Morning all, a week fraught with frustration, iMac crashed, luckily the Genius Bar guys managed to recover some info to load into a new machine but takes so long, especially when your not firing on all cylinders. On a positive note an almost instant referral starting with Iron Infusion in a few days, then another consultant later in week to try and stabilise my Pernicious and associated issues. I'm told the infusion will make me very tired initially, but realistically can't be worse than recent weeks, I've collapsed a couple of times so need to get sorted. So it will be blogging and crafting if and when.
It's the 18th of the month which means mid way inspiration at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where we have Autumn themes at both. Prizes come from Lavinia Stamps and Personal Impressions.
As with my last post, with the exception of the last share, everything is from my 'just in case' archives. Above a little forest scene using Lavinia Bumble Lodge, Creeping Vine, Wild Summer Flower, Orchard Grass, Slender Mushrooms, Fairy Path, the large Fairy is unfortunately long since retired but remains a favourite.
For this one an Autumnal wreath (made before I became addicted to my new Sizzix Spin and Stamp) using Ecoline pens direct to stamp which are Tim Holtz Leaf Prints and Sketchy Leaves. Words are A&C.
Tim Holtz leaf stamps again and inked in the same way as above, words from same source.
And I also have a card for Jo's Snow Alert theme at Christmas Kickstart challenge.
A pretty simple little snow scene with some of my favourite Lavinia Hares from Whimscal Hares small and large out in the snow, looking in wonder at the North Star. Trees are Red Pine and at the top Christmas Mistletoe.
One final share for Beautiful Blossoms challenge, this is a new make using my new Spin and Stamp, Lavinia stamps and focal Penny Black quote, they have a lovely Autumn photo for inspiration, I've tried to carry the oranges and blue.

Stunning creations, all so fabulous. I think my fave is the snow hares.
Fantastic assortment of Autumn and Winter loveliness here Brenda.
Sorry to hear you've had such a frustrating week and have collapsed a couple of times. Hope the meds will help xxx
A lovely selection of beautiful Autumnal cards and the winter hares finish things off nicely. The Spin and Stamp must be a great game changer. Sorry to hear you've had a bad week and hope that the upcoming treatment does help alleviate some of your problems. Take care x.
Beautiful warm autumnal colours Brenda,love this time of year and have gathered and dried many different small branches to bring the colours indoors, your Tim Holtz cards are gorgeous.Hope the infusion goes well and you feel the benefits soon after it
Brenda, your artistry continues to shine even through challenging times. The forest scene with Bumble Lodge feels like stepping into a quiet, enchanted glade—so much depth and serenity in the layering. The Autumnal wreath is rich with warmth and movement, and I love how the Ecoline pens bring such vibrancy to the Tim Holtz leaves. The snow hares gazing at the North Star are pure magic—gentle, wistful, and full of wonder. And your final piece with the Spin and Stamp captures the seasonal palette beautifully; the oranges and blues sing together in harmony. Wishing you strength and comfort as you navigate your treatments—your creativity is a gift to all of us.
