For this one I used a Tag base I had created at a show as a demonstration and finished it off.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKo_40AUTHnIpAAP6BHJP3wBpbgMWseW09UI3lbME5c04__D7qB0c354JkcJRQigbcLNMNrTB1lm5AYH7Jk9mt9HcjzVq6hw6CpZAIq8AM7-A4eJzoXBOz9Nzajk6tJhOzER15Qb1nYIM/s1600/DSC_0231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1100" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKo_40AUTHnIpAAP6BHJP3wBpbgMWseW09UI3lbME5c04__D7qB0c354JkcJRQigbcLNMNrTB1lm5AYH7Jk9mt9HcjzVq6hw6CpZAIq8AM7-A4eJzoXBOz9Nzajk6tJhOzER15Qb1nYIM/s320/DSC_0231.JPG" width="219" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To create the Tag I started with a manilla tag and added blobs of fossilised amber, cracked pistachio and peeled paint Distress Oxide until the tag was covered. Then using the Dotties stamp I spritzed it with water and stamped it over the tag, and blotted off the water with kitchen roll.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next using the same three colours stamp Dotties all over the tag.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using forest moss I stamped the Chicken wire stamp twice doen the left hand side an once on the right. I then cleaned then spritzed my stamp and stamped just off of the already stamped Chicken wire to create a shadown effect. Finally I added some walnut stain Distress Oxide around the edge.</span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then using Watering Can Archival ink I stamped the large Spring Flowers 2 in the bottom corner and then stamped in in Shadow Grey to create some depth.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I then stamped the sentiment in Black Archival.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To highlight the stamped image I used a white Gelly Roll Pen, I also highlighted the sentiment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To finish off the tag I added black ribbon around the base and to the top.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then using the Splat stamp, spritz the stamp with water then stamp onto the tag and remove the excess water with kitchen roll, to create a faux bleaching effect. Do this randomly over the tag.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I cut a piece of black card just slightly bigger than the sentiment then arranged the sentiment and flowers onto my tag.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I though the tag looked a little odd so added a couple of the small sketch lines to balance it, I stamped these in Vintage Sepia Versafine.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To finish off my tag I found some lovely yellow ribbon and distressed it using Distress Oxides and tied it to my Tag, and attached Gus using Foam tape, I then added some Glossy Accents to Gus's spots and warts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up choose three Distress Oxides colours, I used fosslised amber, cracked pistachio and peacock feathers. I covered my tag in these colours</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next using Versafine - Vintage Sepia stamp parts of the Coffee Stain stamp over the stag I used the first and second generation ink for this to get more depth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Onto a spare piece of card I stamp Dennis Dragonfly in black Versafine and dried using the heat gun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then using different Distress Oxides I painted Dennis and added some dots using the Mini Dots Stamp, when he was dry I added some doodles using my white Gelly Roll Pen. And cut then out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Onto the tag I stamped the BULB Stand Out saying but it wouldn't fit as is so I inked up the first part in Versafine black and stamped that in one space cleaned it then inked up the rest and stamped that. I also placed a piece of scrap paper under the part of the stamp I wasn't stamping so it didn't mark my work.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">today we are going to go dark and grungy with our textures, but don't worry there is light! Now if you are wanting to go grungy there is only one TEXTURE Stamp to call on and that's the Distressed Panel, this stamp is great for breaking up those blank spaces (like the lovely Dotties) BUT it is more angular and solid so you get a much more industrial look. I get too excited talking about our texture stamps I know!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway today we are going to make this fab fellow....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this one I used a Kraft tag as I wanted the dark grungy look and as I was apply Distress Oxides the colour would still show. I also chose some grungy colours, notice how I have the old paper in there yes its a light colour but it isn't a bright colour. And distressed my tag, all over with the old paper, then concentrated the tea dye and iced spruce around the edges.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I popped this to one side until I had sorted the bulb. Next I stamped the Bulb in Versafine black onto some white card and cut this out (initially I left a small bordered but later I decided to cut it away!). Over the base of the bulb I applied some gold sparkle pen.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now for the next part its important to prepare and the key to all of this is protecting your stamp! