An autumnal bear

Morning Folks!

The new theme over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges has just been announced, it's

FOREVER AUTUMN

This is going to be my last post as a member of the Sparkles DT, I've had a lot of fun over the last few years with the Sparkles themes and I'd like to wish Caz and the rest of the DT all the very best for the future!

Here's my card using one of my oldest LOTV rubber stamps called Bear and Butterflies.  The papers are a mixture of MME and assorted scraps from my stash, finished off with some prima flowers, ribbon and a die cut butterfly (Memory Box):

I always think this bear must be very short sighted!

Best Friends and Toadstools

Morning Folks!

Hope you're all well, I'm just getting over a nasty bug so I'll keep this brief so I don't spread my germs!!

The new challenge is just starting over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. This month our theme is 

THINGS OF FALL / AUTUMN

I think autumn is lasting a long time this year, the trees around us still have some fantastic colours on show. 

Here's the card I made using a recent Penny Black purchase called Best Friends. The papers are very old My Minds Eye papers which were a magazine cover gift years ago! The flowers are by prima and the Die cut is from Memory Box.

 Love this cute pair sat on their toadstools:
