A few more experiments whilst watching Mr Holtz do his thang.
My favourite...
I just love that stamp girl.
As you can see I am still not creating as often as I would like. Thank you for all the comments on my last post. Very thoughtful indeed. Hugs C xxx
Happy weekend fun. I thought I would share some baking today as it is my Grandma's birthday today and so we have had a family day eating and drinking.
Part of the nibbles were chocolate ganache tartlets and hazelnut meringue cupcakes. I enjoyed making both of these.
having gone back to work last week you can see the creative production has decreased, again! I guess this is just how it goes. I am determined to craft this week, even if it is just ten minutes. I have been keeping up my daily journal for Kate Crane's monthly calendar page but not much else. I did make a card for my grandma but didn't photograph it - doh.
How do any of you do creativity, family and work balance? I would love to know, really if you have the time to share.
Have a good week C XXX
The winner was picked randomly, DH shouted out a number and the post that corresponded with the number won. That was number 4 which corresponded to Shary. Congratulations Shary. Drop me a line and I will pop it in the post ASAP.
Thanks to my followers again.

I found a little time this afternoon between work and mowing the lawn to take Day 3 of Mr Holtz's class. Great fun with alcohol inks, texture fades and distress inks. I had one mishap where I managed to spray the kitchen in purple alcohol ink - don't ask me how! Thank goodness for blending ink.
After cleaning up I did manage to make the three tags.
I have also started to alter a chocolate box to keep all my tags in. One layer of Gesso and one layer of acrylic paints so far.
Hope you have had a good time, minus the spillage! C xxx
I am the lucky GDT over on CM &LI Forum this morning and I thought I would challenge people with my Rory's Story Cubes and a sketch.
Mine is...
Lauren went with this lovely tavel theme...
I have decided to sign up for Mr Holtz's online class, inspired by my friend Clare, and her journey. Of course, I am behind as the class actually finished but because of the way the course has been set up you can enjoy it now and at your leisure.
I have really enjoyed watching Day 1 and Day 2 this afternoon, amongst other things, LO even enjoyed it too, especially the magic chemistry sounds. Doing it now takes the pressure off keeping up - which is very good.
I love the PDFs and the labels to adhere to the tags you make, as well as the sheer brilliance of Mr Holtz and his techniques. If you haven't signed up and were not sure then I would say give it a go.
Distress Inks:
LO also did some decorating of gingerbread people for her friends who are coming to play tomorrow.
Hope you have had a good day too. Cherry X