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Now a lot of people say you can't do this technique using a "clear stamp", but there are many different types of "clear stamp", for example the really soft squishy stamps, are generally made from Acrylic DO NOT do this technique with them, it will melt, BUT any good quality Photopolymer stamp (like ours!) these are the stamps that yellow in sunlight, are slightly tacky to touch, smell and are generally very hard wearing, will be fine as these use some of the high quality Photopolymer on the market!</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cover the Cracked stamp in Versafine - Vintage Sepia and place to one side.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Quickly ink all over the bulb in clear ink and apply clear embossing powder, heat to set it set it BUT DON'T LET IT COOL!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whilst it is still hot apply more embossing powder to the glass part of the bulb, the embossing powder will stick to the hot tacky melted embossing powder. - I did this 3 times!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When the final coat of embossing powder had melted I immediately stamped the cracked stamp into it, I do this all over the glass part of the bulb.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As long as you work quickly and stamp into hot embossing powder you will be left with this fabulous effect.......</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here at Crafty Roo HQ we have decided June should be all textures, so throughout June we will be giving a shout out to our TEXTURE stamps starting with the fabulous Dotties stamp. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up I chose three of my favourite aka my go to colours of Distress Oxides (peacock feather, picked raspberry and wilted violet) and I applied them heavily to my tag - the more colour you apply the better the resist will be.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So before Christmas the Roolets and I where making a few things using Air Dry Clay, to be fair the pack had been open for ages (years in fact!) and the less clay that was in the pack, the less workable it became so I decided it was a good idea to try and create some flowers using <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/december-2018-monthly-make-kit" target="_blank">Decembers Monthly Make</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up you need some Air dry Clay, I like the DAS stuff it is child friendly and lasts ages and a clean flat surface to work on. I like to put some greaseproof/baking paper down to work on as all oc my cutting mats no matter how much I clean them are still messy and the clay will pick up any imperfections.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Roll out your clay until it is about 0.5cms thick (I used the Roolets playdoh rolling pins!) and larger than the stamp you want to stamp into it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ink up your stamp I used an Archival Ink pad, this does two things, it stamps your image into the clay, but it also protects your stamp as the clay will suck the moisture out of your stamps so if there is ink there instead it will remove the moisture from that instead. Press your stamp firmly into your clay, being careful note to got through the whole of the clay, but deep enough to leave a good debossed image.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next I used our 10cm <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/circle-poly-plate" target="_blank">Circle POLY PLATE</a> and sprinkled Brusho over it (Gamboge, Turquoise and Purple) and added a little SprinkleIT (Copper) too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I stamped this in place on the sized piece of card.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To stop the trees from floating I sprinkled a little bit of Brusho powder onto my matt and spritzed it until it was very watery. I then painted in the ground. I then did the same in the sky using the Turquoise Brusho. And then left it to dry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had one last Christmas Idea to share with you, again I decided to stamp off the page, but I hope you agree it turned out fab, I just love this colour combination.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsqHUY46uzP-wUFDzdaXK5TW7FqHMRLClZNsRs870c9jlrLru1TAXYgciRBkGdPq76qzicebAntjdUqaOG4hEP0ukiEoVrA6vAUMJonoX7BcvJGbVQ-27IMOx3pZyxNqZY-YjgCWg-Lls/s1600/Threetrees+final+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1206" data-original-width="1600" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsqHUY46uzP-wUFDzdaXK5TW7FqHMRLClZNsRs870c9jlrLru1TAXYgciRBkGdPq76qzicebAntjdUqaOG4hEP0ukiEoVrA6vAUMJonoX7BcvJGbVQ-27IMOx3pZyxNqZY-YjgCWg-Lls/s320/Threetrees+final+2.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up I trimmed my piece of card down so it was 1 cm smaller than A5. I gave my POLY PLATE a quick wipe with a baby wipe and inked it up using stormy sky, broken china and faded jeans, gave it a quick spritz and stamped one at either side of my piece of card, making sure to re ink between images.