......And as usual my good intentions are out of the window ....trying to get several jobs done at the same time and not completing any of them ....including blogging.
I did manage to decorate a parcel for someone this week...in desperation I did reach for some craft tools (circle punches) but this was to aid me with recycling a used bit of wrapping paper ....and in my defence I also used scraps of paper for the decorations .....I would have stencilled the circle design with paint but actually didn't have much time to allow for drying and I think the paper circles covered any marks much better..
....and as I was in a hurry and to make up for my crafty cheat I recycled a cord handle off one of my ribbon boxes to attach the hand doodled tag. To add a bit of colour to the tag I just loosely coloured with some felt pens and then washed over with water.....so quick and .... truly.... I prefer the effect if I rush it and bleed the ink over the edges 😉
I turned one of my practice pieces into a little note card, which hopefully fits in with Less is Mores one layer "add a stem" challenge.
I'm hoping my circle design and label counts for Allsorts circle cards challenge (does a tag count as a card?)
I have never joined in with "Hiding in my closet" before, but as they have a scrap challenge I thought my project my fit in with themAnother challenge site new to me is Crafting with an attitude.

I can totally relate to you, starting lots of jobs and finishing none of them!! (My Dad tells me I'm easily distracted!) Love your tag, and spotted the difference - super cute addition! Lou x
