Hi hello and welcome to our blog hop!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You should have arrived from <b><a href="https://dapfniedesign.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: red;">DAPHNE'S</span></a></b> blog and if you have only arrived at my blog then you need to go back to the beginning at <a href="http://jennifergracecreates.com/"><b><span style="color: red;">JENNIFER'S</span></b> </a>blog.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lovely Jennifer who I meet for the first time at the CHA Creative Exchanges in Coventry asked me if I would like to take part in her hop, of course I said yes! When she said the theme was<b> FOCUS </b>I smiled because it pretty much sums up my life right now and I'm calling it fate!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It also ties in nicely with a calendar project I had to make for the<span style="color: red;"><a href="http://sarahhurley365.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/stencils-and-doodle-doll-colouring-fun.html"> <b>Sarah Hurley</b></a></span> inspiration 365 blog page. Every month I design it around how I'm feeling or a little reminder to me (it's proudly pinned on my notice board) and<b> FOCUS</b> seem perfect...again fate!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But that is not all, this happened too!While I was down in Coventry I won a bag of goodies and inside were camera/photograph themed stencils designed by Ronda Palarazzi. Again fate!!</div>

Hello how are you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week I decided to hang up my playleader uniform to focus more on my design work so I now have a new badge! Well if I'm honest it's not exactly an actual real life badge but if I did have one it would say Clare Brown Designer. How scary but exciting is that? I've swapped crafting with 30 children and their carers to just with me and a cat, sometimes two for company lol. So you could say it's a lot quieter than I'm used too, well up until my two little little monkeys come home from school ha ha. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of exciting things happened this week, worked my little socks off to get a project finished ahead of time, preparing for a blog hop that the lovely Jennifer Grace asked me to join. It starts tomorrow so please come back so you too can join in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's also that time again when I create a calendar for the <b><a href="http://www.sarahhurley365.com/">Sarah Hurley 365</a></b> blog. Here's a little sneak peek!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Although it's been an awesome day it's been a head down and get on with kind of day too. I'm also just back from a 7 mile run so my bed is calling, after a shower of course lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I don't see you over on the Sarah Hurley blog I hope you can join in the blog hop tomorrow but for now hope you have a great day whatever you have planned.</div>

Hi how are you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe it's been over a week since #creativeexchanges, I've been busy playing catchup and going over my notes, which I can tell you there are pages and pages lol The next stage was to make a plan of action and act upon it, seeing instant improvements makes me very happy! Others will take a bit longer but that makes me happy too as it's a step in the right direction.<br />
<br />
So tonight I'll be sharing my amzing time during a workshop demonstrated by the lovely and very talented Sara Naumann, on behalf of IndigoBlu. Sara is such an inspiration and I have learned so much from her throughout the event.<br />
<br />
I have never attended a workshop before never-mind an <a href="http://www.indigoblu.com/">IndigoBlu</a> one so you can forgive for being a bit nervous but there really was no need. It was also my first ever experience using paints and Mega-flakes but it won't be my last. I embraced this new and exciting experience and lived in hope of doing these amazing products justice, I think I passed....<br />
<br />
I love this picture of my amazing friend Jaine and what a way to start a workshop lol<br />
<br />

Below is my first card that I created using the <b><a href="http://www.indigoblu.com/kits-c9/indigoblu-flitterglu-starter-kit-no-box-p256">FlutterGlu starter kit</a></b> with Mega-Flakes (<b><a href="http://www.indigoblu.com/flakes-glue-c12/flakes-c19/indigoblu-megaflake-winter-dawn-p455">winter dawn</a></b>) following Sara's instructions. I'll warn you, there's a little stopper on the FlutterGlu bottle that you need to pull out carefully, else it will fly everywhere!<br />

Next up was playing with the <b><a href="http://www.indigoblu.com/ink-pads-pens-paint-c10/english-cottage-artists-acrylic-paint-emerald-city-metallic-60ml-p1101">English Cottage Artists Acrylic</a></b> paints eeeeeep! and the <b><a href="http://www.indigoblu.com/rubber-stamps-c3/a5-rubber-stamps-c5/limor-circles-a5-red-rubber-stamp-part-of-the-limor-webber-signature-range-by-indigoblu-p1210">Limor Circles</a></b> stamp set. Being a pink kind of girl I was eager to try out the vibrant pink colour but tonight was all about getting out of my comfort zone so instead I opted for the green called Emerald city, what a fabulous name! It was amazing and you wouldn't believe how quickly the paint dried, I'm still in shock! No grabbing the heat tool or waiting hours for it dry. So guess what my next purchase will be hee hee.<br />
<br />
I love the effect of the metallic paint and the shimmering colours of the Mega-Flakes, it's a magpies heaven.<br />

