Autumns last smile..

 Happy Sunday everyone, 

How are you all ..?? 

Extra family commitments have kept me away from my creative space 

this month but the extraordinary mild weather has enabled me to 

get ahead with outdoor jobs between work and appointments. 

I discovered my Cosmos and Mallow still in flower, 

as tall as my garden fence still attracting the odd Bee.. 

Orange fungi has taken refuge in my herb pots.. 

I'm no forager so i'll leave them to hide in the shade. 

Which leads me to a double page journal spread inspired by those

glorious Autumnal blue skies, trees stripped bare surrounded by 

a carpet of rusty leaves, it's a breathtaking sight to behold. 

Thanks to Jo 😊 (smile) these die cut distress oxide 

dipped leaves made a grand addition to this baron page..

They gently swept in on the breeze.. 

Being Autumn born, I feel a deep rooted bond to this Season

but as she fades, colder weather and Winter approaches, 

i'll be very sad to see this magical season pass by..

Wishing you all a safe, 

cosy and creative week ahead. 

Tracey xx

Challenge #116 ~ Paperbabe Stamps Birthdays Theme

Hello everyone, 

It's Paperbabe Stamps #116 Challenge time 

with this fortnights theme *Birthdays*... 

Everyday is a Birthday and I can think of no better time than 

NOW to share the love and appreciation of a friend or loved one 

by creating a little something to celebrate their special day. 

Here's what I created and how it came to be.. 

I came across this distress oxide background amongst my scraps pile. 

 I love how those cracks appear so strong through the crackle paste 

when pushed through one of my favourite Paperbabe Iso Fun Stencil.

The colours were a perfect match for my latest Paperbabe design 

using the Dinky 3/4 View stamp teamed with the Micro Fringe template.

stamping flowers from the Flourishing Hair Set help adorn her outfit 

with a little bit of bling to balance that scrummy gold crackle paste..

As if she awaits her destiny this A5 mixed media journal page may well 

turn into a card topper as the Birthday Wishes sentiment quietly awaits.

Come see what the rest of the DT have created to inspire you 

and *Please* share your stamped Birthday creations with the team 

over HERE you DO NOT have to use Paperbabe Stamps to join in...

Stay safe & keep creative everyone 

Sending light & good wishes your way

Tracey xx
