More Lavinia Cards.

Oh my gosh! Today has been full of learning for me! So far I have taught myself how to use wireless transfer to get my photos from my mobile to my Chrome Book! I still have a few bits to sort out, but I am getting there! Wookie has just come inside and she thinks she is helping me! What she wants is food! She LOVES her food and I always have to hide Romeos dish of biscuits when she comes in because she will happily scoff the lot. She puts weight on easily and so she has a certain amount for food each day. 

On the first and last photo's, the white circles are done with a Lavinia sponge and I used white pan pastel for that. I really like stamping on black, and grey card stock. I think it looks dramatic. The grey card I used here is not quite dark enough for the white pan pastel to show up. Oh dear! I will have to go "shopping" for some darker grey card! 

The card with the 2 Magpies sitting in the flower pods are new stamps from a previous Lavinia release a few months back. I stamped on a piece of Scene-scapes pre - printed card stock. I really like that card stock and need to use it more, rather than have it in a drawer and admiring it! The last card who's some more of the latest LS stamps.The dress and top are 2 separate stamps, as is the Mannequin is also another stamp. I stamped the skirt and top then fussy cut them and then attached them over the Mannequin. Our weather here has been day after day of beautiful clear blue skies. But OMG the temperature really drops when the sun sets. When I got up at 7.30 this morning the temperature was 4c. That is COLD! I think that's around 39.2F. We don't get snow here where we live, but we do get the horrible cold temperatures. I was not impressed with that temperature this morning, and quickly turned the heat pump on! I heated the 2 heat pads for Romeo (Cats hate the cold)and they help with his pain from arthritis. He comes to bed with me at night, and has blankets over him as well as a heat pad he sleeps on. I know only too well what arthritis pain is like, and it is always worse in Winter. Having said how cold it was overnight and this morning, in all honesty this July has been very dry with hardly any rain. Very unusual as July is our wettest and coldest month. Gosh, I hope I haven't jinxed it?! They said the temperature overnight last night (4c) was the coldest it has been so far this Winter. I believe them!I always do a happy dance on 1st of August, knowing that I survived it, and that (slowly) warmer days are coming, lol!

Well it's just gone 5 pm and the sun has almost disappeared behind the hills. Time for me to close the curtains and doors and turn some heating on before I turn to ice! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
