GDT at Polish 13@arts.pl

Good morning!

It's Saturday over here in my parts of the world and Stockholm is dressed in fluffy white. The mercury has dropped to about -5C which is kind of nice, just cold enough to make the snow crisp and not wet and soggy. It's snowing still, but now the flakes are drifting and swirling gently through the air, not chucking it down horizontally as yesterday.

DH has left for his business trip to Dhaka/Bangladesh and the household is quiet after the hustle and bustle of last minute preparations. First some chores and then back to my scrappy nook in the afternoon!

You might remember that the fabulously and awesomely talented Polish multi media artist Ayeeda aka Aida Domisiewicz sent me a generous pack of her own paper collection called Frosted Life some time ago. I am sure we will see many more designed by her in the future!

I was already creating a page with her papers, just for fun and just for me when Aida asked would I want to be her weekend GDT over at her blog 13@rts.pl. Of course I said yes!

The post has just gone live on 13@arts.pl -  HERE is the link to the announcement.

 

Here is the page I made - "Winter";
