Winter Wonderland Challenge

Well I can't get my breathe, I threw open the curtains this morning to see thick, heavy snow falling. Overnight we've had 5 inches, Nooooo! I've checked the weather forecast and it may melt this afternoon but then we have more forecast for the end of the week. Double Nooooo, I'm going to the Inspired Retreat on Friday and have to drive over to Cheshire. It does look beautiful but my garden was telling me this week that it is spring.
It has helped me get the right frame of mind for Winter Wonderland's sketch challenge this week. I found this image during my purge of excess craft stock. I'm sure like many of you, I have more than I can possibly need in a lifetime. I gave away four bin bags of craft stuff that has been hanging round for years. I found three pages of this image that I had stamped out at a craft class I used to go to years ago, I mean about 5 years ago! I had coloured it with my Copics this week and it was sitting on my counter, so I decided to use it on this card. I have no idea who its by but I loved colouring it. It's not my normal bright colours but I think it has a bit of country charm about it, I love the expression on some of these birds faces.

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic.   Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued ...
