Autumn Days

It's Jane's choice this week at CD Sunday and she has chosen the theme "Autumn Days". I chose an image from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse CD,  Autumn days should be clear and frosty in the morning with sunny afternoons and  cosy evenings in, by the fire, perhaps with a glass of wine or some hot chocolate with marshmallows of course.

Head on over to the challenge and see the other DT cards then please join us, as long as you use an element from a CD and name the CD you used you will be eligible for a top 3 pick I look forward to seeing your creations.

Remember the challenges are also posted  on Facebook as well.

N for Nature at The Alphabet Challenge

Today's Challenge at The Alphabet Challenge is N for Nature, I chose an image from Creative Crafting World, as we have hedgehogs visiting the garden fairly regularly, living in the country we see foxes, deer, rabbits and pheasants on a regular basis, a couple of years ago a deer stripped every leaf from a young holly tree, thankfully it recovered.

Do visit the challenge and see the cards there.

Imagine

My elder son is just home from a holiday in Florida, bearing a Jim Shore Figment ornament. We first saw Figment in the early 1990's at Epcot in Disney, and I believe that he has loved this character ever since. Figment is all about using your imagination and my son is very creative especially in writing, he has a post grad degree in journalism.

I meant to highlight the edges of both the image and sentiments with purple but had stuck them down before I remembered. My card is to say Thank You. Image coloured with Promarkers.

Inky Backgrounds at BBB.

Thank you to everyone who has been joining in the challenges   at Back to Basics and Beyond  this fortnight we would like to see an inky background.  

This is something I rarely do simply because I don't have many distress or water based ink pads, I was quite pleased with the final result though.The stamp is from Sheena Douglas at Crafter's Companion.

I have been leaving lots of makes without a sentiment until I know who the recipient will be.

We would love you to join in, pop over to the challenge site and see the other Design Team makes , look forward to seeing you there.

Snowman and Rudolph

 A CAS Christmas card today image from PC Crafter sadly no longer open, and a sentiment from Lili of the Valley. Trying to keep a selection of cards flat for posting this year.

We have a beautiful sunny but slightly chilly morning here, need to gather some of the windfall fruit, as it was blowy overnight, it's been a bumper year, I've made about 40 lbs of jam ( plum, pear and ginger , apple jelly and apple butter) and the same of chutney. Have 7lbs of plums, the last on the tree, in to make more jam today.
Hubby has also used 40lbs of pears to make cider, there are still loads of apples and pears on the trees, will be busy with them soon.

Snowmen

A really cute snowman trio from Sassy Cheryl, although I'm hoping we don't see much of the white stuff this year. We had a week last year when it was deep enough to make going out difficult, we live 10 miles from the nearest shops and the journey time was trebled. A light covering on Christmas Eve would be lovely .
