A Vintage Photo

New Year and and new look for my blog, mostly because I'm ashamed to say it's about a month since I even looked at a blog, and mine seemed to have gone a bit odd, so I've frittered away several hours trying to sort it out.

I've been on a bit of a sabbatical for the last month. Actually apart from a really fun art weekend with my lovely friends Sioux and Laura at the beginning of December, I haven't even sat down and thought about making anything, so my resolution for this year is to sit down and get inky at least twice a week.
I'm just squeezing in time for the final Grungy Monday Challenge of 2011 (Number 30),which is to use Tim Holtz Tissue Tape or District Market Tissue Paper. I don't have the tissue paper so it's just tape for me, and am also going to enter this tag in January's Artistic Stamper Challenge the theme of which is Vintage, and Hel's Sunday Stamper, which is anything goes.

Here's my tag which includes stamping and embossing as well as bits and bobs of Ideology.

Sorry it's such a poor photo, but it seemed to get dark at about 2pm today here in a very rainy Wiltshire.
I'm off now to catch up with what's going on in the Blogosphere
