Today is full of Possibilities

Hello Blogland

Ok I am just not going to justify the lapses between posts, I am just going to accept I am terrible at blogging (but getting better at using instagram does that count?)

I want to share a little project I just completed.

Recently I have been obsessed with playing with colour and creating backgrounds using different mediums and techniques.
Today I actually made something with one of the many background pages.


Recipe
Index Card
Distress Oxides
Archival Inks
AALL & Create Stamps
Dina Wakley Stamp
Washi Tape
Liquitex Matt Medium Gel
Tim Holtz Small Talk Word Stickers
Uniball White Gel Pen
White Sharpie Marker
Mermaid Marker

I am getting braver playing with brighter colours and not over thinking things - slow process but am getting there.

Believing in myself - a few recent projects

Hi blog land

I am seriously the WORST blogger ever, I just haven't been crafting as much as I would like which is why I haven't been blogging.
Terrible I know, but here is a little post to show what I HAVE done since my last post.

I was recently lucky to attend the first ever AALL & Create world tour workshop at the fantastic That's Crafty store.
I did 2 full days which was 4 workshops.
I met the most AMAZING people and loved every second of it, learnt a lot of new techniques, and came home with a few completed projects.

MDF Tag - Tracy Evans Class


Journal pages - Autour De Mwa's class


Calico Panels - Autour De Mwa's Class


Watercolour Journal Page - Fiona Paltridge's Class


Mixed Media Canvas - Aida's Class



I took what I learnt from these classes and created a smaller Mixed Media Canvas


I feel I have turned a corner in terms of my abilities, am always learning and evolving, which makes everything worthwhile.
At some point I will stop holding myself back, stop being so scared of making mistakes, doing the wrong thing and stop thinking I'm never going to be good enough because I look at what I accomplished and just how much I got from doing those workshops and I know I can do it.
I just need to take that leap and believe in myself.

Thank you for popping by my blog, please post a comment below to let me know you popped by my little blog, it is always greatly appreciated.
