Life is just...

Hi folks...you've heard that saying "life is just a bowl of cherries" but not if you live and work in the cubbyhole it isn't...I thought I would have a little break from the work stuff and have some fun with Shari's 2nd Art Journaling Technique...
but it soon became clear when I saw the list of materials...it wasn't going to be a walk in the park...more like a trek up hill and dale considering I don't have any of Dyan's fabulous Dylusion Ink Sprays...to be honest I'm inclined to steer away from anything that is likely to spritz the walls of the cubbyhole with all the colours of the rainbow. But I'm not one to give up at the first hurdle so I decanted some Distress Re-inkers into Mini Misters and got to work...to be honest there was more colour on me than ended up on the paper but hey ho I did manage to avoid the walls and it's nothing that Tim's scrubbie and a hot shower didn't put right. I have to warn you that mine turned out nothing like Shari's...don't know quite what happened but I found myself going off on a completely different tangent...

but just when I thought it was all going swimmingly...my fine black liner refused to play the game and my Inkssentials White Opaque Pen just gave up the ghost and died...

and the temptation to play is everywhere...I'm sure you know that a certain person has a Tattered Floral Challenge running at the moment...oh boy I've had to call on every inch of willpower to resist the temptation to play along just yet...first I have a hot date with this month's Penny Black Saturday DT card-still at the drawing board stage which is a bit of a worry and a Fiskars Workshop card to nail so time to grit my teeth and get back to work...toodle oo for now...see you all tomorrow.
Hugs Kath
