Hi everyone I hope that you are all well and happy. Welcome to my little bit of blogland.
It has been a while since my last post. I have at long last moved house, its been a long awaited move although it has been stressful and worst of all my craft room was packed up my desk dismantled and I almost went stir crazy with no crafting. It has now been rehomed and craft stuff unpacked ( most of it ) and after my mojo decided it was going to come back I have been crafting again.
Enough of my ramblings and down to business. Today I have to share with you a wall plaque I have created using papers and digi stamp designed by Janette Padley Owner/designer of stamping dragon designs.
Here it is and I hope you like it.
 
Goodies Used
6x4 MDF plaque
Papers and Digi Stamp from Stamping Dragon Designs
wooden heart , pearls, lace , jute, flowers and twine from my stash.
