A new beginning

Well looky here what happened in my garden today. It was thick with frost this morning then out came the sun and it brought these little beauties with it.
Coincidentally the theme over on Winter Wonderlands blog this week is new beginnings and they are starting with a sketch. I used one of Teri's digital images that I won a few weeks ago.You know sometimes you make a card and you're not too sure about it, well this is one. I don't know what it is though, I like the image and the colours but I'm not sure about the card. I feel that same about another card I made this weekend, I guess my mojo is fading a bit.

I've paid my deposit today for the next Inspired Retreat in October and I'm excited already. I'm still finishing prjects from this one, that's what I like it didn't finish when I got in the car and came home.I'll post the projects as I finish them.
I'm gutted that I have had to cancel the other retreat I was going to in April, I went to the Scrapping Angels retreat in Cambridge, so booked again this year. Unfortunatly I have to go into hospital tommorrow and won't be recovered in time to travel, so to make me feel better I booked October in Chester.

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 ...
