Morning readers,
Well, wasn't yesterday INTERESTING? It was wet and it was really windy round here. I was walking to the village, to meet a friend for coffee, but I chickened out and got a lift from hubby - I don't mind getting wet on the way home but ... on the way out? Not so much! Nice catch up, my pal's been poorly so it was good to see her looking a little better.

Two great projects here Kathy.
Love the grungy birthday card in your signature colour.
Loving the inky ATC with its positive sentiment xxx
I love the masculine card and the stars look great Kathy, and perfect in just the two colours with a good size sentiment to finish it, then the ATC, and a super stencilled and stamped background with the added numbers and a lovely sentiment, and then the orangy/red splattery frames which really pops. x
You can tell you're a mixed media artist! Love the cards, especially the second one. Beautiful! Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog, I appreciate the love!
Great masculine birthday card -- fun use of the stencil on the ATC - Thanks for joining in at STB and HLS Stencil
Somewhat unusual birthday card but I like the effect with the stars at the bottom. Thanks for sharing with us at HLS Birthday :)
