New year, new adventures!

 Hello my lovelies!

It has been a long time since my last post in this blog.

Life has taken me in different directions, and I drifted away from my crafting studio.

I've created projects but not as I used to.

This new year brings a new opportunity to make art and of course I jumped at it.

When I'm creating it feels like no time has passed; I am content, happy and complete.

Enough of all this blabber stuff.

Yesterday I made a specimen tag, vintage style.

 

I've been wanting to try this technique and it was lots of fun, a learning curve, but fun.

Hope you like it and are inspired to create one.

I would like to enter this Tag in the following Challenges:

• Ellibelle's Corner: January Challenge: Anything Goes
• The Creative Crafters: Challenge 59:Anything Goes
• QKR Stampede: Challenge 458: Anything Goes
• Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog: Challenge 107: Anything Goes
• The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog: Challenge 292: Anything Goes
