Travel

Hello and welcome November!

I've chosen the prompt for this week at 

Our Beautiful World

The word is Travel

Maybe it will be by air

...To far away places

Maybe it will be in vintage style...

Sitting pretty in pink...

Perhaps this is more your style

How about a bus ride to Palma City?

A relaxing cruise somewhere

...Or a Saturday morning walk around the roman city of Chester

You could of course just share some of your travel destinations with us at 

Our Beautiful World

We'd love to see them...

Have a lovely day

Oh Deer

Hello! Happy Halloween!

Can you believe it's the last day of October already? Christmas is getting ever closer and I have another card to share

I made this a few weeks ago ... playing with embossing paste ... it makes for good snow when randomly applied

I love those deer ... It's a Penny Black stamp and I coloured it with distress inks

Are you trick or treating this evening? It never used to be such a big thing here in the UK but it's catching on fast... We will get a steady flow of children calling shortly for their sweets

Personally I preferred how it was when I was a kid ... Duck apple night we called it ... We had fun, no scary costumes and no way would our parents allow us to knock on strangers doors for sweets... I confess I do love to see the little children dressed up though

Whatever you are doing have fun and be safe

Till soon

Foxy Christmas and More Than an Itch

Hello and good morning ...

I hope you are well

It's a weird title to my post I know but I'll start with my card - A Foxy Christmas card

I haven't been able to craft much lately due to illness and it felt good to finally come up with something yesterday evening... I even got to try my new paints (Gansai Tambi) which I love

The cut out on the card was done on my Cameo and I did a little painting behind it ... The fox is from the Wplus9 set winter pals ... he was coloured using Promarkers and then covered in glossy accents

More than an itch

Those of you who read my blog know that I was diagnosed with eczema early this year and it's an autoimmune disease... It's more than just the awful itch and the problem skin which is bad enough!

There are times when the immune system works so much overtime deciding it doesn't like this or that so eventually it just burns out...

It leaves me with no energy at all ... just taking a shower is a huge effort and I feel so ill with it. That is how it's been for the last 3 weeks until I started to take some anti inflammatory tablets. For some reason they calm everything and make me feel so much better, though I can't take them long term.

I have to go for more tests in a week or so just to be sure there is nothing else underlying but right now I feel so much more in the land of the living and hopefully on the road to recovery.

Thanks so much for your well wishes and I'll get around to visiting your blogs soon

Have a good day and take care

Hugs

City Crafter 285

Hello friends

It's time for a new challenge over at City Crafter and this week Marina has set the challenge to create a card or project featuring

 "Creatures Of  The Night"

Photo Credit

Here's my card

I did some sponging for my BG and added some die cuts to create my scene

Owls are definitely creatures of the night and whilst I don't like my own cats to be out at night ... there are many who are creatures of the night

Our Guest Designer this week is Denise Price ... winner of week 281... Hop on over to the Blog to see what Denise and the rest of the team have created this week

I hope you'll be inspired to join in with our challenge

Yesterday saw the start of the Cat Lovers Blog Hop Here

So I'll be linking up my Purrfect Friends kitty card there

Have a lovely day!

A Christmas Shaker

Hello... How are you?

Just when I thought I was getting over this bug, it decided to hit me again ... I feel like hibernating till Spring comes along....

Anyway.. I have a card that I made last week... Just a Christmas shaker

...Using the cityscape die and although you can't see it I cut it a few times and layered it up so the shaker has quite a bit of dimension

It was so nice to hear your views on my post regarding all the new releases and it seems we all pretty much agree... best not to get caught up in the frenzy and get the most out of what we have

I confess I have bought something recently ... I treated myself to the Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints - I haven't tried them yet but I'm hoping they'll be a good investment

I hope you have a lovely weekend ...

Take care
