Our Beautiful World

Hello...

The prompt today at 

Our Beautiful World 

Has been chosen for us by Riitta and it's Outdoor Activity

This is my lovely great nephew Ross paddling in the sea some years ago... There's lots to do down by the sea... Like making sand sculptures

They are even doing this by our shopping centres now... Of course you could go Kayaking

or even better sit back and take a cruise

...Or go sightseeing

Then there are the more active outdoor activities like like hiking

...Or zip wiring through trees

Football...

...Golf

Or what was my favourite... a lovely walk through the countryside with my dog

Hop on over to Our Beautiful World Blog to see what everyone else is sharing and link up your photos with us this week...

Have a beautiful Sunday

Seascape... Well sort of..

Good morning ... 

It's a bright and beautiful one here and Ginger cat is already out sunbathing, man that cat loves the sun!

I have another watercolour card to share ... You knew I couldn't resist once those paints were out right? Sometimes a girls' just got to paint. Anyway I thought I'd try a little seascape ...Or two

This one is my first attempt ... I'll share the other one later in the week

I used really inexpensive watercolour CS and when it gets too wet it starts pilling which creates those flecks on the sand... A happy accident

I have a 'thing' about beach/nautical themes which I'm sure you've noticed ... I just love them

I'll be back tomorrow for the new prompt at Our Beautiful World

Have a great weekend

Till soon

Mixed Media Challenge

Good morning

I hope your week is going well...

Yesterday Pat came for her weekly crafting session and we decided to get out the Gansai Tambi paints ... We haven't used them in ages, nor have I given much use to the square stitched dies my friend Stella got me

Well, I was glad we got them out and here's a card I made...

There's a Rainbow challenge on at The mixed Media Card challenge and thought I'd enter my card there 

 ...I know there's only a few rainbow colours in my card and I've used a butterfly instead of the optional dragonfly, but never mind
 

The word was cut on my Cameo and I also used a very old french text stamp from Inkylicious

Enjoy your day ... 
The rain has stopped for a minute here and I'm hoping it dries up soon but thunderstorms are forecast later ... This is summer...

Till soon

Double D Challenge

Good morning... 

I'm back today to share my DT card for the new fortnightly challenge at

Double D Challenges

Where team Diane is hosting with an I Love Polka Dots challenge

I used another digital stamp - A pre- coloured one this time... Polka Dot Bella from Sassy Cheryl's and you have seen this one before but she's so cute...

I paired her with some polka dot DP and clear sequins and added a little glossy accents to her eyes and feet

I made her for Ross's mum who had a birthday a while ago

We'd love you to join in with our challenge and you have 2 week's to link up so get out your Polka Dots

Both our teams have posted some amazing creations to inspire you ... hop on over to the blog and take a peek.

Have a lovely day friends

Till soon

City Crafter 323

Hello everyone... Happy August!

Stella is hosting this week's challenge over at

City Crafter

The challenge is to add a sweet treat to your project whether it be a cupcake, pie or by using DP... Hop on over to the blog for full details

I'm not a cupcake person so I kinda struggled with this one but the cat saved me

That rather chubby Ginger cat (who looks like mine...) is a digital stamp and so is the cake, I kind of merged the two of them

We're always trying to put our cat on a diet and he just goes to Mikey as though he hasn't already been fed... Very crafty! So this card reminds me of him - The cat not Mikey haha!

Today's Guest Designer is going to be with us for the whole month ... Please welcome

Davi

Hop on over to the City Crafter Blog to see what Davi and the team have to inspire you this week

Enjoy your day

Window

Good morning...

This week's prompt over at 

Our Beautiful World

is Window ... Chosen for us by Mandy

Well, I may have shared this little porthole window before but I love it ... It looks out on Stavanger in Norway

There are all sorts of windows ... how about lighthouse windows

 

Tiny cottage windows in Cornwall

The ornate windows of a Mosque in Gibraltar

or the beautiful stained glass windows in one of our two cathedrals

Really hard to capture just how beautiful they are

Then there are broken windows...

Shop windows...

And well, La Coruna in Spain has just row upon row of windows

Share your window shots with us at

Our Beautiful World

Have a lovely day
