A little night owl



It's 10.30 at night not the best time to take a photo.- it's hard to see but the check paper is the same colour as the background of the owl. Apologies for the shadow at the bottom of the card.


Double 'D' challenge    - owls or pumpkins - we don't really do halloween so I was pleased the 'd' s gave us another option. I've used inks and coloured pencils.


 

a little touch of Christmas


making cards can be as simple as a few circles - if you have dies or punches it makes for some quick and elegant designs- I did have one horror moment - I stamped the sentiment direct to the card and then watched as the ink bled- I re stamped on separate scrap of card and stuck it over the mess.




 more circles  -  a stencil and some ink - the green colour looks a bit muddy on here for some reason WIF it's a warm avocado colour.

washi tape christmas





 I've never been a washi tape fan - I have maybe 10 rolls and I was very tempted to throw them out but they took up so little room and it is good to hold dies etc in place. Two made for the charity box.

Thursday offerings


sketch 92



                                                                     sketch 91



 these two cards are made using layouts from John - catch up with him if you love a layout , he also has cutting files . Layouts 91 & 92 are the most recent but he started way back with layout number 1 so there are plenty to choose from.

The papers are all from this 6x6 pad which I love love love - all the papers are different and they are all lovely.

I'm back I think

 My previous post is the first one in over 4 months - even when moving house I haven't had such a long break away from my blog. Coming back is always difficult because you forget the simplest of things on the computer. I wish I could tell you that I have been super busy or solving 3rd world problems but no , nothing so exciting. 

I have tidied and sorted and decluttered until I can do no more and just when I was happy with my little space I had my second covid vaccine and for a long time after I just felt like crap. Every morning it was something different , headaches , sore throat , flu like symptoms, .I did the bare minimum of housework and now that Spring is here in the Southern hemisphere I have to catch up. 

Too much time spent on You tube watching this man with his sketch layouts, if you like to work with a sketch John is on his 90th layout . I did also buy a few stamps in the hope I would get back to being crafty.






It's all about the leaves


 Double D challenge - leaves - plain and simple.
