LAVINIA - LET YOUR DREAMS TAKE FLIGHT

Hope everyone in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Thanks to our daughter for preparing a wonderful meal and so good to see everyone together.  I made pies all day on Wednesday to take.

Today, I woke with a terrible head cold,  sidelined me most of today.  Hoping to get rid of 
it quickly.

I made this card for the Lavinia World Challenge # 14.  It has been a while since I
joined in and I have a new stamp which I won in a recent giveaway from Lavinia, which inspired
me to get my stamps out.



White, purple and Hot pink Cardstock

Small Mushroom
Star Burst
Midnight Meandering (Bunny)
Paper is also from Lavinia

I'm entering my card into the challenge at LavinisWorld Challenges

That's it for me tonight.  Going to take a hot shower
and a couple of cold tablets and try to nip this cold in
the bud!

Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a nice weekend..
Until later........

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous sponsors for their continued support.

I'm offering this adorable stamp to one

MUSHROOM HELLO

Hello friends.  We had our first little taste of cold and snow this morning.  Just a
light coating on the bushes and trees, actually looked pretty, but it was really cold out.
Guess we have to expect it, since Thanksgiving is coming up shortly.

I have been practicing water coloring.  I love to color, and before stamping did
decorative painting, but never got the hang of water coloring.  I even took a class
at a stamp show, despite some great tips I learned, never was happy with the results.
So I set my mind to watching a couple of you tube videos and bought a set of
opaque water colors.  Some of the images went in the trash, but I liked how
this one turned out.  I'll just have to keep working at it.





Stamps - Little Mushroom - Stampendous (QS5021
Sentiment Stamp - Stampendous 
Spellbinders Oval Grand Dies
Watercolor paper

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great Friday. Until later....
