A Sunday Mix

Poor old Hels, the boss of The Sunday Stamper Challenge is feeling a bit under the weather ATM, well the shock of Nicks actually playing along this week will send her recovery well back. Late every Saturday night I check to see what the challenge is and have all good intentions, but then something happens or my mojo disappears and then before I know it its time for the next challenge. But today I decided I did need some 'me' / 'crafty' time and I did have a card I needed to make, so what better excuse did I need than to rise to Hels challenge?

So here it is, the theme was Red or Blue, or Red and Blue, stamping or no stamping. Poor Hels is being very kind and laid back with us this week, in fact I think if it was Green and Purple and made with cereal boxes she would let us get away with it!

I started by using my favourite ever Paperartsy stamp- I have used the smaller version of these Angels a zillion times, and recently bought the large version, which I stamped onto Shrink Plastic and shrunk, so its about the same size of the small version - lol that is Nicks logic - but it makes a lovely embellishment esp coated in UTEE.

It was supposed to be a plain and simple card, but it has turned into almost a mini book. These colours are was out of my comfort zone, but I really enjoyed making this and like the final result.

A few people have asked about my 'girls' as I have neglected my Sunday night blogging about them, so I thought I would share a few pictures of them I took today, but it's a bit difficult taking photos of them on their own these days but now they are free ranging in the garden most days now, this is the sight that greets me when I open the back door

They have all changed so much since we collected them from the rescue centre back in May.

We can tell them all apart, but Bebe who was the smallest and most bedraggled when she came to live with us, was the most recognisable. Not so much now as she has really filled up and at last has got feathers on her bottom!

and the only other one I managed to get a photo of today is Kentucky

Ain't they gorgeous??

Now talking of desks (oh we weren't?? well we are now!) I did have quite a tidy desk for last weeks WOYWW. Then I finished off the Board book, I was doing for last months DT project and then my desk looked like this..

see that space next to the left of the surgical spirit bottle?? That's where I ended up working...!!!

How did that happen?

I'll post the pictures of the finished article in a day or two once it has reached its new home.
