A Cute 1st Birthday Gift Tag

Another idea using the Clarity gnome stamps that is not Christmas related.  Here I made a cute birthday gift tag.

WOYWW 683: One and A Half Weeks

 The countdown to the holidays continues and once tonight's parents' evening is over the majority of my term time work will be done.  Not sure how many appointments I have yet but I only had 5 for the virtual parents' evening yesterday.

My desk shows me prepping for the next few pages of my daily journal.  I have started working on runs of four pages with the same theme as it creates a more cohesive look and makes things easier.  Please visit more desks c/o Julia, leader of WOYWW, at Stamping Ground or better yet, share your own.

I arrived home from work on Friday evening to find tree surgeons cutting down the two trees that we have been worried about for some time.  They were enormous, very close to the neighbours property and we have been concerned that they might fall and damage something.  Hubby only rang for a quote at lunchtime and they started work just before 5pm - finished by just after 6pm.  We opted to dispose of the wood ourselves at that was a saving of over £600 and a skip costs a lot less.  Lots of chippings for the borders were left too.

One tree was down before I got my camera - we didn't want to lose the magnolia

The second tree loomed ominously over the shed.

Halfway down

Gone but still affecting the fence until we deal with the stump

I shall probably not be visiting until tomorrow morning due to the parents' evening; until then, stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

All You Need is Love (and Gnomes)

Another non-Christmas sample using the gnomes - this time a romantic card.

Golden Wedding Anniversary Card with Gnome!

The new Clarity gnome stamps aren't just for Christmas.  Here I used one to  create a Golden wedding card.

Quick and Simple Three Colour Card

I like a combination of black, white and kraft card and this made a quick and simple card.

Holiday Themed Tag

 The current theme over on Tag Tuesday is Holidays / Travel and I had just the right set of stamps in mind (sadly now discontinued).

Half Way Through: #dailychallenge2022

 And so the third scrapbook of the year for my #dailychallenge2022 is complete.  The year seems to be speeding past ever quicker.  Here is the latest round up of pages, finished off as always with words from one of the four Clarity words sticker collections.

The last of my butterfly and dragonfly pages for this month.
