Hi there!

My sweet friend Stella is hosting for us this week at

City Crafter Challenge Blog

The theme is "Fall Has Arrived"

Create a card or project and pick an element of the photo inspiration.

 Stella -
"Fall has just started and yes leaves are falling. But it's also harvest time so that's also a great idea to start with. Or create a view with hills/borders. Just have fun!"

Here's my card

I cut a little hillside, sponged it and added the sweet little wooden houses and then cut and water coloured the leaves in Autumn shades

Ok... So the ladybird was just an added extra ... not really Autumnal... But it's red like the fruit in the photo.. Yes that's how my old brain works Lol!

And the piece of painted cardboard just happened to be in my scraps waiting to be used on something so why not?

This week we have the lovely Andie Miller Guesting for us - Here's a link to her Blog - do pop by and say hello! And hop on over to CCCB to check out the creations from all the team

We're looking forward to seeing your projects this week ... You always blow us away with your talent!

I'm still away so I'll catch up with you all when I get home

Till then have a beautiful week ...

Whilst you are reading this I hope to be soaking up some sun and relaxing in Majorca...

Manuela picked the prompt

"Assorted"

We have lots of those don't we ... Here are some of mine

Assorted little birds I bought for a project at Thursday Club ... Aren't they sweet!

Assorted buttons of which I have tons! I never use them anymore

Assorted sequins - a gift from my friend Stella

And I recently bought a new phone wallet... I love the assortment of images on this

NBUS Challenge

Hello!

Well I'm off on holiday in 2 days time and my case hasn't even been opened let alone packed!

I just had to squeeze in an entry for the lovely Darnell's NBUS Challenge

My NBUS are the Label Maker Sentiments stamps by MFT which I got from Make The Day Special

I did some spray painting on a piece of watercolour CS and added the skyline die cut by Clearly Besotted

Part of my sentiment is a bit crooked ... But the one purchase I made this year that I will never regret is the Misty ... You can just keep on inking up your stamps to get great coverage ... albeit I got it a little crooked

The little kitty was cut on my Cameo and the sparkly foam stars are from my stash.

The challenge ends 18th September and there are heaps of prizes to be won from some amazing sponsors including the kind and generous Darnell so hurry if you are going to enter.

Be good whilst I'm away and be safe

Hugs for now

City Crafter 279

Hello there!

I'm hosting this week's challenge over at City Crafter

The challenge is Paper Piecing

It's an old technique and brilliant if you are not comfortable with colouring images or masking them off and it's a great way of using up your scraps of paper! 

So this week that's what we want to see on your projects

I used the Doodle Buds stamps from Wplus9, stamping first onto my card and then onto scraps of paper and piecing them together

I love the colours you can achieve with papers and it couldn't be simpler!

Our Guest Designer this week is Oribella - click the link to go visit her blog - you'll love her beautiful creations!

I hope you'll join us this week and share your beautiful projects ... Head on over to CCCB to see what the rest of the team have created to inspire you

Wishing you all a beautiful day!

Messy

Good morning!

Time for another prompt at 

Our Beautiful World

This week I have chosen the word for you and it's

"Messy"

At the back of our home we have lots of trees some of which bear nuts ... The squirrels got busy!

Every morning for about a week this is what I came down to... No sooner had I cleared it up then another downpour of shells came... So Messy!

The birds ... they constantly throw moss down from the roof and everywhere is Messy

And me? Well my carelessness caused a messy floor ...

...as I knocked over my box of sequins ... Once they were all sorted into colours, now they are just a sparkly mess

Oh well - that's the way it goes sometimes ...

Share your "messy" photos with us at 

Our Beautiful World

Then I won't feel so bad haha!

Enjoy your sunday

Congrats

Hello and good morning to you!

Friday is here once more and for me it means I can relax a little. Club night was really hectic and I've had some other family issues to take care of... Thankfully everything has gone well

I have managed to make a couple of cards ... As I am going away next week I've been keeping up with DT projects but this card is going to the Netherlands

It's for our friend Martijn ... Stella's youngest son

If you follow my blog you will remember that Martijn came to Liverpool for a 6 month stint to work on his Masters Degree and during that time we sort of adopted him... 

Back home in the Netherlands he graduated with excellence! I couldn't be happier for him or my dear friends Stella and Marcel

So this is from all of us ... the cats included - Martijn became good friends with Ginger cat Lol!

I do hope your weekend is a good one ... Thanks so much for looking in on me - Your friendship means a lot and I had a lovely card this week from my blog friend Greta

Thank you Greta ... It couldn't have come at a better time!

Have a lovely day

Till soon
