Addicted to Stamps and More

Isn't this sunny weather wonderful? We went for an early walk along the seafront and into town and it was already hot by 9 a.m. I'm pleased to be inside with the fan on but I so love to look at the sunshine.

This week at ATSAM it is a colour chart for the challenge and here is what I made from the three beautiful colours. Wonderful samples front the great team there with lots of inspiration.

I made quite a simple card with chalk stripes and paper ribbon I made for the edge.

The little owl was from a set that was free inside a craft magazine ages ago--the mag is called Simply Cards and Papercraft

Thanks for popping in today and thank you to all who leave comments as well.

Love Chrissie x

A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life.

We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
