept encouraging me to get my pens out but I just couldn’t face it.

Over the last 3 or 4 days I felt utterly depressed, deep, deep sighs, wanting to go to bed constantly tired.

Last night I forced myself to stay up later and get out my pens, I sat in the near darkness and started to colour, one image finished, move onto the next, move onto the third one, before I new it I had 3 images coloured, I put all of the pens away again cleared the table and looked at what I had achieved.

I’m hoping today to move onto the next stage of turning them into cards. Baby steps is needed here.

Thank you all my crafty friends for sticking with me and popping in to see if I have created anything to show you all.

This is the colourings I did last night.

Wish me luck in making cards today xxx
