Create your own art in Lockdown

 Morning all 

Such a beautiful day, the sun is shinning and the birds are chirping. The smell of Jasmine wafting thru the front door.

Hubby had  gone to get the groceries whilst I am sitting at my craft space (dinning room table) writing this up, with the sunshinning through and Coffee beside me.

Yesterday I had an appointment with the Disease Specialist about my infection, he wants another month on antibiotics as not quite stable,  but am feeling like my old self again which is good, not scrapping as many pages as I get really tired quickly, but at least a few

Yesterday I thought I would attempt to combine two challenges " Sketches in Thyme" week 3 sketch and "Scrap it with Attitude " Face book challenge.  Scrap it with Attitude  have one mandatory item each month which is journalling on your layout,  mine is hidden , written on the tag. They also like you to try a new technique each month. This month I have used Dimensional magic on my title words to make it stand out. I find it difficult to use and get it everywhere and it sticks to the paper, then trying to get it off ruin my chipboard.

 

I love the multi photo layout Sketch."Sketches in Thyme" have use.
