Autumn Leaves

Hello there,

Happy Saturday! I hope you've had a fab week.

As the nights are drawing in and the seasons are changing, we're back at Sweet Stampin with a very fitting challenge. This week we'd like to see your projects featuring/inspired by autumn leaves.

Now, I'll be the first to admit that I find this challenge.......well, rather challenging. Apparently I do not have many images featuring leaves within my stash (in fact I had none).....and so I was going to make a card inspired by the colours autumn leaves, but then I discovered this little cutie....

On first glance a squirrel wearing a dress, drinking tea might be an odd choice for a card. However, when I was a Brownie leader my name was Squirrel (there were already several "Owls" in the pack!).....plus of course I drink a lot of tea!

As well as the leaves on the Squirrels dress, I have used autumn colours on my card.

To see more autumn leaves inspiration pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog to take a peek at the DT cards. While you're there you can read all about our fab sponsor this week....

If you're looking for something else to read this weekend, why not take a peek at my afternoon tea blog (I promise lots of drool inducing photos)

Valentines with a little twist!

Well hello there!

A cheeky late Sunday evening post to finish off a fab weekend! This weekend I have entertained lots of friends...Jake and Kirsty came over for dinner on Friday evening, I cooked us up a Chinese feast! Then my sister and my best friend came to visit yesterday...we went to a local wine tasting which was so much fun, and then we had a good old fashioned girlie sleepover! Lots of food (yes more food!), drink and a chick movie!

I've also spent time in my craft room this afternoon and managed a quick visit to my favourite antiques shop....I am well and truely relaxed and content right now!

Soooo...its that lovey dovey week...Valentine's Day is just days away. I've created a Valentine's Day card with a slight difference...there is no red or pink on my card....

 

Hee, hee! I love a good sentiment on a card!

 

This cheeky chappie has been created out of various brown papers, with a googly eye and some details added in Promarkers and a white pen. My Squirrel's leg and arm is attached with 3D sticky pads to give him some dimension.

 

I have written my sentiment onto the card and added faux stitching around the edges.

 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 

Allsorts - Valentines

Crazy 4 Challenges - hearts with no red or pink

The Squirrel & The Fox - Love

Challenges 4 Everybody - anything goes

 

Pop by both of these blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created this week!

 

Thanks for popping by today...its lovely to see you!
