Shades of Autumn at We Love Stamping

Today is the start of the October Challenge at

 We Love Stamping

The theme is Shades of Autumn (Anything Goes is also welcome).

I had the best time making my card.

It was the perfect opportunity to use some of my inks (turns out I have a lot!!) to make this tent fold card using  Crafters Companion Spring Wreath stamp & die set. The wreath is made up of multiple numbered stamps that created lovely layers that I then die cut. For a little more interest I stamped some of the foliage stamps on the base and added the die cut wreath on foam pads for some height.

Two prizes, stamps and stencil from Sweet Poppy

    

 

 

Anything Autumn at Allsorts

 Happy Saturday everyone. I hope that the week has been kind to you and that you have something nice planned for the weekend.

I am delighted to be here to share my DT piece for the new challenge at

where the optional theme, chosen by Christine, is

🍂 Anything Autumn, Anything Goes is also most welcome.

I love card making but I do like to dabble in making little wallet/folio keepsakes and the one I am sharing today is a lovely kit from Angela Kerr Designs. It's called Rustic Reflections.

It was relaxing to make, I really enjoyed the fussy cutting and followed a You Tube tutorial on the construction. It's full of pockets, flips and tucks that contain tags, tickets and little journal cards featuring autumnal colours and images.

2 prizes of Penny Black stamps, stencil and stickers from Buddly Crafts

Thank you for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you.

See you soon xx

Favourite Sport at AYLI

 It's all about Sport today at

We would love to see your projects sharing your favourite Sport (and why).

It will come as no surprise that my favourite sport is anything that involves a horse. during the summer months I love nothing more than going to agricultural shows and watching the equestrian events. 

In support of that I had a hunt through my stamps and couldn't actually find anything suitable except this sweet stamp that I coloured with Promarkers. It was the first horsey stamp that I bought from Buddly Crafts called Charley with Willow. The gorgeous paper background is very old and is Marianne Designs, Elines Beach House.

I am sure that pony has just put on a brilliant performance and his prize is the apple!

Thank you for dropping in xx

We Love Stamping mid way

 Hello everyone. I am here today with my mid way inspiration for

We Love Stamping Challenge Trees and Leaves

 that is still current, so there is time to add an entry or two!!

I used a wood mounted rubber stamp this time (I think it might have been a Judykins one) and painted it with shimmer paint which as usual you are unable to see in the photo, which happens to be particularly bad on this occasion!! The sentiment is from a very old clear set by Lili of the Valley. Mounted on silver board and some purple glitter.

Connor and Amelia's Wedding last weekend was wonderful.

Here are the happy couple 

Of course cricket featured...a LOT and each table had a pitch related name

each guest was asked to sign the bat on their table as a keepsake for Con and Amelia.

Me with my best girl Mollie and best boy Jackson

who were excellent all day, along with the other bridesmaids.  I am pleased to report that the heels were surprisingly comfortable!!

Thank you for your visit. See you soon x

Thinking of You/Sympathy/Get Well at Allsorts

Hello everyone. Gail is hosting over at Allsorts and has chosen the optional theme of

Thinking of you/Sympathy/Get Well (anything Goes also most welcome too)

Here is my take on the theme...

I used my Concord & 9th Beautiful Branches stamp set. I was a bit dubious about using white ink on Kraft card but amazingly it worked. It's rare that I use elements from one stamp set but on this occasion it was a perfect combination.

Prizes from

Highlight Crafts three die sets plus reflections and paper

There's much excitement today  chez Wills as we are getting our glad rags on and celebrating the marriage of our youngest Son, Connor, to Amelia. Mollie is one of six bridesmaids and Jackson is being a page boy (he says he is going to be a good boy not a page boy!!). It's been a long time since we have attended a wedding so are very much looking forward to the day. I am even wearing heels!!

I'll see you when I do with some pics!! xx
