Puppies

Hello ... Happy Thursday!

It's a beautiful autumn day here ... breezy but sunny. Where I live there are tree lined roads and avenues and the trees are just spectacular in rich golds, yellows and reds ... It's so mesmerising!

You remember a few months back one of my lifelong friends was seriously ill and I spent a fair bit of time at the hospital... Well, she celebrates a birthday in a few days and I am so happy that she made it. Just before she got so sick she had bought 2 puppies and maybe the thought of leaving them helped pull her back, so it's only natural I would make (another) puppy card for her birthday

I just love these Avery Elle stamps... but you already guessed that huh?

And I'm going to be using those MFT label sentiments forever I think

The cloud dies are by Memory Box and of course there's a piece of my sponged and water splattered CS cut into a little hillside

I'm slowly getting over my bug but it's left me quite tired, still, I have club night tonight and I can't let them down ... fortunately Pat has created a project for them so no pressure this week. I am blessed to have such lovely friends....

Have a beautiful day

Neutrals

Hello there...

Every Tuesday my sweet friend Wen Sylvestre runs at photographic link up where people share all different sorts of things ... 

It occurred to me that most of my home has neutrals... pictures, ornaments even wallpapers so I'm going to try and link up something each week...

Here's what I have for this week

I got this bust a few years ago ... there was something about her face and the imperfectness that attracted me

 Not easy to photograph but still, it's neutral

Wishing you a lovely day

City Crafter 284

Good morning!

How's your week going so far? I'm feeling a lot better and your kind wishes have really helped so thanks so much

This week my dear friend Stella is hosting the challenge at City Crafter

The theme... Into The Wood

Photo Credit

The challenge... Create a card or project and add something related to wood. It could be an embellishment, a woodgrain stamp , an embossingfolder with woodprint etcetera. But NO tree!

I went with some woodgrain paper and a a little wooden embellishment which I covered in gold paint

I actually made this as a birthday card for my friend Pat... Sponging and splattering white CS and I used my Cameo to cut out the word Love

Our Guest Designer this week is the very talented Donna of Room in a Cupboard blogspot

Hop on over and take a look at her lovely creations... And if you are looking for inspiration the team have lots more up on the City Crafter Blog for you ...

Wishing you all a lovely day

Gather

Hello

Mandy has picked the word prompt "Gather" for us this week at

Our Beautiful World

I guess it can be interpreted in different ways...

This little guy certainly knows how to gather those nuts and push them into his cheeks

Then there are those who gather for a photo

...Or to protect their property when an invader appears... The idea is not to give each other eye contact

This one was taken in Mijas some years ago...A square where people gather

For what you may ask?

To get a plate of paella from this huge pan

Link up your prompt photos with us at 

Our Beautiful World 

And hop on over to the Blog to see what the rest of the team is sharing this week....

Have a beautiful day

Another Christmas Card and A Rant

Hello there ...

I'm feeling pretty rough today, like I'm coming down with something... sigh

I did manage to make a couple more cards using my sponged backgrounds - here's one

Is it just me or does anyone else get exasperated with all the new releases? I mean much as I love them I would prefer that companies didn't release so much every month ... Maybe just a couple of stamps sets, dies etc.,

You'd have to be pretty well off to buy everything so if you finally decided on the ones you want and can afford, by time you get them and find time to create something, the next release is only weeks away... And just how do you pick just a couple of things???

Haven't we all got stamps and dies that have either never been used or hardly used?

So I'm still using stuff from way back when ... mixing and matching and changing up the designs... Like this Memory Box Deer Trio die but only using one of them ... He looks like he's blending into the background but IRL the card is quite dimensional.

Ok, rant over... I need a lie down Lol!

Thanks for stopping by ...

Because I love these colours

Hello...

Just popping in with another card sponged in my (at the moment) favourite colours

I stamped and embossed the flowers from Doodle Buds by Wplus9

And added sentiments by MFT... Quite simple really but fun to do

I also wanted to say thank you to the lovely Jinny at Colour Me for giving This card an honourable mention... I'm thrilled!

I hope you are having a good day ... the sun is still shining here

Till soon
