Number 10


 Hello, just back from holiday  and I'm a little late with this post. This is my DT make for this fortnight's challenge at Sweet Stampin' which started yesterday- so still loads of time to join in ! The theme for this challenge is USE A DIE CUT, so easy peasy- just remember to include a stamped element as well. My stamped image is a little Wee Stamps cute, coloured with copic markers, the tiny snowflakes on the dark blue background paper and the sentiment are stamped and embossed in white. Background papers from The Works and a die cut tree. As always, plenty more inspiration from the rest of the team to be enjoyed over at Sweet Stampin'. 

Holiday was good- we had 3 days in Somerset, visited Wells, which was lovely- beautiful weather, good accommodation, there was a large garden as well as 3 fields adjacent to the cottage, belonging to the owner- Marvin thought it was heaven! We moved on to Devon- I know why it's sooo green there now- if I say I have never seen so many rainbows in one week you'll get the picture! Blue skies and bright sunshine one minute- chucking it down in buckets the next!!! We did have a nice time though and Marvin managed to get some beach time so all good. 

Thank for the comments you were kind enough to leave on my scheduled posts while I was away- much appreciated and I'll be over to visit your blogs asap- better catch up with the laundry and do some food shopping first though!

Thanks for visiting

Chris

Pleased you had a good holiday despite rainbows, been par for the course here as well the last week. Years since we visited Wells.

The little Miss on your pretty card looks suitably dressed for the snowy weather.

Delightful card Chris, beautifully designed.
Glad you had a good holiday. We’re currently sat in our caravan in North Devon, waiting for the monsoon to pass so we can go out. No chance of blue skies and sunshine today. 🤣 xx

Beautiful card Chris, I love that adorable image.
Nice to hear you had a good hols, and that Marvin had fun, its always about the kids, haha. Devon sounds like the weather we have been having to be honest, although now the whole country is getting battered, stay safe. xx
