Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes.

A friend was bitten by something and is now in hospital with a very swollen, sore leg - I made this card for her using my favourite colours based on teal, green and blue...




I started with a pale blue card blank matted with teal papers. I added a die cut oval and oval frame to the inside. These were cut from a metallic paper.
I then added the image and sentiment.

At the front and just off to the left are two projects I am in the middle of, not yet finished. On my easel there are various things I have been doing in the last few days. I have been taking part in a virtual retreat so I have rather a lot of items to share:

Here is my desk today: 



My desk is much the same as last week. I haven't a lot to share - I had a virtual retreat last week with 3Quarter Designs. I have a lot of projects half started. I will share when I have something to share!! Then this week I have another - Black and White and Wow...I will share some of this when I have something finished. I did do this little 4 by 4 make which was a first little challenge...


I have taken photos of the ICADs up to July 16th:


These are blogged here

I made a couple of cards using a stamping on acetate technique:


Each July I usually do a Junk Journal July - I will just share the first couple of pages. I made a journal using used commercial greetings cards.




This is introduced by Ink and Page.

At the weekend Sophie and I went to see Lightscape in the Botanic Garden. Before we went we did a bit of Cricut crafting making this mug for Kevin.

Happy crafting - hope to get around you all at some stage...
