Ideas and Inspiration Using the Cherry Green Shoes and Boot Stamps

 I love the fabulous shoe stamps designed by Cherry Green.  I thought I'd bring all my cards using three of the five sets of stamps into one place.

For my first card I combined white embossing on kraft with some splashes of Oxide colour - see HERE for details.
For my second card, I worked with the boot stamps (see HERE).
The extras which come with the shoes and boots make great wreaths (see HERE).
The smaller stamps are great for frames and borders too (see HERE).
The stamps are great for making tags too (see HERE).
I hope you are inspired to have a play with these fabulous stamp sets.

Daily Drawings: One Month Down

 I am pleasantly surprised how quickly I got back into the swing of a daily drawing in 2023 as I had last year off.  Here are the drawings for the second half of January.

I am continuously working on this.
A wooden spoon is good for stirring lol.
How we all feel sometimes.
Love these!
A definite need at the moment.
And one of these too.
I would love one like this for my bracelet.
The first thing which came to mind for this prompt.
A memorable front cover.
A quick and simple response.
Another quick sketch.
My sister and nephew love this!
Not my best work.
Always thinking of buried treasure lol.

WOYWW 713: Feeling Fitter

I can't believe it is the first WOYWW post of February already.  Please pop across to Stamping Ground where julia can explain more.  After the drama of last week, I am feeling fitter this, and returned to work last Friday after three days in bed.  Made it through to the weekend and kept things light on the stomach.  More or less back to normal now although, sadly, #3 son went down with the same issue last Thursday evening.

My desk shows my finished pages for January's #dailydrawing2023 although some of them have been decidedly basic over the last week for obvious reasons.
Thanks for all the good wishes last week - I will try to do better at visiting this week.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.
