A first I thought it was Groundhog Day as today started the same as yesterday with a bacon buttie and coffee in bed - not that I'm complaining. Then I decided it was time to do my homework before anything else. Not that my homework is a bad thing as it's another magazine article and all I can tell you is that I'm covered in gold leaf!
Today's adventure (other than gold leaf) was a 4 mile walk up at Broadbottom. I'm loving discovering my local area on foot there's so much to see. Today I found the dye vats, that were once used to bleach and dye cloth. How cool is it to find some thing from 1800 on a local walk.
Me on my merry way.
Not so cool was finding some cows blocking the footpath! As you can see from the photos I did manage to get past them after we had a little chat!

The cow and I having a chat about them being in the way.
Where the little cow on the left is, is the stile I'd just come over! Thank you cows.
So back home and a little crafting to relax after my adventure. I made a few bits including this frame full of flowers. This was inspired by the Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World. I have to admit when I first saw this trigger it intimidated me slightly but intrigued me too and I felt the need to be challenged by it and I was and love what I eventually came out with.
Here's the trigger
Here's my frame full of flowers. The whole thing is made with plain card and just 2 flower rubberstamps from a set by Paperartsy, plus one box frame and a white rub-on. Don't you just love it when a plan comes together.
Apologies for the quality of the photo but as the flowers are behind glass it was a tough one to get a picture of.
Next up is a card made with bits left over from my gold leafing projects and my lovely little Slice machine and was inspired by challenges at:
Allsorts Challenge - July Love - not a huge heart but 5 little hearts all wrapped up in love
Twisted Sketches - Sketch 15 with a twist of frames - I turned the sketch 90 degrees and framed my images in gold.
Colour Create - baby pink, peach and black - I know added a bit of gold but the other colours were my base.

Another fabulous weekend. I love my life.
