 Good Morning All

I had to make some quick Christmas cards for the charity boxes so I went Clean & Simple.

I cut some tall triangles from different shades and textures of green and gold  card for these two.

This one I printed the sentiment straight onto the card base and added afew gems, I think there was a little smudge!!!

Then embossed some diagonal lines.

This one has a die cut from John Next Door, one of his older sets.

This one is mounted on to red Mirri card, same as the leaping deer and Johns Snowflake emboss folder.

I will show more next week!!

******************

Here are afew pics of my views in the morning when I walk Rico.

Just as the sun is coming up, the mountains in the west look red.

Then they get lighter as the sun get up more.

This is my favourite time of day especially this week as the full moon has still been visible too.

Something Old,New, Borrowed, Blue for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is hosted by Kath and it is

Something Old

Something New

Something Borrowed

 Something Blue

So here goes.

Something Old - Stencil

Something New - Johns Mosaic die

Something Borrowed - Johns Blossoms die (borrowed from my Crafty mate Val J)

I inked the blossoms with Tim Holtz Distress  pads then sprayed with Izinks metalic spray so they look like I have used pearlised card.

While I was out walking Rico the other morning the sky looked lovely and it got me thinking about the saying
'Every cloud has a Silver lining'

The photos dont do it justice, the silver lining was very prominent

I think the lockdown situation is getting to us all at present, it is for me.

I,m going through a spell of, not depression, but anxiety I think.

I cant settle to anything.  I go in my craft room and cant get inspired, so I half make a card then leave it.  I know I should do some more housework or clean some cupboards out but I cant motivate myself.

I know it will pass, the sooner the better.

Anyway at least the weather is getting better here, we have had alot of rain the past couple of weeks.

On a more cheery note, here is Tess learning to write her numbers.

It was nice enough to have a BBQ on the roof terrace yesterday, I even had to go and change into a pair of shorts!!!!!

We normally have a BBQ outside on the community space outside our kitchen window but that is not allowed at present.

Take care everyone
