Birthday Card and mini book .

Hi everyone.

as she opened her gift ... oh my fave color she said .

 layering with paper and Dusty Attic chipboard 

with added blooms.

very fiddly to create but it was fun.

Magic with metal

Hello everyone it certainly has been a long time between posts !! Some health issues with my hubby  have stopped me creating recently. He had a massive cycling accident  lots of internal bleeding and broken bones  and cuts and bruises !!! He has been diagnosed with Post traumatic Stress Disorder. the last 5 years he has endured a massive infection from a hip replacement,  cancer , heart disease and now his cycling accident  no wonder he is stressed !!!!   He is improving little by little  thank goodness. I know we can get through this together . Here is a textured LO  I used a beautiful photo of a stunning piece of metal jewelery created by the very talented  Deryn Boyd Mentock see her amazing creations on her FB page . I titled this page MAGIC

 loaded with Dusty Attic chippies and texture.

love these delightful pieces of beauty .

thanks so much for popping by . and taking a look at my work  take care until next time  happy scrapping  love and hugz from Heather x
