Enjoy the little things......

The lovely talented Melissa Phillips has set a new creative challenge using another beautiful photograph by Miss Leslie from "A Creative Mint'"...........


This is such a beautiful picture don't you think? Fresh linen white and soft pastel shades - it spoke of vellum and glitter and oh so many possibilities ....... 


This is my Take on it






 My handmade vellum roses, basic grey paper, stamping done in shell pink ink and a little distressing plus embellishments and glitter 


What do you think?


Have a lovely day ........

Thank you!!!

Just wanted to pop in and say a big thank you to you lovely people who took the time to leave a comment on my blog .... It really means so much.
I will definitely attempt more challenges - your encouragement is so good.


I mentioned in one of my earlier posts about my dear Aunt... I told you that she was just brilliant at embroidery, for one thing and this morning I want to just share one of her works ...
She actually draws the picture she wants or copies one from a magazine or something and then sets to it.


This is one of my favourites ....... I just want to go up and kiss him!


I'm not sure if you can see - but this is also raised - she uses materiel to make the 'chair'.


Enjoy your day and keep safe

Fresh bread...smells sooo good!

Good morning and what a lovely day it is ...


I have a just baked a wholemeal loaf and it smells so very good, but I have to wait until it cools before I can cut into it...... (sigh) ... 
The sun is shining and for the first time in many months - I have my sheets on the line ... another of my favourite scents... the fresh outdoor smell of clean linen... ahhh!


Today I have a card and tag with matching envelope to share - using the lovely Webster's pages. Once again I apologise for the picture, the constant rain and dark days we had for the last month poses a problem when photographing and this set was made a few weeks ago.


I also have another of my little boxes to share ... this one has a mini album inside. Various digital papers, and embellishments on this. Do you like?


Enjoy your day and keep safe

Sweet Spring....

Hello...


The sun is shining and it looks like Spring is here to stay.... my little robin has been very industrious building her home and the blue tits too are busy flying to and fro as they build their nest in the bird box just next door.
Watching the squirrels chasing around it seems as if the sun has worked her magic all around..... love is in the air .....
With that in mind I have a little box to share - this is made with Vinnie Pearce digital papers once again... some flowers and bits and glitter of course. 
Inside is a little note pad....


Have a lovely day ....
