Let me kiss it better

As I promised.... this one makes the change and is my last post for September.
I found October Afternoon papers in my New Forest craft shop, Emerald Crafts. Splendid paper!

Supplies:

DP: October Afternoon, Making Memories ledger paper

Stamps: Kanban

Colours: Copics and Distress ink

Embellies: flowers; Making Memories, button; Papertrey Ink, brads: Basic Grey, MS borderpunch.

Seriously...

... the next one won't be a Christmas card. I promise. Just sit this one out and the next one will be different. I do like this little snowman from Whiff of Joy an I am particularly keen on these papers. So this is a romantic one...

Good morning,

A rainy Thursday, but nothing can spoil the fun, as I have the day off work.

I have another Christmas card to share and I 'm sorry if you 're not in the mood just yet...

I have a lot to make for this season and I haven't scratched the surface yet.

I have a few stamped images ready, all coloured with watercolours. Although I had a limited color palette, I think they came out alright. They have to look a bit vintage/ shabby.

Supplies:

Stamps: Whiff of Joy, Hero Arts, Sei

DP: Marianne design Eline 's Vintage blue & green

Color: Cotman Watercolours, Distress ink, Stickles, Shimmerz paint

Embellies: Viva pearlpen, MS borderpunch, Nestabilities, Making Memories ribbon, McGill branch punch, Kaisercraft flowers, beadcap, brad, Fiskars label punch.

I'm back!

Hello everyone,

My goodness, I haven't posted for more than a month!

I didn't think I was ever going to have a chance to craft again. Nevertheless, we had a wonderfull holiday in the Lake District. I took my craft box in case the weather would be wet and dreary, but we were very lucky and only had rain on a few days. Then I sat down to stamp and colour with watercolours, but didn't make a single card. I only managed to assble them yesterday.

I' ll post a card I was making before we left on holiday, but didn't manage to finish it.

 And this is what we have been up to...

Fishing, kayaking, hiking, fell walking,....enjoying life.



Up Black Crag Fell; windy, with stunning views.



Walking in the Grizedale Forest

Catching pike



Walking round the unnamed tarn.



Walking around Grasmere Lake



On our way to Skellwith Waterfall



Taking in the view, behold the traffic...