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnv0kJjSJMVV_2_3ZItYX6NLRiEXYg0DB5qWQGiRt1JC1-tDfxdfjHvTSmSxLu0DcqNqPzBvUaPhw7-DYKJrBU-GWH1jDLqlJSguLDW9H6UgHGYCBwfRNoHBvr913RHk2oMnZAINX1t7Y/s1600/Threetrees+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="958" data-original-width="1600" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnv0kJjSJMVV_2_3ZItYX6NLRiEXYg0DB5qWQGiRt1JC1-tDfxdfjHvTSmSxLu0DcqNqPzBvUaPhw7-DYKJrBU-GWH1jDLqlJSguLDW9H6UgHGYCBwfRNoHBvr913RHk2oMnZAINX1t7Y/s320/Threetrees+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the centre tree I used darker shades of blue so broken china, faded jeans and chipped sapphire, I stamped the tree in the centre and higher up the page this time.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9RG2MRO2R85SfVhxW6tmTVPayv830UimYDw0hs16y5WA2OZBrHkT8lpAmxaUVYVO6mCb6oiKbqmYc2ZyP2OsIZpIakjVTjVb2cMh6p5UTamgRWpzQB2C1y44yyx6veqTxI4SdfqBIrI/s1600/Threetrees+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1097" data-original-width="1600" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9RG2MRO2R85SfVhxW6tmTVPayv830UimYDw0hs16y5WA2OZBrHkT8lpAmxaUVYVO6mCb6oiKbqmYc2ZyP2OsIZpIakjVTjVb2cMh6p5UTamgRWpzQB2C1y44yyx6veqTxI4SdfqBIrI/s320/Threetrees+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I coloured some silver sparkle pen onto my glass mat and used it to "ink" up the snow stamp and then stamped it across the top of the card. When it was dry I stamped the sentiment in clear ink and embossed using Vintage Black embossing powder.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKei2cSRZIohMQ77pATyhX17lBBGV-9DyBhMzWG4WbzTqf-SdcSZ_FrFiCiGPUQQzeglb4KVxLApSZklm8Q1sPHzIluBygCKlEHQTKUtloSpdOD7tNAEVPz4k0l6gIuWIuOxbX7b9f9YU/s1600/Threetrees+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1004" data-original-width="1600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKei2cSRZIohMQ77pATyhX17lBBGV-9DyBhMzWG4WbzTqf-SdcSZ_FrFiCiGPUQQzeglb4KVxLApSZklm8Q1sPHzIluBygCKlEHQTKUtloSpdOD7tNAEVPz4k0l6gIuWIuOxbX7b9f9YU/s320/Threetrees+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To finish the card off I mounted it onto a piece of black card, tied a piece of pale blue ribbon around the base of the card then mounted it all onto an A5 white base card.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But, it does feel a bit strange to be sat here talking about Christmas after spending a fabulous day on the beach with the Roolets! We have whisked our little people off to the VERY sunny East coast for some family time and it's positively tropical on this side of those hills!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I have sneaked away for a moment or two to share with you a really easy card I made using this Months <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/monthly-make" target="_blank">Monthly Make</a> Stamp set.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And one final time I inked up, this time just using peeled paint, spritzed and stamped it again even further off the page. I then gave it a quick blast with the heat gun to dry the ink.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I then inked up just the Christmas part of the large sentiment at the base of a trimmed down A5 piece of white card, I stamped in clear ink, then added Ravens Night Embossing Powder and heat set it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Across the top of the card I stamped the snow again in clear ink but this time used our Vintage White embossing powder and heat set it.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once the sparkle pens were dry I mounted my image onto a piece of burgundy card and attached a ribbon around the card. This was then mounted onto an A5 base card. And finally I tied a bow on my ribbon.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This months Monthly Make stamp set is a biggie a whopping A4 in size, which contains the fabulous new Tree POLY PLATE which is a perfect size for A5 cards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But today, I am steering clear of cards and returning to a love of mine..... Scrapbooking! I haven't scrapped in ages but some thing about this stamp set yelled out to be scrapped, so I dug out a Festive picture and away I went.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hardest part of the whole page was finding my 12 x 12 card stock! It was in a "safe place"! And selecting my photo, I chose to convert my picture to black and white before printing it out as a 10 x 13 cm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up I inked up my POLY PLATE using tumbled glass, broken china and stormy sky Distress Inks, then spritzed the POLY PLATE and stamped it three times across the top of my page, inking up before each stamp.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, all my pieces were ready I decided to put my page together! I started by trimming down my matting papers, I cut the paler one 1cm larger than the photo and the darker snow one 2 cm larger than, as I wanted to see the snow! I popped my photo in place then attached my vellum saying, then the photo over the top. I then stuck the words Season and Magic in place.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some was missing so I stamped the largest star in Cloudy Sky on top of the dark tree! PERFECT!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's Monday again, boy do Monday's come around so fast these days!