Colours of the Autumn

 I bought myself the latest copy of Simply Cards Magazine with these lovely Autumnal trees, leaves and sentiment stamps

And I teamed them up with a Hunkydory background sheet that I bought at my recent charity shop haul.

to make these Autumn themed cards - won't be long now til the leaves start falling off the trees!

More Charity Shop Bargains

 Popped in to one of my favourite charity shops for St Elizabeth Hospice and found loads of card making stuff!

I picked up loads of Hunkydory shopper sheets in a whole variety of styles

A complete cardstock pack from Hunkydorys Watercolour wings selection, retails at £12.99 - pleased about this, as I already have the matching topper deck.

A large pack of embellishments and toppers from Craftwork Cards

Plus some cute Christmas card kits and lots of Christmas banners from Lakeland  - all for £5.00. The first cards that I made all featured birds. 

Buttons and Bows

 

I have added a few buttons and bows to some of the images from the Hunkydory Topper pads I bought recently to make some quick vintage style cards for the charity box. It was all that I felt like doing in the hot, humid heat we had last week.

Pokemon Go

 I mentioned a couple of years ago on this blog about my love of the Pokemon Go game, and its still going strong!  As I don't have a dog, its a good excuse to go out for a walk and collect Pokemon instead. 

I am surprised how many 'older' people like myself play it regularly too - its not just for the kids!

Charity Shop Bargains

I ventured out to one of my local charity shops this week and picked up these 4 Hunkydory little books for only £2.00 each! Normally they are £8-£10 each and only have a couple of toppers used, so great value.

There were lots more books there, but I left them for some other crafter to pick up and enjoy.

The books were Vintage Lace, Charming Chaps, Twilight Kingdom and Florals - and so cover many different styles and occasions. I will have great fun using them in the future!
