Colours of Autumn....
I love autumn with all its fantastic colours. An early start on a crisp sunny autumn day to go for a walk around the woods, park and lake is fantastic.
I put together this layout from photos I took last autumn, and am waiting for the leaves to turn - they are starting to - so I can go take more photos. This fits the theme this week for Arty Girlz and Created by Hand. I combined autumn with dragonflies, I stull have dragonflies flying aroundmy garden, enjoying the autumn sun.

Autumn Is In The Air

Daydreamer
For Tag, You're It, I created a tag using muted greens and blues. I used a stamp by Paper Bag Studios on cream then distressed and inked the edges. I added a strip of patterned paper to the green tag and then added the image on top. I finished with a handwritten title, gems butterfly and ribbon.

Some Of What I Love To Do
This last layout was created at a class at Scrapbook Sisters. I like it because of the contrast between the bright pink and black, this is a few steps away from my own choice of colour pallette, but the blossom on the branches are set off against the background.

Birthday Wishes
For this card I used a cute little stamp I have of a cats face. I embossed this with black embossing powder, coloured the eyes green and added glossy accents. I then added whiskers using nylon thread. I cut around the stamp and mounted on black card. Then used rub-ons to add the wording at the bottom. I finished by chalking the edges and addding to a card base.

Lets Play Tag.....
Here are the rules:
1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

Right, so now a little bit about me:
1. I have always loved anything creative - working in many media.
2. I am a Visual learner - I learn mainly by seeing (rather than Auditory or Kinesthetic)

4. I love cats - am owned by a beautiful all black - Hugo.
5. I aim to visit Egypt, The Great Wall of China, Macchu Piccu, Red Square, and Safari in Africa.
6. I would love to find the time to write a book, pass on my passion for creating.

Dancing...
This ATC was made by chalking the background with yellow and red,then adding some black streaks across, giving the impression of a light beam. I then stamped the little silhouette figures, these are stamps I have borrowed from a friend, I love them and wish I knew where they came from, as I would love to own them too! I then stamped DIVA and added glossy accents to the dancing figures.