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, I have been playing with </span><a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/monthly-make" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Junes Monthly Make Se</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/monthly-make" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">t</a></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> and came across this lovely technique that works well with both Distress Ink AND Oxides! Check out those butterflies, if you look really closely you will notice the solid butterfly is different colours - cool hey! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So how do we do it well it's really simple! Shall we start with our Distress Oxides?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course, why not for this one I used twisted citron, peacock feathers and seedless preserve Distress Oxide. I started by covering the whole of the solid butterfly with twisted citron and stamped it onto my card.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Make sure you clean your stamp between each colour otherwise you will contaminate your oxide pads!!!!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Next ink up the centre 2/3 of the stamp using peacock feathers, stamp this over the top of the twisted citron one. A stamping platform will help line this up perfectly but it is just as effective lining it up by eye!</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But before July turn's all festive let me play once again with Junes Monthly Make Stamp set. This week i have used the outline stamps to create this fabulous card (or canvas!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To make this one I started with a piece of 7.5 inch square card and spritzed it with water and then sprinkled some Brushos (Lemon, Camboge and Crimson) over it, from one corner to the other and spritzed it until I was happy with the effect. (Leave it to dry or help it along with a heat gun!).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When it was dry I stamped the Distressed Panel from the edge to the middle down both sides using first and 2nd generation images. I did this is pumice stone and peeled paint Distress Ink, and left it to dry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To make this lovely simple card I started with a trimmed down A5 piece of super shiny paper and gave it a quick spritz with water.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I carried on doing this until I was happy with my background and then left it to dry.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Next I stamped the Distressed Panel stamp in pumice stone Distress Ink across the gap I had at the bottom of the piece of card and then towards the top. And left it to dry again (I used a heat gun to speed things along!).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To finish of my stamping I stamped Bulb - Born to fly in clear ink in the centre at the bottom of the card over the stamped Distressed Panel and embossed it using our Raven's Flight Embossing Powder.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then in the space left at the top of the card I stamped the solid butterfly and again embossed it using Raven's Night Embossing Powder.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mr Roo and the Roolets are digging a path to the Stamp machines so Mr Roo doesn't get snowed in there! Well Mr Roo is, the Roolets are making snow castles and standing shouting at the fish pond asking if the fish are cold - I'll give you a clue IT'S FROZEN!!!!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Isn't it funny how one phone call, email, conversation changes your plans in an instant! Well as you can probably tell my Thursday plans changed and well it's now Saturday lol and I am finally getting around to sharing this really quick but so beautiful Easter gift! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPufe2pMVE9YTKMYqV-vrEL7O9zn2lMX4dLxAdlbH4fRkpHKH31iZtrp7JdyqBi7aktIk2TSso9D967821FusbNQKTfHNVgK_CLg8NlmXy7WmdzKT5JrEJmynLdb2nj-B_N6d7TZ8V_gk/s1600/DSC_0360_edited.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="829" data-original-width="926" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPufe2pMVE9YTKMYqV-vrEL7O9zn2lMX4dLxAdlbH4fRkpHKH31iZtrp7JdyqBi7aktIk2TSso9D967821FusbNQKTfHNVgK_CLg8NlmXy7WmdzKT5JrEJmynLdb2nj-B_N6d7TZ8V_gk/s320/DSC_0360_edited.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So without any further delays let's crack on...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up you will need a un-coated tile for this project, these are available from any DIY shop and generally have a warning ticket telling you they will need sealing, I went for the natural stone colour but they do them in others, you will also need some door stops (the type you use in kitchen cabinets to stop your door slamming shut), tissue paper and some really good quality PVA!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now we are good to start.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Find a circle that is smaller than the tile that will act as your guide and draw it onto a piece of scrap paper. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then draw around your tile onto the tissue paper - I always use the rough side of the tissue paper as it holds the inks a little better!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Place this over the circle and secure in place.