THE SUN REALLY HAS HIS HAT ON...

and so do I, I'm out gardening (well, laying around in the garden anyway) and not spending much time on art or the pc. Gotta make the most of it while it's here I say, the weather is so bloomin' unreliable in the UK.

Still it's early morning and I thought I would post a couple of things that just happen to fit some current challenges. First a little birthday gift I made for Viv and which also sorta fits in with the altered Monthly challenge, Birds of a feather. It's an altered CD and uses some of the new Tim Holtz die cuts which are rather cute.



I have a friend (yes a real one) who comes once a week for a card making session. I must be a really bad teacher cos geez, it's hard work. She hates sticky stuff and hates cutting and I can't get her to use mats and layers. Still it's nice to chat. This week she wanted to make a shoe and handbag card for her daughter but she gave up in the end and bought one. (in her defence she wasn't feeling very well)



I was trying to show that cardmaking doesn't have to be too complicated and these were what I made with some old stickers and stash I found but she just wasn't buying it. However they just happen to sort of fit in with this week's TT challenge. Actually some of the other stuff over there is really good this week - real altered shoes for a start! so do pop over and join in.



I think we are doing something with cows next time, heaven help me..... Oh well off to get my towel on the sunbed oops I mean trowel in the flower beds....
