WaltzingMouse Challenge

Ok so this is my first challenge with WaltzingMouse ... I adore their stamps ... and this is the sketch ...

Kind of got me thinking, this one ... and I toyed around with a few ideas but as usual ... what I ended up with was something completely different from what I had planned ....

I counted 7 little rectangles on the sketch ... so I have 4 leaves and 3 flowers ... and of course the obligatory shake of glitter ...

... But no DP ... no ribbon ... just simple stamping ... with WaltzingMouse stamps ... 

So that's me done .... (for now).

Keep safe

Faith ...

I went to the Open day at the Bridge Chapel this morning ... where I hold my Thursday Club crafting class ... The place was so busy and there was much to see and do ... everyone seemed so happy ... lots of youngsters and tiny babies too ... you could feel the warm comfort of Faith ...
 I spent the afternoon tucked up in my little craft room ... catching up on some things that needed to be done ... and then I made a wall hanging ...

... to remind me of the feeling ... and that Happiness dwells in the soul ...

Till soon

Deb ...

Thank you so much for your kindness, your generosity and for caring ....
This is what arrived at my door this morning ...

2 Very large boxes ... filled to bursting ....

With every crafting thing you can imagine ....

... from paper and card ... to stickers and stamps ...  peel offs, ribbons ... flowers and tags ... and much more .... 

All these from Deb Hickman ... a brilliant crafter with a heart of gold ... for me to take to Thursday Club 

for my group to use. Thank you sounds so inadequate ... but it's all I can say ... I am pretty much speechless ...

We had a very full house last night at the club and the kindness of all of you who have sent things is a stark contrast to the mindless idiots who threw several rocks at our windows ... fortunately not breaking them and hurting no one ... but still very scary.

Bless you Deb ...

Birthday Wishes

I'll be off to club in a couple of hours and will be taking this little card with me ... It's for one of my group who has a birthday today ... he is just the sweetest young man .... 

I made this ever so quickly .. couldn't believe it myself ... Well, with a digital image and some nice DP .. all that was needed was a bit of glitter  .... Happy Birthday Michael ....

Pretty Hydrangea ...

I made this simple little card for the new challenge at Picture Perfect Creations ... this is the colour combination ...

I love the blue and green together .... brown, I find is often hard to work with when using such soft colours but the DT as always seemed to find it a doddle and did some lovely samples ...

Here's mine ...

I printed the CS first with large dots for the card itself and then with small dots which I cut using my spellbinders and adhered a pretty sticker ... I added blue glitter to the flowers (hope you can pick that up) 

and added some acetate backed silver stars which I had in my stash. Some brown satin ribbon held by a button brad and that's it! 

It's been a wild and wet day here ... blew the covering right off my garden shed! I did try to put it back ... got out the ladder, the hammer and tacks ... managed to throw the cover back on (boy it was heavy) and then it blew off again! which was just as well as I couldn't reach to put the tacks in anyway ... about a foot too short ... at least! So my roof is now soaking wet and the cover nice and dry ...  in the garage ... waiting for my husband to come home from his trip ... Ah well ...

Have a lovely day wherever you are ...
