Evening everyone from a wet and windy Cornwall. It's blowing a hoolie here and the rain's torrential. Before the storm came in we headed out on a boat this afternoon. The plan was to take a trip up the River Helford to Frenchmans Creek, past a house that was the inspiration for Daphne du Mauriers 'Rebecca', but the last trip had been cancelled so we hopped on a boat and took a trip around the harbour with Captains Mate Mat. Loved being on the water, lots to see including a seal. We ventured out as far as the castles built by Henry VIII and then turned to head inland with the weather following us. Definitely cleared any cobwebs away today.
I was delighted when Jo Firth Young asked me to be one of her wingmen for the launch of her new stamp plates JOFY39 JOFY40 that Leandra launched yesterday over on the Paperartsy Blog. I lug Jo s style and stamps, they work so well with crayons, pens, inks and paints and getting creative with them is always exciting. This year we have Skinny Trees and Snowmen a fabulous Cake dome full of baubles, extra embellishments and beautiful festive wand fabulous painted images that pop off the card. I can't wait to make all my Christmas cards for this year with them.

ReplyDeleteHi Jane, thanks for calling by the little old blog. Great to hear you liked my samples. Love love love Jo s latest stamps. Mr Snowman could also be a scarecrow done in autumnal colours and the baubles in the glass would make a great birthday card. Will ring once were both home from our travels. Hope you're having a fab time xx

Helllooooooo Patricia, huge apologies from me for not replying to your past comments over the last few weeks. It's been a wet old day raining cats and dogs here in the Cornwall. We were all snuggled up in Bodmin crafting so didn't really mind. Hope you're well and have had a rain free day up your way xx

DeleteLove your monochromatic treatment on these cards! It's so nice to see fussy cutting of stamped images...one of my favorite techniques. Love seeing the photos of your beautiful country..."armchair travels" for those of us who are unable to cross the pond. Thanks!
