Hello peeps,
I've a few days of not feeling very creative at all so I think my mojo is having a little rest, fingers crossed it comes back soon.
Today is new challenge day at
The obvious inspiration is Halloween / Autumn but I decided to use some of the colours & rosettes & made a birthday card instead for my son, my baby boy who's birthday was yesterday, I can't believe I have been a mummy for 24 years! Gareth's band have their first home gig on Saturday night in the pub Jodie works in and in honour of it he's gone and died his hair flipping green, muma was literally speechless when I saw it, my mouth was opening but words failed me & it's not often that happens lol.
