2nd post of the day - please scroll down to read earlier post

Hi folks,

I FINALLY got round to a photobucket slide show ..... of course, it's only got the photos I had shrunk and not yet deleted from my photo software so it will grow some time soon - in the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy it - such as it is.

I've also made a decision not to participate in further blog awards. Whilst it's lovely to receive them and flattering too, some of them can be quite time consuming to participate in - requiring that you pass it on to a certain number and post on those people's blogs and also to share stuff too - so I hope that no-one will be offended that I have made this decision. I would hate to offend any of my blogging buddies.

Right - oh and back to the crafting. Further to my recent inspiration in the form of the Kate Crane DVD's on art journalling. I started working on three ATC blanks. Well you've seen two of them and now here's the third.

Materials used:

• ATC blank
• Clear gesso
• Acrylic paints in pearl, eggplant, peach bellini and copper
• Tops from various household bits and pieces
• Sequin waste
• Ranger spreader
• Circle of card made in to a flower!
• Paper artsy sentiment inked in memento tuxedo black and cut out, dabbed with memento grape jelly
• Lavinia dandelion head inked in memento tuxedo black
• SU .6mm marker pen for outlining and drawing petals on to my "flower head"

Hope you liked it and are enjoying a fab Sunday
