LPoCF 248 The Paper Shelter

 Hello again, 

Well, our local wildlife has disappeared back down the into the valley, after coming daily for some free seed. We have had lots of rain and summer is coming to its end, I have even spotted some leaves beginning to change colour. 

Today brings us to another all-new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by The Paper Shelter who kindly gave our team one image called Everyone can Fly.

I have lost one of my little budgies in the last week, the cheeky boy had been sneaking out of his cage and flopped on the floor, 10 mins later he had passed, I then had to find an avian vet for my other little girl who can also open her cage doors, she has some form of cancer and will shortly pass... not a good week....

Thank you for looking in...

Have a wonderful week...

Dry Embossed highlights

 Hello again,

Our weather has settled back down to our usual summer temperatures here, warm enough for us, as we get few extremely hot days, a visitor once asked us to put the air-con on, we may get 10-15 of the really hot days where I live so we and most homes in our region don't own air-conditioners... 

We have had a family of King Parrot's coming to visit, the male will eat from my hand... I will try to take a photo the next time they stop by...

I am joining in with the lovely ladies over at Group of Seven Cardmakers, this month the technique is Dry Embossed Highlights over ink blending.

LPoCF #246 All Dressed Up

 Hello again, 

We have been enjoying our summer weather, including some spectacular storms, again the local river system for Sydney's water supply was under flood watch, as the dam is sitting at 98% full, one decent downpour across the catchment and they open the flood gates. Some poor Sydneysiders have been without power for four days, ours was out for one day, while waiting on news from an ill family member from interstate, was not ideal, not even mobile reception was working.

Today brings us to another all new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by All Dressed Up who kindly allowed two of the Design Team to choose an image to share, I have chosen Strawberry Patch, I printed the image twice and coloured both, I could not decide which one I liked better and have made two cards. I am sure that I had some paper with strawberries on it but when I went looking, I could not find the one I was thinking of.... so, either I have used it, or maybe imagined it... does that happen to anyone else????
