Morning all, thought I would do a quick post before they move to scheduled ones for a week or two. Cards for a couple of challenges and some garden photos from yesterday, I should really have taken them on Saturday when it was 21deg as Sunday it dropped to 12deg and a bitter cold wind.
The Blogger issue still seems hit and miss, some new posts show up, others don't.
There's a new Snippets Playground challenge and I knew if I didn't post something today it probably wouldn't happen before we move on to the next one. Also inspired by the pinks and greens in the colour palette at Inlspirational and Triple B Birds, Blooms, Butterflies, I have the Blooms (and Dragonflies!). All stamps are Lavinia along with Versafine Clair inks.
Below my Snippets share, a very simple card using a new PB stamp Elegant Beauty, matching die and Wishes edger word die. Afraid no snippets photo, but the central piece was an offcut from another project, the floral spray another and the word wishes cut out of the pink piece and the top layer placed over to hide.
Below Crataegus Pauls Scarlet, not a particularly good year for it as it's quite sparse, planted about twelve years ago when we lost Buffy, just a sapling then,
Polygonatum, like triffids, they appear through the soil and within a couple of weeks in bloom and several feet high.
Kolkwitzia amabilis 'Pink Cloud has been slow to establish on our heavy clay soil, but seems to have it's feet into something good now as do the two self set Red Hot Pokers, thanks to the sparrows who feed off the main clump of them.
A very early Digitalis in our little Poppy's garden, it's surrounded by Oriental Poppies which are just coming into bud so should have some photos soon.
Tomorrow off on my NHS jolly, see you all again soon, although as mentioned above there are several scheduled posts to come.