</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here goes......</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up cut a piece of white card 1cm smaller than a DL base card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using the <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/distressed-panel-poly-plate" target="_blank">Distress Panel POLY PLATE</a> from <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/february-2018-monthly-make-stamps-only" target="_blank">February's Monthly Make</a>, give it a quick wipe with a baby wipe then start to load up the colour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cover the entire <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/distressed-panel-poly-plate" target="_blank">POLY PLATE</a> with fossilised amber, then the top 2/3 with carved pumpkin and the top 1/3 with fired brick. Spritz with water until the ink turns fluid. Stamp this onto the piece of white card. Leave it to dry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When the Sunset is dry stamp the <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/medium-spring-flowers-1" target="_blank">Spring Flower Silhouettes #1</a> <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/medium-spring-flowers-2" target="_blank">& 2</a> across the sunset in brushed corduroy. (After many requests the Spring Flower Silhouettes are also available in Minis and Large!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On a scrap piece of white card Stamp your saying with clear in and emboss using Vintage Black embossing powder and heat to set.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mat the sunset and the sentiment onto a slightly bigger piece of black card. Then around the Sunset piece attach a piece of yellow/gold ribbon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Attach the sunset to the front of a DL base card and stick the sentiment over the ribbon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So how about another Easter offer? Well I can't discount our <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/monthly-make" target="_blank">Monthly Make Stamps sets</a> any more as we don't have many of February's left and if I was to add any more stamps to Mr Roo's making list he might just say a few naughty words!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So instead how about another Poly Plate offer???????</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/easter-poly-plate-offer-2" target="_blank">Interested well hop on over to our website to find out more!</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Easter is a big deal here at Crafty Roo HQ, my two little people love the magic and excitement of the Easter hunt - I can't call it an Easter EGG hunt as they don't really eat Easter Eggs I generally end up tucking into them between Summer and Christmas. So our Easter hunt has clues on how to find the prizes and all sorts of silly things to find and lots of giggles and laughter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year I thought I would get my act together, as I am always making cards and gifts last minute and come up with some quick and easy card (and gift ideas) for Easter and share them hopefully every other day between today and Easter!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So today's card is really quick and simple to make and more importantly your can colour it however you like.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLXBXUq4K0NHBpIiMBS_kp1zkVuMBaCEx8hjighSq43v6IL63xfykpDx4ioAGBqsLVaoxWHCoD8Ypq5dYWoDfz96h9fAWycKuUF3KPfAXxe8qklkx1mbnrXTtS5M_EGWQhfxp0EimFhcE/s1600/HAppy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1596" data-original-width="1600" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLXBXUq4K0NHBpIiMBS_kp1zkVuMBaCEx8hjighSq43v6IL63xfykpDx4ioAGBqsLVaoxWHCoD8Ypq5dYWoDfz96h9fAWycKuUF3KPfAXxe8qklkx1mbnrXTtS5M_EGWQhfxp0EimFhcE/s320/HAppy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And as promised here is a quick recipe on how its done....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First up choose a couple of Distress Oxides for your background (this can be done in normal Distress Inks too - but that is for another day!). I used salty ocean, peacock feathers and wilted violet. Start by applying areas of the palest colour peacock feathers, be sure to apply this really heavy to get the best contrasts. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">And finally wilted violet, I also ran wilted violet around the edges and gently over the other colours too!</span></div>
<br />

