Swaps And Cards

 

I still have two journal pages from August  waiting for a new home

And Septembers will be sent tomorrow

A Moment In Time

Mythical Gods and Goddesses

I chose Flora the Roman Goddess of flowers just so that I could cut yet more flowers with the Sizzix.

I seem to be going back to my roots by making cards at the moment,this birthday card is for an elderly gentleman who keeps an eye on our home in Brixham.

The background is card cut with my new spellbinders dies, and the fish and letter C are cut with Sizzix dies.

This  birthday card is for a lovely woman who I hope ONE day will be my younger sons Mother in Law (If only he could get down on one knee )

The scallop squares are cut with Spellbinders and the decorative accent and letters are cut with Sizziz and I just had to add a little bell.

And this is a thank you card for a lady I have never spoken to but she does a wonderful job of maintaining the communal gardens at Brixham.

 

Also done with spellbinders and Sizzix and altered originals inks.

Indian Summer

Here in parts of the U K we  are having an Indian summer,this a selection of photos I have taken in the glorious West Country, at home and away.

Home




Away

Warm temperatures mean sea mist



This is the reason that I always pick up discarded fishing line.

The following away photos were taken in Brixham Devon which I have blogged about before.It is a busy fishing port which recently featured in a 10 part SKY ATLANTIC  series. The narrow back streets were once the haunt of smugglers ,but they must have  been very fit.










I was able to resist searching through these boxes JUST.


This shop selling carved wooden items has been there for years ,but I have never seen the owner sat outside before.Perhaps the presence of TV camera crews may have something to do with it.






October 1st  and record breaking temperatures,it was great to see so many family's enjoying the beach.

As I am not a sailor I was not out with my husband in one of the distant yachts  He and a friend were out for seven hours but as there was little wind did not travel far,
The ferries that cross the bay were packed



And Wilson found a lady friend called Lucy to swim with , this is Lucy's owner trying to persuade Wilson to give him the ball.


Over at LMM there is a photographic prompt RED
so off I went and in a very short time I had taken these.














We used to call people like this Men of the road,I hope I am not doing him an injustice,but he did seem to have some very strange  belongings.
We had a detour on the way home today as my Husband had bought  4 wheels+ tyres from EBay,as his car had failed the MOT.
We had to travel down to Cornwall which is a beautiful part of Britain ,this added about 100 miles to our journey home which was not great on such a hot day. We did not get near the coast but we were up on the moors and at one point we were surrounded by wind turbines all motionless and silent.

and when we eventually got  home another flash of red when my husband cut the grass.

I will finish with some cards I made last week
