WINTER GARDENING
Sorry friends I've been a useless blog pal this week and I do hope to catch up with you all but please bear with me. My guests left yesterday and we've had a wonderful time. We hadn't seen them for 3 years but it was great to just chill and catch up like they'd never been away and it was quite sad to see them head off and back to Australia. They're already planning to return next year for an extended stay and tour of Europe so that'll be great fun.
Anyway I really don't know how to get my head back to crafting ... any suggestions!!! I've looked everywhere for my mojo and it's disappeared - maybe down-under with my friends!
So I decided to kick-start my blog activity with a card I made a couple of weeks ago and enter it into the Paper Players Challenge where the theme is 'Masculine Birthday Cards' and I've used a Digistamp Boutique image so I'm going to drop in on their monthly challenge too. Those wellies are going to come in handy for tidying up the garden for Winter though the bees and bugs won't be hanging about in this cold!
Hopefully I'll get down to some crafting this afternoon as the weather is pretty glum here so perfect excuse to hide away in my crafty space. Just not sure how the photos will pan out later but here goes with the first one...

Lovely card - the photo is good too. Like the green background you've given it. Very dreary and wet here!
ReplyDeleteAh,there you are!! Beautiful card Sarah-love that image-and your colouring is just fabulous!Love that embossed card base too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely time with your friends-and I agree when you have had a few days off it is hard to get back into the cardmaking swing.
Hope you have a lovely afternoon( crafting hopefully!)