Part 3..... <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Slightly later than I had planned, but after nearly 5 days stuck in bed with some awful bug (gee thanks for that one kids!) I will give this a whirl!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So where were we ah yes this little beauty...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just love this effect, it is so easy and so versatile! All you need is Distress Oxides, spritzer/water, a paint brush (and a stamp or two!).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here goes, start with a plain piece of white card and trim it so it is 2 cm smaller than your finished card. Then start to add your colours, I started with the palest colour first, salty ocean then seedless preserves and wilted violet (i think these are the colours!). I added them in random patches all over the piece of card making sure to apply very thickly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using your background stamp I used our Splat stamp. Spritz the stamp so it is wet but not dripping! Stamp onto your card leave in place for a couple of seconds - if you are using a clear stamping block you can see the water doing its thing - So fab!! lift the stamp off and dab your piece of card, keep doing this until you are happy with your background.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes you can second generation stamp with the water BUT 1) it wont remove as much ink (looks good though) and 2) remember Distress Oxides like to contaminate (they are messy monkeys!) so you will transfer some of the colour you have just removed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then stamp your sentiment and mount it onto a black piece of card and then onto your base card. really simple to do but wow you can create some stunning effects, I used 3 Oxides but it works just as well using 2.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Again this is soo easy to do but takes no time at all!!!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up I trimmed an A5 piece of white card down by 2cm on each side so my piece ended up 13.5cm by 20cm. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>I always use heavy weight card about 300gsm! Why? well I am a messy crafter I love to throw lots of inks, paints, anything really at my cards and I want to know it isn't going to buckle of worse if its a card not stand up, so I use 300gsm when and where I can. But that being said each card blend is different and you will have your preferences too! So I guess what I am trying to say is you will find what works best for you and your style - I hope that helps!</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I chose my colours I went for fossilized amber, wild honey, cracked pistachio and for contrast on the flower peeled paint and seedless preserves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I then stamped the <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/set-3-mini-poly-plates" target="_blank">Mini Distressed square Poly Plate</a> in fossilized amber about an inch in from the top and left hand side. I cleaned my stamp (make sure you remove all ink as Distress Oxides will contaminated really easily!), then I stamped the wild honey and finally cracked pistachio.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I spritzed some water into the palm of my hand and flicked it at the card. If I had spritzed my card directly I would have just got tiny dots this way I get the big blobs. Dab the water off with kitchen roll - the longer you leave it on the more colour will be "bleached". Keep doing this until you are happy with the result.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fab hey! Next I stamped the <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/funky-flowers-amazing" target="_blank">Amazing Funky Flower</a> in black Archival in ink onto the card and onto a spare piece of card too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Paint the leaves of the flower on the card in peeled paint. And on the spare add the seedless preserve to the flower heads - I used a scrunched up bit of kitchen roll to do my colouring/distressing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Next I found a sentiment that fitted into the bottom square and stamped it in black Archival Ink.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTL25r5wYRu4g1MATVa4rqQWrrwyZBmNECJ1doOtFrKpq2simt6mPuhvqrM4M1cA0tTWZbmf-i96dWKe0wIbJm0kcxJtZDb4zC4bIGMBW9rxFWMjQWaFr7QA_vkCYi7Gp1ZwAccLusKlA/s1600/DSC_0274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1172" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTL25r5wYRu4g1MATVa4rqQWrrwyZBmNECJ1doOtFrKpq2simt6mPuhvqrM4M1cA0tTWZbmf-i96dWKe0wIbJm0kcxJtZDb4zC4bIGMBW9rxFWMjQWaFr7QA_vkCYi7Gp1ZwAccLusKlA/s320/DSC_0274.JPG" width="234" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mount this onto a 1cm larger piece of black card and mount onto an A5 base card. Cut out your flower heads out and glue or tape them in place. I used foam tape on mine. I also think I needed to some gems in the flower stamens just to finish it off .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We recently ran a couple of quick workshops using Distress Oxides, each card we made, we built on our techniques we had learnt on the last one and I think everyone walked away with 3 stunning cards, but importantly a head full of inspiration, so I thought I would share them on here too...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First up we are going to look at the tiled card, for this we are going to concentrate on painting and stamping using our Distress Oxides.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lets begin by cutting a piece of white card slightly larger than your stamp, (I used <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/product-page/funky-flowers-amazing" target="_blank">Funky Flower - Amazing</a> for this one, the saying is from another set - I got them all muddled up lol!). Stamp your image onto the piece of card in Archival Ink.