I was looking out of my craft room window last night just as it was getting dusk - what a beautiful sunset - so much for red sky at night, shepherd's delight though as the only thing I can say about today is, it's dry!

No Card Today ...

... so I thought I'd share the two cards I made at a workshop I went to recently.  We have a wonderful shop in Perth called Stampaholics run by the extremely talented Siobhan Fyfe.  Here's what we made that day.



I had a busy day yesterday, lunch, then crafting with a friend in the afternoon and off out to see another friend in the evening so there were no challenges done. MUST DO BETTER!
