Samuel Taylors Challenge

After 2 days of fog l am glad to see the back of it. Had a busy day today with HW as the 2 littlies did not come today - they have sore eyes and so have l so the drops are in ouch. I am so looking forward to Harrogate on saturday for the papercraft event, l have booked a morning workshop with Julie Hickey from Craftwork cards. I always enjoy Harrogate as it is not too far for me about 45 mins on a quite run. If anyone sees me with christmas stamps or papers tell me to put them back as l have loads l have not yet used. I have a small list lol

Charity Cards for Easter

Hello to you all. Icy cold wind here today and sleeting this morning. Looks like l will need to pack woolies for my weekend away.

A fellow crafter on do crafts has appealed for Easter Cards for children at Matin House Hospice and l was only too pleased to help out. I have made a set of six all different. Did not use the stamps l had in mind as l bought this set from the Forever Frinds range and wow so many stamps for my £7.50, will have to have a look at the rest in the range as l like value for money.

The card:-

All the stamps on card from the Spring Forever Friends set

Coloured with copics

I love the bunting stamp and will be keeping it at hand.

What a gorgeous day it has been today - the sun has shone all afternoon, it makes you feel so much happier . I even went around to my allotment for the first time this year - my little bit of heaven around there it is so peaceful, still had sprouts and lots of leeks and the last cabbage came home with me. Spreading the mucky stuff time now so need to get on with that.

The card:-

This is for the Less is More challenge which is now on wk 5 and the theme is pastel colours, not too sure this will show up with my camera.

Flowers and butterfly stamps by Stampin Up, Sentiment by Penny Black.

Hope you have all had a good weekend x Susan x
