The Gothic Arches challenge this week is Tags! I have a grand collection of Tags that I don’t often use, so this was the chance to get them all out. Having said that, I only ended up using one tag… all the rest are waiting to be put away.
Gothic Arch - Tags
The background is blue card with Blockheads text and Collections swirl in Brilliance silver ink. Tag is a blue shipping tag. Da Vinci faux postage stamp by Ten Two Studios. Imagine faux postage stamp by Collections. Plus a few rub-ons and fibres.
Happy creating,
Michelle

I’ve ventured over to Make a Moo or Two this week for their Vintage Love challenge.
Vintage Love Moos
Background is a wash of walnut ink. Postcard images from Summerset Studios image CD. Collections border stamped in Brilliance Galaxy gold. L O V & E stamped in sepia ink, by Basic Grey. Various heart punches (who would have thought I had so many!?!). Found text. Cards edged in Adirondack Espresso.
These are the first Moos I’ve made this year – I had forgotten how fun they can be. I find the best approach is to use the length, as there isn’t much width!
Keep crafting,
Michelle

Tags: bushfires, Melbourne
The bushfires here in Melbourne have cast smoke across the town; it is a constant reminder of the mammoth disaster that occurred here on Saturday February 7th.
I have not been directly effected. None of my family or friends have died or lost homes. Yet somehow it has effected all of us, every Melbournite.
We all heard the warnings before Saturday, we lived through that day… it was like stepping straight into Hell itself, when stepping outside that day. The horrid north wind came up so quickly. We lived through the hottest Melbourne day ever (46 degrees C). I am always drained after such a hot day, but this time, as events unfolded, it was with growing horror as each piece of news was received. It was like prodding a sore tooth; I didn’t want to hear anymore, yet I couldn’t help but check the local radio and internet for the latest updates. The death toll went from 40-ish to 90 and just kept growing (currently stands at 186 but we’ve been warned there is more to come, still over 100 people missing). Over 7,000 people homeless…
So there hasn’t been a lot of crafting lately. I’ve done a few items for the school’s fete…
