Sheltering Tree

By
I've had the Sheltering Tree set for a while now - since the first time I was a Stampin' Up demonstrator - and it's still in the current catalogue - yay!
I've not used it much so I thought I'd dig it out and have a play.

The challenge I have found for this card is


I decided on a diagonal line: Summer, Stamp or Digi and Embossing wet or dry.



This scene depicts a summer meadow with lots of flowers, leafy green trees and children's play things. A swing and a bike were always a part of my summer school holidays!
My embossing is of the dry kind. There are some fluffy clouds embossed on the blue background card stock.

I really should use this set more - it's so lovely!
That's it for today. It's gone 10pm and it's been a long one.
I went to hospital to see a rheumatologist and I've been told I have Fibromyalgia, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and flat feet. I'm feeling a bit of a wreck right now - time for bed I think!
See you soon xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting.
