Lili of the Valley - Autumn

Morning, I am still obsessing about the weather - it is really odd at the moment. Showers then sun. I have just heard we are in for a mini heatwave at the weekend - we will see, lol.

This week on Lili of the Valley we have gone with a seasonal them and want to see your autumn creations - it is up to you how you interpret this :o)

I have opted for lovely warm shades that are associated with autumn. I think the colours work really well with this image - mind you she looks fab in every colour combo I think. You can buy her on the website here. I found these fabulous papers that I have hardly ever used - aren't they pretty! Gonna pack them away again now for a little while.

I think this has to be one of my all time favourite images .... ever in the whole world. She is so perfect!

A closer look ..... I am so happy I inked her up this week - can you tell???

I love all the Sweet Pea Stamps and am so happy to have a place to buy them from in the UK. I bought the fab frame and Basic Grey papers from Harrogate craft show last weekend. I didn't realise the frame was so big but it is perfect for these images! Oooh, I also got the lovely borderability dies last week too and I love them on my easel card. The yummy roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts (where else) and the punch for my leaves is available from here.

Remember, you have 2 weeks to join in and you can combine challenges and use any stamp you lie .... but there is a chance to win a special prize for those using a Sweet Pea Stamp ...... lucky things!

Is anyone heading to Harrogate tomorrow for the craft show???? I shall be there so if you see me make sure you come and say hi :o)
