Hello friends
I'm going to risk it, I'm going to say it...
I think Spring may have arrived here in Kent!
Yesterday I took a few hours off and went dog walking with a friend
to Riverside Country Park near Rainham.
Bella is a lot smaller than her friend Ruby, so she likes to
jump on a seat - King of the Castle.
Ruby is so cute!
Now some crafty stuff...
I'm catching up with projects using the Floral Garden Collection
and this is the front cover of a book I'm creating, the plan is that
it will be an ongoing project for when I'm doing Hochanda shows.
The cover features a frame cut polaroid fashion mounted with 3D Foam Squares.
Botanical Butterfly and a cluster of flowers from Bird on Cherry Branch.
The sentiment stamp is from Creative Expressions.
I simply cut the butterfly from ivory cardstock and used ink to lightly colour the wing,
body and antenna.
Inside I decorated a kraft envelope/wallet with Bird on Cherry Branch die,
one that I painted using iridescent pastel watercolours.
If you purchased my charity kits way back when they first started we created
a similar book and these envelope/wallets featured then.
I wonder if any of you still have that book, it had recipes and all sorts.
The background script stamp is Vintage Script by Phil Martin - that's getting
some use right now!

And...if you fancy a bargain, the Folk Art Collection now has 25% off!
These dies are beautiful when coloured or used alone.
The full range is on the website here.
Take care friends, wishing you a sunny Tuesday.

Yes Christine - I think Spring might have just arrived here in the North but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for luck! Great idea to have a little book for your projects - I do like the envelope/wallet and that script stamp is fab too. Margie x
Lovely photo of Bella and Ruby. Love the project you are doing,
Hi Christine
Glad you’ve got some sun. But here in Oxfordshire it’s dull, cold and windy. So Spring hasn’t reached here yet. Great journal Christine. Love the dies you’ve used.
Great picture of Ruby and Bella.
Hi Christine, We have had rain rain rain again today, so glad that you are getting some sun at last.
A fabulous piccie of Bella and Ruby, and beautiful samples from your Journal.
Lots of love from Patricia xx

Hi Christine,
Love the project, particularly the little bird.
Love seeing your little dog and her friend. We have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Coco and she's 2 and a bundle of fun.
Thanks for sharing,