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Onto a glossy surface (I used the back of my stamping block) stamp a little bit of the Distress Oxide I used peeled paint, peacock feathers and fossilzed amber. I painted one colour at a time so I didn't contaminated my ink pads. Next to the stamped ink spritzed a little water (you need the water to allow the ink to move whilst you are painting). Then colour in your image.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Place the tiled image onto a card and layout where you want the sentiment to be. Remove the tiled image and stamp the sentiment I used peacock feathers to tie in with my flower. Make sure your stamp is clean before you ink it up as the Oxide will pick up any ink from the stamp that is not permanent and dried on! Also be sure to clean your stamp well afterwards.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are back!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As most people will know the last 6 months has been incredibly busy but we really can't complain it keeps us out of trouble and I get to escape to my little crafty haven!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have a new website where we are currently running a 20% off any stamps offer to celebrate, so if you fancy 20% off any stamp set* or two all you have to do is hop on over to our website pop your stamps in your cart and then before you checkout add <b><u>NEWWEB2018</u></b> where it says promo code it really couldn't be simpler.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">* Please note: Monthly Make Kits, subscriptions and stamp only sets are not included in this offer! Offer runs until Friday 26th January 2018.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway with the new website I was hoping to move our blog across there too as it really is letting me do things our previous one didn't, but for all the amazing and wonderfully useful things the website can now do it seems when it comes to blogging you can't really beat blogger, so here we shall stay....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We also have a number of new monthly "clubs" or more like craft-alongs that will be using our Monthly Make sets these are nearly ready to go - I just got a little carried away so things have taken me a little longer to do than planned (isn't that ALWAYS the case lol!). So whilst I get these pesky ducks in a row here's a sneaky look our January's <a href="https://www.craftyroodesigns.co.uk/tag-it" target="_blank">TAG-IT</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wow, what a wonderful weekend!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We got to meet so many lovely people at the Sincerely Yours Show@ the Wirral on Sunday, it was lovely to catch up and chat to sooo many of you! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The even better news was Mr Roo was back, <b><u>but on limited duties,</u></b> which meant I got to lift and shift everything - I have the bruises to prove it! But if that wasn't enough Little Lady and Crafty Nic got to join the party too and we had a lovely day crafting and creating together and chatting about what we were up to!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The three of us spent the whole day working on ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) boy did we make some beauties and more importantly boy did we have fun!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But before I share a couple of our makes, lets have a little chat about ATC's for those of you who don't know ATC's have been around forever in fact they date back to times when people had their portraits painted and Artists would us them as a sample of their work. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are a couple of rules which are: a) all ATCs must measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches & b) ATC's are Traded, Swapped, Gifted BUT never sold! And to me that is their beauty, they are a way to share, create and inspire others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here's a little inspiration from Little Lady, Nic and I......</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, where do I begin? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These last few weeks have been "growing weeks"! As most of you know we are always up to something or off somewhere, as a family we never stop. So, when a wheel falls off our wagon or in this case Mr Roo decided he needed a stay at "La Hotel Hospital" it really does knock us off track! Don't panic Mr Roo will be fine, in about 8-10 weeks time!!!! Oh and a big Thank You to everyone who has messaged/emailed/asked how he is doing it is so lovely of you all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But, it gets you thinking about how much we all do. And well as much as I don't want to, I have to admit Mr Roo does do his fair share of the graft! He lifts and shifts everything, makes our stamps, helps at school, does more than his fair share of the dance/school run, and probably most importantly he helps look after our little people, our little people who adore him!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, I have to admit I can' wait for him to get better, but in the meantime I will still attend everything we have booked in the diary, BUT, it will just be me (and anyone else I can rope in to help!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here is the perfect journal page for the past few weeks....</span></div>
