A New Challenge at Polkadoodles Gem of a Craft Challenge

 Morning everybody

Its a new challenge day today over at Gem of a Craft Challenge  and this week the theme is Winter Birthday and use more than 2 of something.  For this fortnight's challenge I used PDDB7  Pansy in the Darling Buds range, they are stunning.  I used flowers from stash along with papers also from the Polkadoodles range.

I noticed that I have a few new followers so welcome and thank you for following me.  

I have been playing around with the settings on my camera which is old pentax SR 12 megapixals as my photo's are not coming out very well so if anyone know anything about this camera and can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Sorry I have not been around very much but my fibromyalgia has been playing up badly since Christmas I guess I just did too much and everything caught up with me but back on an even keel again now so hopefully blogging and commenting will take place once again.  

Loads of love and hugs to those who need it in this horrible time, stay safe.

Fibromyalgia

 Dear All

I am sorry not been around much but think I may have done too much on the lead up and during Christmas as I have had a major flare up of my fibromyalgia, after resting up for a couple of weeks I am now back on an even keel

As most of you know my daughter takes my cards to work to sell and she asked for some leaving cards well here is the first one, kept it pretty simple but hope you like it.

I will pop by later to do some commenting 

Love Alison

Finished project

 Morning all

Busy day ahead I have my sewing group this afternoon, it’s the last one before Christmas, I also have to shop this morning as will need milk and mince pies for this afternoon, was going to make them but ran out of time.

I mentioned a project I was working on a while ago and have finally finished it, these are for my granddaughter as a Christmas present so I hope she likes them

I am not sure if I can explain how these are made, started off with a blank canvas, cut out three layers of thick card in shapes required then glued them together.  Scrunched up plumbing tape and layer all over board then using a ball tool made sure all the edges of images were defined and then used the roller ball to go over the rest of the board.  Covered with black acrylic paint with a sponge then left for 10 minutes before taking a cloth and wiping the painted surface to make the image look like burnished metal.  Cover with three coats of varnish leaving each coat to dry all finished

Will pop by later to comment on your blogs

Love Alison
