Wow! what a day!

I had a phone call yesterday from a dear crafting friend, Ruth, who was part of the Salt Faith Challenge blog team that I had the privilege of working with until May last year. Ruth and I were among the founder members of the blog which started in August 2007. During that time we got to know one another quite well, but had never met in real life. When Ruth got in touch yesterday she said she was in Bromley and we met up this morning - there was a Good Friday march of witness in Bromley centre and we got together there. And this afternoon, Ruth ran a Stampin' Up workshop in a friend's home in Bromley and I was invited along. I thoroughly enjoyed crafting with a lovely group of ladies, with Ruth inspiring us with her creativity and enthusiasm.

So I thought I'd show the cards that I made. This is the first one, using Stampin' Up ink pads and stamps and daubers with ink to distress edges.The middle blank square was masked with a post it note and the stamped square was raised in that space.


I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Suzie's photos day 97: pastel

The first thing I thought of for day 97: pastel was my tins of Caran d'Ache pastels, so here they are


It looks as if I'm copying my lovely friend Gez, but I'd already taken the photo when I saw hers - great minds think alike!
