Slow month



I've been posting at least a couple of times a week on my 2012 - Through a camera lens blog and as I've also been trying to set up for market stalls, including sourcing business cards, trying to find reasonable public liability insurance (!) and other stuff, I've neglected all my other blogs.
In the other stuff category I'm participating in another Soul Scrappers challenge. This one is called "Shop Till You Drop" and celebrates the 2nd anniversary of the Soul Scrappers website.


For STYD1 the challenge was to decorate a frame - you could design your own or alter an existing frame. The decorations had to include 3 flowers, a title and a tie or ribbon to hang it with. I decided to design my own. The flower paper on the frame is the top layer of a serviette (thanks to Kerryanne and her Embracing the Passion course for giving me this idea!). The dragonfly is a shiny metal embellishment that I've coloured using Sharpie permanent markers. This will be a gift to my daughter.









The STYD2 challenge was to use 9 flowers on a floral patterned paper with a cluster of flowers somewhere on the item. Being short of cards lately I decided this would be a good opportunity to add another to the collection. The fact that I have many blue items decided the colour choice and I can always add a sentiment later when I decide on its receiver. I've kept it 'flattish' so it can go by mail without incurring extra costs. The flowers at top right were added after submitting it to the challenge as I had an afterthought that it needed something to 'balance' the design.







Thanks for looking!,
