Happy Windsday :-)

Hi all :-) I hope you all had a fab weekend and did something fun :-)

Happy Windsday to you all !! this couldn't be more apt as at 3am we were woken by what sounded like a tornado ! We still have our sun brollies and whatnot out and thought they would end up in the pool ,,, or in the sea a mile or so away ,,,, it was scary ! 6 of our 7 cats were inside, but the smallest one was unaccounted for and we were really worried about her but she came home once the wind died down and snuggled up in bed to get warm ,,,, bless her :-)

Anyways I am here with a reminder for the current theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Challenge blog, this time it is our lovely Heather's turn to choose the theme and she chose

"AUTUMN LEAVES"

We are sponsored by

Sending Some STAMPtember® Sunshine :-)

Hi all :-) I hope all is well and the sun is shining wherever you are :-)

I actually made this for a DT card for a challenge next week ,,, but I love it so much I couldn't wait to share !! :-)

I love this new Simon Says STAMPtember® release Full Card Sunshine die and knew it would be perfect for a special blog buddy who is going through a pretty tough time right now.

I cut the sunshine out of the front of the card and then inked a slightly smaller piece of watercolor paper with distress inks, sprayed with Studio Calico Shine and popped it on the inside. I love the colours don't you ? :-)

I printed the sentiment on the Silhouette Cameo and coloured with Distress Markers.

Thanks for looking :-) I hope she likes it ! :-)
