Notepad Cover

Morning and a new "No Cards"challenge blog "Unique Art Expressions"is into its third challenge which is "Fruit", now the only fruit stamps I have are the slices of lemon on a Visible Image stamp set so hope these are okay.Sorting through my oddments box I found a looks like a smooshed background with the right colour so stamped the glass,sentimen and two slices of lemon,the stamped two more on the offcut,added colour with a promarker and added glossy accents.I also found three small notepads I bought must be three yearts ago and decided to cover one which was the reason I originally bought them-still better late than never.

Autumn Colours on a Christmas Card!

Morning and time for the mid month inspiration post for the ATG/Autumn Colours challenge at

Stamping Sensations and yes another Christmas card!

We will be announcing some challenge changes, so please make a note to check our new challenge post on 5th November.

I used three stamps from a Pink Frog stamp set,coloured with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils.I stamped onto a background I made with three oxide colours on a stamping block and sprayed with water-made about six so more to come lol.Distress ink round the edges and matted onto kraft.The Robin circle sentiment is a stamp from an AALL&Create stamp set.I used inspiration from here for the background.

Just to let everyone know who asked about John -he has had a check up at Castle Hill hosp they have changed his meds and another one soon for another heart scan, also been referred back to memory clinic to check on his Dementia meds-he says he feels okay but at the moment having more bad days then good :( x x

Blue Iris

Morning and OMG Friday the 13th!!

Today I have a card using half of an 8"square stencil I have-well I stencilled it all then cut it in half and made two cards(2nd one next month) I used a Crafters Companion Layered Iris stencil and used blue again as I has a lovely pale blue one in the garden which didn't appear this year!!! I just used as is as needs nothing else-later I added a thank you for a neighbour who lent John a wheelchair after his heart attack so we could still take him out.
