For Cath (sans CHA) with Love Blog Hop

For those of you that have never visited the Moxie Fab World Blog, then you're missing a treat.  Cath constantly provides images and products to send your creative brain into overdrive, not only that there are competitions galore.  I was lucky enough to meet Cath at CHA a few summers ago and she's as lovely in real life as she is on-line.  Unfortunately she can't make it to CHA this week as she's got an injury which means she can't travel, so in true papercrafting spirit it's time to give a little back and a surprise blog hop has been organised for this lovely lady by Virginia.
Here's hoping you're on the mend soon Cath.

I was inspired by challenges at:

CPS - card sketches - 5th anniversary day 2 with Linda Beeson

Sunday Sketch & Stamp - #91

Supplies used (all PTI):

Stamps - through the trees , background basics text style, turning a new leaf

Ink - dark chocolate, ripe avocado

Dies - nestabilities, tiny tags

Paper - green tea leaves collection

Card - kraft, ripe avocado, stampers select white

Twine - rustic jute button twice

With lots of love to Cath

Love ya

Sweet Sunday

I treated myself with a lie in this morning.  No alarm clock set - woo hoo.  When I did wake up Steve got me a bacon buttie.  A bit of a disappointment as I'd bought the more expensive thick cut bacon from Tesco's and it was thinner than normal bacon and just fell apart in the pan!  Ah well onwards and upwards.

I dropped Steve off at the cricket club and decided to venture out even though it was raining.  So today the adventure was around Daisy Nook Country Park.  I do feel lucky to have so many nice places not too far away.  Talking of luck, the rain stopped and the swans and geese were on the canal.

So only 8,000 steps today but as I had my ankle weights on it was a good work out.

So home to do some homework but first a couple cards.

This first one was inpired by challenges at:

2sketches 4 you - sketch challenge - although I was too late to upload it!

Allsorts Challenge - strawberries and cream

The red of the strawberries just led me to the bright colours and the gingham is just perfect for any summer picnic.

This second card went texture crazy with the dry embossing and the ruched gingham ribbon.  It was inspired by challenges at:

Meljen's Designs - dry embossing

Tuesday Taggers - touchy feely texture

Moxie Fab World - Tesday Trigger - for me it was the colours and ruffled edges of the flowers that triggered me.

So back to my homework, which I can't share with you just yet, but as soon as I can, I will.  Enjoy the last few hours of your weekend
