A Challenge from Sarah

The lovely Sarah of Youtube: 3dogsand2kids and The Handmade Card Blog and I have been having a bit of a crafting mojoless slump lately, it is taking heaven and earth to get either of us motivated or inspired, so when we were on skype one night I said lets get our mojo motivated and I challenge you to do the Mojo Monday challenge, and film it and enter it before it ends. Sarah said fine so long as you do it too! So naturally being the competitive person I am could not say no so I accepted!



After a couple of days milling about what to do I decided on my brand spanking new WPlus9 stamp of the cute little birdie and I wanted to add some resin paper in I had made a while ago actually and use up some of the scraps of paper that are in my now rather large scraps of paper box, its literally busting open! I am really not sure who made the papers, maybe 7gypsies, they were loose in my box without a covering sheet or packaging.




I stamped the image in versafine, coloured with Brusho's and inked everything with Memento Luxe peanut brittle ink. I used a reference image of a Coal Tit found randomly on a google image search, THIS is the particular one I used.




I am so pleased with how this turned out and it has really sparked my imagination, I think my mojo is returning! I haven't used patterned paper for the longest time, I think I am regaining my love for it.




I would love to hear what you think of my part of the challenge and hope you go visit the lovely Sarah to see hers. Her youtube channel and her blog are well worth following!

Natures Secret Scent Compact for ICE Resin

Today over on the wonderful ICE Resin Blog is my turn and I have for you a gorgeous project, if I do say so myself! I just adore how this one turned out, it smells amazing, it looks beautiful on your dresser or in your bag!



When closed it just looks like a pretty decoration, but open it up and.....



You have your own hand made solid perfume inside! The perfume is a secret for now but I will be parting with the recipe sooner or later......
