I’m starting out from Terminal 1!

Good morning everyone, it’s Chris from ‘My corner of Heaven’ here with you this morning.

My luggage has been stored in the boot but I have my overnight bag with me filled with lots of goodies that I cannot be without.  My fellow travellers this month have joined with me to come up with our list of ‘desert island must haves’ and they are:
  1. Product - Any ‘Classics’ stamps
  2. Technique - Shabby Chic - CC Vol 1, Page 49
  3. Colour – Antique linen
  4. Substrate – Tag
Using all of the above elements, this is what I’ve come up with…


Here’s my journey to the end destination…

   

   

   

   

   




I hope you’ll join in with our travels this month and take a journey of your own….?

Have a great month!
