A Gem of a Challenge #29 ... photo inspiration

Good morning

Hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend.  Finally summer arrived in Norfolk yesterday and we had a beautiful sunny day ... fingers crossed for an Indian Summer :-)

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since my last blog post!  Even though my blog has been quiet I have been busy behind the scenes with DT work for Crafter's Companion ... all will be revealed on Monday :-)



A new challenge has been set at A Gem of a Challenge and Mandy has given us this gorgeous photo for colour inspiration. Use the picture for inspiration plus you can add black or brown if you want to.




* Card Recipe *

Image ~ Christmas Eve Chloe
Papers ~ Papermania 'Mistletoe Kisses'
Sentiment ~ Let it Snow A7 sentiment set
Flowers ~ Marianne Design Poinsettia die cuts
Embellies ~ Stash


 
* Challenges *

MAWTT ~ Handmade Flowers
Charisma Cardz ~ Anything Goes
Crafty Ribbons ~ Festive Cheer in September
MMCS ~ 1,2,3 (1 image, 2 papers, 3 embellies ... ribbon, flowers, pearls)
Crafty Sentiments ~ Ribbons & Bows

I am going to be busy with DT work this morning but hoping the weather is nice so we can go to the coast later this afternoon for a walk along the beach and perhaps fish & chips for tea :-)  Not that I should really have any because I am doing Slimming World but I have lost 5½ lbs in the last 3 weeks so think I deserve a little treat :-)


Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
