Hello all and I hope that your week has started well? We enjoyed some lovely autumnal sunshine on Sunday and it was so nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy a cup of tea and do some 'pottering' - I keep thinking we've got to make the most of any nice weather as we won't be able to sit outside for much longer (well, not without wet-weather, thermally insulated gear on!). And of course, we've got Halloween and Bonfire Night fast approaching - the shops already seem full of witches broomsticks and pumpkins! And we keep hearing the odd firework going off. It seems strange whenever I hear one to not be looking around for where Tilly the Dog is and checking she's ok. She didn't like fireworks at all lol! She didn't have a major panic thankfully, but I seemed to spend a lot of October and November in past years practicing a sort of distraction therapy with toys, treats, turning the volume up on the tv or radio, etc. But as she's sadly not with us any more, and Grumpy Poppy just glares if she hears one (usually because the noise has disturbed her snoozing)! However, Poppy is far more of a guard 'cat' than the dog was - yesterday she growled such a lot at the window-cleaner!
Anyway, the card I'm sharing today is one I made for a friend to give to her daughter, she loved the Sarah Kay images and the design of card
Sorry the photo looks a bit dark. I've used the gorgeous Sarah Kay stamp and coloured it with copics and pencils
The papers are from LOTV with some added lace from stash. The flowers were made with a Britannia flower die and some added gems and a sentiment tag from LOTV.
And I decided to make a criss cross card design with a pull-out insert
Sorry for the overload of pics! But I was quite pleased with the finished result - and thankfully my friend was too.
Hope you like it.
Thank you for all your lovely comments - they mean such a lot and really encourage me to keep crafting (even on the days when the mojo is lacking a bit!). And as we know, crafting is such a good therapy!
Back soon,
