My last Challenge card for this week

 

Good Morning Ladies,  

Good Morning from wet & wild Wiltshire,  boy did we have a mixed bag of weather yesterday and so far this morning, we had really heavy bursts of rain and very strong gusty wind, Paul had raked and swept all the leaves last weekend but looking out there today you would never know, this strong wind and heavy rain has stripped every last leaf from the many trees in our garden a loads of little branches,  it looks so messy!  Another job for the weekend for Paul, that will keep him busy ! 🤣😂

Our new Simba Mattress, Duvet and pillows felt AMAZING on night one, there was a bit of a chemical smell but I guess thats the 'new' smell, now I usually have at least 3 pillows, I just tried using the new one on its own and it was fine, the duvet with it's 'Astronaut' technology 🤣 is really lightweight which at first worried me with my freezing cold feet, however it was perfect,  lovely and warm,  you can flip it and the pillow over when you want it tobe cooler in the summer.  The huge bonus for me is fact that it's so much lighter,  the old duvet was heavy and painful on my legs  Paul would have to put his knees up to lift it if I needed to turn over.  So so far so good !  

Today's cards are all made using the 'Encircled in Beauty' dies.  The first card is made I made with 'Soft Succulent' card and ink, the patterned paper was from an older paper pack called Harvest Meadow, it matches perfectly.  

The other cards are both Christmas cards, the first is an aperture card, both of these cards look lovely in grey, silver & white. 

I hope that you all have a fantastic Thursday,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
