Well I'm back in circulation for a little while so I'll join you in the fun at
Julias for a couple of weeks. My desk, as usual, looks a bit of a mess, so I will just show you the two bits I am working on.
On the right is a card for my grandson who is wild about puffins, a new challenge each year to do something different, and the one on the left was just a play. I bought a new die from the dreaded C & C so when it arrived I tried it on the first piece of paper that came to hand and then thought, that would look good on cream so a card was created!
While we've been away I made a few cards, playing with fiddly bits and produced two twisted easel cards. This one was for a couple who celebrated their 60th birthdays very close together so I sent them two cards in one.
Then having got a taste for twisted easels, I made this one for Margaret's birthday
And just to finish I'll share a very atmospheric picture of a September morning on the Bridgewater Canal.
This was taken at 6.30 one morning when I couldn't sleep, so I crept out with the camera and got some lovely pics, but oooh it was awfully cold!.
Well thanks you for visiting me, you lovely people and I will return your visits before the weekend.
Bless you all
Chris
You have been busy, some lovely cards, i love the first one, and the pair of 60th cards.

Beautiful Cards Chris and such a pretty shot of the canal. The best pictures are always first thing in the morning or when the sun goes down, I think the light is beautiful then. I am up early every day, we've had a lot of mist and they have created some brilliant photos. Thanks for sharing, Lyns #9
ReplyDeleteIsn't the light gorgeous over the canal on such fine autumn days as we're enjoying. Hope your trip is gentle! I take stuff to do but never do anything but a bit of crochet when we're away, so am super impressed that you have - and the results are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if you've been very busy cardmaking. Your twisted easel's are beautiful and that's a lovely big die from C&C. We watched puffins on holiday in Iceland a few years ago. They were very sweet and very close by too. Your grandson would have loved it.Barb#24

I LOVE those 60th cards!! They are fantastic and quite steampunky, which I adore. I love puffins too, so your GS is in good company :-). Lovely shot of the canal too, very atmospheric!

Hello, Chris, thank you for your kind comment on my blog. It is nice to meet a crafter across the world. My son is doing much better. God has protected his eye sight, thought there's a lot of work to do... I can see that you use your creative talent to bless others.
