Love You Mum

I used the Bip the Bear Alphabet and mini sentiments to create this card.

It's Elementree!

 I have had fun with the Elementree stamps and the Leafy BOW-WOB papers from Clarity Crafts.  Here is a round up of the projects I have completed so far using them - there will be another project on my blog on Saturday using them too. As usual, links to the original project instructions are below each picture.

Smaller stamps in rainbow colours (see HERE).

Bip the Bear Wears a Sombrero

I coordinated the colours on this Bip the Bear card with some ribbon from my stash.

October PTC - Autumn Leaves / Orange

 I recently bit the bullet and decided it was time to join in with the PTC (Parchment Trading Card) swap over on Clarity Crafts Mini Makes and ATCs.  The prompt for October is Autumn Leaves and the colour is orange.  This was my first ever PTC.

October ATC: Words/Orange

 I really like the fact that the prompts for the month's ATC swap on Clarity Crafts Mini Makes and ATCs are released before the the list of pairs is announced.  That way I can get ahead and be prepared to post mine out at the start of the month.  The prompt for October was words/orange and this is what I ended up with.

Bip's Many Hats!

I focussed on Bip's hats from the stamp set Bip the Bear Wears Many Hats stamp and mask set, to create this colourful card.

WOYWW 853/73: Crafting With A Difference

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

Another desk with a difference today.  I have taken to doing jigsaws and this is the latest one ready to be sorted.  We pass them round in our family and this is one that I got for Mum for her birthday last year.

I finally completed the one that was a gift from Eva a while back and which I will pass on to Mum.  I bought a few at Lidl at the weekend then realised I would need a bigger board - so I have ordered one.  I will then be able to work on two at once.

Eva and I took part in a workshop with Tilly Tea Dance on Saturday and this was the result.  It was good to meet up with Twiglet too, although if I had known it was her birthday the following day I would have brought a card!

I met up with a group of retired former colleagues yesterday lunchtime from my very first teaching job.  I hadn't seen most of them for nearly 30 years so it was really good to catch up.  

Later today I am heading to Lichfield for the U3a showcase.  It is the first time I have been able to play for this as previous years I was at work.  I love retirement.

Stay safe everyone and Happy WOYWW.
