I had a fabulous day out yesterday with my lovely crafty buddy Carol....all weathers in one day...brilliant sunshine..a little spit of rain...heavy rain and then hailstones at Alford didn't dampen our spirits...that's Scottish weather for you.  I'm off to pack up the car for my crafty class this afternoon at Simply Create.   Look forward to seeing all your stitching creations this week and I'll be popping by for a visit.
Enjoy the weekend everyone and happy crafting

    Thanks for a lovely day yesterday Kath. Great to see see Buddy in the fur. He's adorable. We got home at 12.45am. Had a good journey down but rained all the way from Newcastle.

    love the card, but it was even better seeing it for real.

    Just love the card Kath, I thinks sometimes black and white do more justice to an image than colour like with photos. Black and white photos in my opinion seem to have more character about them.
    Big hug for the furry boy

    I absolutely love what you did with this stamp. The black and white looks is so different and is fabulous! I have looked at this stamp and may just have to have it.

    A real stunner with the Black Soot & monochrome. Didn't manage to join the challenge - back to back migraines so not getting much crafting done at present. Hope the class goes well.
