Our September challenge has started over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

and the optional theme this month is CAS.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs along with a few random

prizes midmonth and end of month so be sure and join us!

For my card I used a stamp from Creative Expressions

called Above the Roof Tops.

I used memento ink and my stamping board to

be sure and get a good stamp with no missed bits!

The sentiment is from an old SU set called

Snowman Season.

Very quick, easy and clean and simple.

is anything goes with the option of Christmas.

We have some lovely prizes up for grabs too

so please come and join us with your beautiful creations.

I had a good hunt through my stamp sets and came across

a Creative Expressions stamp called above the roof tops.

So I stamped and clear embossed the image in the middle of my card.

I ink blended the sky, masking off a circle for the moon.

I coloured the moon then decided to add some rays which

ended up making it look like the sun 😎 but there was

no going back at this stage lol.

So I splattered some chalk paint for snow.

At the bottom I inked some snow hills and then stamped my sentiment.

I spent a nice 15 minutes making another tag for my challenge

over at Tag Tuesday which is

Christmas in July.

I inked up my background using misty moonlight and bumblebee inks (SU).

I then stamped the images using my new  stamp from Creative Expressions

called Above the Roof Tops in black memento ink.

I added some light to the houses using gel pens

and added some snowflakes using  a chalk pen (SU).

I finished by stapling some spotty ribbon to the top.

I hope you get time to join me. Not a lot of entries this time round!!

Did I scare you all???

Update on Ruth (DIL's Mum).

They have now got things under control and hoping to move

her out of ICU into a ward.

She has now been diagnosed with systemic pneumonia

and the antibiotics are hopefully doing their job well.

She is not allowed to fly home on her set date so will

hopefully be happy to stay with Rachel for a few more weeks.

They reckon the plane journey may have brought things to the fore

as she has been suffering with repeated chest infections for the last

18 months. Fingers crossed this will see her get a chance at a good recovery.

Thanks for all your kinds thoughts.
