Autumn or winter at AYLI

So the kiddywinks have gone back to school and we are in the middle of a heatwave in the UK. Standard! Lots of hours at work this week and it's actually a blessing to be in the air-conditioned office. 

Speaking of weather the new theme at


is Autumn or Winter.

Being a Winter baby I love cold and frosty mornings and sitting in front of the log fire or snuggling under the duvet when it's dark and raining outside. I also happen to have more Christmas stamps and images than anything else so it's definitely Winter for me.

I made this...


I used an adorable Mo Manning digi that I rediscovered when I was making a rare attempt to tidy the workroom. Coloured her and her dog with Promarkers and inked a wintry background with various inks. I tapped a primed Posca pen on a Promarker to get the snow...result!! She was really easy to fussy cut and I added some Star Dust Stickles for snow.


  I am always pleased to read your comments. Thank you for visiting xx

This image really made me smile, it reminded me of taking Max for a walk in the snow! He's not been at his best recently and reluctant to go for a walk so a trip to the vets was in order. One dose of Metapentin later and he's off like a rocket"! Must have pulled a muscle or some such. Still no hay, the contractor is fully booked! Hoping for some dry weather next week. :)
