Hi Everyone, a card I meant to enter the Limited Runs Progressive Challenge, but too late, I've made it with a couple of days to spare, I'm so pleased.  This was the perfect image for me lately LOL. I've made a start on Christmas cards so hope to post a sample of a few soon.

Hello

Hi Everyone, I felt I had to explain my lack of visits to you all. As you may know we are carers for my son, who has mental health issues. These last many months have been particularly wearing for us, maybe our age is getting to us? Anyhow, I want to thank you for your continuing support while I have taken a step back from a few things, but comments will have to wait I'm afraid, for the time being, while I pick myself up.

I have thankfully been able to keep up with my DT work, but I have not felt like crafting and even when I do, I sit here and nothing comes to me. Lots of procraftinating! Family cards have had to be made even though nothing else happens, I make myself do them, the dreaded Christmas cards are particularly difficult this year, lesson learned - start early in the year, which is what I promised myself at the start of the year, oh! well.

I wanted to show you these few things while I'm here.

After seeing our neighbours holly tree hedge, I had to take a closeup photo of them, I haven't seen so many berries in all the 25 years we have been here, does that mean a hard Winter? there were 3 magpies sitting in it (circled)

I have been looking for a while for matching canisters to suit my kitchen, whilst in the supermarket a few weeks ago I saw these and thought them perfect, but they didn't have a labels on them. As they were only £2 each I decided to have them and then made my own labels on the Silhouette Cameo 2 with vinyl. I'm really pleased with them.

Hi Everyone, as you can imagine from my title my DT post today is about Pirates and is for

I had 2 male cards to make and this theme was perfect, for both are West Country boys/men? I still think of them as boys, even though one is 21 and one is 20. They don't know each other, hence no problem making two cards the same. I came across a Pirate speak translation site, I entered what I wanted to say and out came the phrases, handy ay? and as pirate speak originates from the West Country, I thought it was right to use it.

Halloween Howl

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for 

https://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com/

I have absolutely no mojo atm, and had difficulty putting something together, Pinterest, didn't work, until I came across this howling wolf and I thought straight away of him howling at the moon, so I look for a moon and this background paper came up, look for a sentiment and this one came up, so looking for inspiration was actually in my files, whew! I couldn't believe how many Halloween files I have!! including a recent blog hop!

I decided to have the wolf on half a card, so he looks like he is further away from the moon, it works in real life! I cut him on my Silhouette and added score marks to make the texture on his coat. I also added another bat.

wolf - Design Bundles, cut on Silhouette

bat - Digital Scrapbook Studio - Blog Hop Oct 19, cut on Silhouette

halloween paper - Just Because Studio, also blog hop

insert paper - Studio 4, also blog hop

skeleton - Tracey B Creations, also blog hop

sentiment - no info - sorry

this shows the half card and the wolf 

 this is the insert

AND THEN!

as I was going through the files, I saw this a can label from YEARS ago. I had just finished a can of coffee and it had an orange top, so decided to clean it out and add the label, a gift can! whooppee! of -

Worm Soup!

it's from Create with TLC

CAS

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for

The Male Room

CAS is not easy for me, I always want to add more, so I tried to use a leaf stamp and see where it got me. I'm getting the idea of stamping now and knowing that I can use them in any way or position, who would have guessed? Although I do it digitally I never thought of "real" stamps being used in the same way? Strange!  I think this is classed as CAS, at least I hope so. I was going to add the sentiment lower, but a little drop of ink made that it had to be added where it is.

Ranger ink - mowed lawn

black card - stash

Draft Horses

Hi Everyone my DT card to day is for

my image  "Draft Horses"

you can buy HERE

I kept the colouring very simple, I wanted it monochrome, I had an idea in my mind, but couldn't achieve it, but I'm satisfied with it. The image is just so beautiful and reminds me of the farms around us in my childhood.  The paper was a piece left over from something else (a snippet or too large to be called that?) I thought it looked liked grasses to compliment the harvesting.

image - Draft horses

coloured with - Nuvo Vibrant watercolour pencils

die - Tonic pinhole

paper - Craft Sensations

3D - Dovecraft 3D Pearl Effects - gold

I had another go at the horses using Ranger inks,
I MAY add it to a card, I'm not sure about it. I think the background is OKish, but disappointed with the horses.