Hello and welcome to my blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a super fun project to share with you and I have to say I loved every minute of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like most people I know I lead a rather busy life which is just the way I like it. I'm a mum to two gorgeous wee boys and wife to my husband who works very hard and very long hours to support his family. For fun I love to craft obviously lol and I'm also passionate about designing my own stamps. I also run, a lot! lol This month I will be starting my marathon training for my first ever marathon race in July, eeeeeep!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So to fit in all the things I love, everything is planned, I don't do disorganised. So this year I decided it was about time I got a filofax which had to be pink....it's my colour hee hee. It's fab but the pages I thought looked a bit blah so the crafter in me decided to bring it to life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a little sneak peek of my Filofax, doesn't it look great? If you pop on over to the Sarah Hurley 365 blog <a href="http://www.sarahhurley365.com/">HERE</a> you will see the rest.</div>

Good afternoon how are you? Are you having a fab day?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kick started my morning with a project for my post over on the Sarah Hurley 365 inspiration blog page. It's bursting with projects and a must see for all crafters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I worked on some stamp designs, it wasn't the plan but when an idea pops into my head I really must grab my sketch book and start doodling or anything else that's paper like close to hand. They really do just start off as scribbles but the more I work with them the more they come to life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a close up of an art journal page I created for my March calendar. Sarah has designed a calendar template which is FREE so you too can join in the fun. I'd love to see what you create.</div>

Nothing for weeks then two posts in one week ha ha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back with a journal page which I have decided is going to be my 'Try Something New' this year. I've been a huge admirer of journal pages for a while now, I think seeing Jaine's amazing work has a lot to do with it too. I need to be braver when it comes to my work. and this is the first step.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's without a doubt I had thee most amazing time creating this and I've caught the journaling bug for sure. It was the perfect way to spend my chilled out Saturday afternoon and colouring in is always fun when you have these cute Charm Street stamps designed by Sarah.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here it is my first proper attempt and breathe........ lol</div>

As a newbie I have so much to learn but there are no rights or wrongs in art and you either like it or not and that's okay as we all see things differently.</div>

Morning all,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Judging by the weather the last few days winter is finally here brrrrrrr!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a crazy busy time lately with so much going on, between sketching new stamp designs for 2105 and projects for the up and coming Sarah Hurley Lookbook eeeeeeep! Also now that the challenges have ended the design team have also been busy creating some new and exciting content for the blog. So it's full steam ahead for the Sarah Hurley design team.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm sharing my monthly project life post for the 365 blog, this time with week 6.</div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Happy Friday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Things are certainly looking a lot different around here after a long overdue makeover. It's not that I didn't have time or couldn't be bothered I just didn't know how. A huge part was down to the fact that I'm not that technically minded and stuff like this scares me. But I've become a little braver these last few months and was ready for a challenge! lol</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"> So you can forgive me for smiling ear to ear and feeling slightly smug at what I achieved, never could I have imagined designing my own header.....ever!</span></div>

Afternoon all!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I honestly can't believe how quickly the weekend went by and for me it was a pretty special one. Yesterday I completed my second half marathon and achieved a pb woo hoo! The walk back to the car seemed to take a lifetime and today I'm a little achey, but it's a good kind of pain lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also had a meeting with my amazing friend Sarah Hurley which could have been a tad different, as just prior to it I had the hiccups oooops! I always feel so motivated and have a sense of direction after our chats and we always laugh......lots! so that makes me happy too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I'm sharing with you a card I made for Sarah's <span style="color: orange;"><a href="http://www.sarahhurley%20challenges.blogspot.com/">Halloween</a> </span>theme challenge. I had so much fun and it really is a joy working with her products. I am so pleased how this turned out, so much better than I imagined. I'll be doing a post later on this month showing exactly how this card was made.</div>

Today I'd thought I'd introduce a little robot stamp that I designed a year ago. Having two little boys it came as no surprise that my first ever stamp range would be boy/male related. The boys loved being my first critics and it made me smile when they loved '<span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.sarahhurley.com/special-editions-stamps-sid-the-robot-by-clare-brown/">Sid</a></span>' as much as I did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are also two other robots in my stamp range another male called <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.sarahhurley.com/special-editions-stamps-ronnie-the-robot-by-clare-brown/">Ronnie</a></span> and a female robot called <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://www.sarahhurley.com/special-editions-stamps-bity-the-robot-by-clare-brown/">Bity</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's an image of Sid that I coloured in this morning. I'll pop him on card later which of course I'll blog about later.</div>
