The East Wind - Challenge #22

Welcome to the people who are still following me and welcome to 2015!!!

WOW what a long time it has been. I am hopefully back to crafting and blogging again, however due to illness, there might be times that mean I wont be around. 

Those of you who are friends with me on facebook will know that I was diagnosed with Heart Failure and Sever Global Impairment. I have days where I just want to sleep and days where I am unable to even get out of bed, but luckily I have more good days than bad at the moment. 

The East Wind, and a couple of other Design Teams have been AMAZING and kept my space open for me. I love the images from The East Wind and I had only just joined the DT when I started getting ill. I am grateful and honored that my space was saved for me and they have welcomed me back with open arms. 

Thank You xxx

Right then.......Down to what I am here for.......

On the 1st of January 2015, The East Wind Challenge Blog started a challenge called 'Button Up' and the image 'Can You Fly?' was given as a freebie to the wonderful people who have signed up to The East Wind news letter.

Here is the project I made using the freebie image 'Can You Fly?'

I coloured the image using my Faber-Castell Polychromos colouring pencils. 

The frame and trees have all been cut using my Cameo Silhouette.

The button is actually a cardboard button with purple hessian ribbon tied through it and more used to make a loop to hang the box frame up.

I really enjoyed making this project and it is amazing to be back blogging and making Design Team projects.
