friends

Dearest Minions,

These cards were inspired by my friends, every one of whom has a brillance and bitch combined in equal measure and without whom, my life would be a great deal poorer and duller. Images from Lisa's Altered Images and papers are basic grey capella.

Thank you, each and everyone of you and that goes to everyone reading this too.

Dedication to pinkbuds

Dearest Minions,

The above cards, which are a departure from my normal style, are inspired by Pinkbuds blog. Not only did she showcase the beautiful image available from crafts and me. But her whole blog is beautifully compiled and really inspiring, she mixes wonderful cards with the human touch.

OK now I sound like a fan boy stalker, but is there someone that inspires you to work on something out side you usual style? Give them a shout out. Spread the love blah blah. Talking of spreading the love, my tree where I hang bird food had an unusual visitor today, a Kestrel decided that it was a kind of drive through. It missed through.

Paper blending and blackmail

Dearest Minions,

I always prefer to make sure that cards have multiple meanings, this could be joke or it could be blackmail..... this was made for a good friend of mine, who is the same age as me and I have photos to prove it and everything!

This card was made using the the paper blending technique illustrated in this month's Craft Stamper magazine. (so much fun, so much mess) The stamp is Tim Holtz.

and here is another one

and one which is a tad blurred (vulture from graphics fairy)

Save our Trees

The British Government plans to sell off our Forrest's, please write to your MP and sign this petition to show that you are against this. Let us not go backwards to a time when the forrests were off limits to all but the rich few. We need to preserve our woods for everyone; man or beast.

Gentlemen, please be up standing for Bury St Edmunds

Dearest Minions,

I saw this out and about in Bury and decided in the Best carry on tradition that I had to share it. Hope it makes you snigger.



Best Wishes

inspriation avenue - favorite month

Dearest Minions,

Inspiration Avenue have asked what is your favorite month. Mine is July, it has a lot of birthday's in it so I get to spoil a lot of good people, we get some sunny weather and everything is growing. July is a month that I look forward to, especially on damp miserable days like today.

This picture was taken a couple of years ago in the Great Churchyard in Bury St Edmunds, I often walk through the Churchyard, which is wonderful peaceful area in the centre of Town. One part of it is allowed to go wild while other areas are careful groomed (we have people in Bury who write into the local paper to say that grass should be 3 inches long....if only they would join amnesty international and do some real good. Although providing exasperated amusement is good for me.) I love the swaying cow parsley in the wild area, which becomes a white shadow in the dusk. I once saw a Kestrel  bring down a fat pigeon through these trees.
