So... I moved house after 20-odd years. There are boxes everywhere while I try to figure out where on earth I'm going to put all the stuff I've accumulated but in spite of this, the place already feels like home. There's some work to do in the bathroom and kitchen but the rest is just cosmetic, so I'm going to take my time and think about what I really want.
On top of this, the Boy Wonder has headed off to Edinburgh to go back to uni after taking some time out. He's been working for Aldi who have been amazingly supportive and they've even arranged a transfer to another branch so that he can continue to work part-time while he's studying.
Lots of changes, then, but it's the start of an exciting new chapter. Onwards and upwards!
Talking of new, today is the start of a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin'. Our theme is Colours of Autumn so in addition to your stamped designs we'd like to see those rich autumn hues on your projects.
I had so much fun making my DT card. I used a Papertrey Ink kit which is donkey's years old (we're going back to the time when you could occasionally afford to buy their stuff here!). The kit includes linen effect cardstock which has printed spaces for you to stamp and stencil the images. I used a mixture of Gina K and Altenew ink cubes to blend and stamp the flowers, berries and leaves. The sentiment is also from Altenew; I heat embossed it in silver and popped it up with foam pads.
I hope you can play along with us this month. You'll find lots of inspiration and all the challenge details over at the Sweet Stampin' challenge blog.
Have a fabulous week and stay safe!

Hi Tracey- happy new home! So pleased the move went well and you're happily settling in! Wise idea to wait a while and decide what you want before decorating etc...and climbing over boxes is good exercise :)
Your card is beautiful, fabulous stamping and stencilling and gorgeous colours.

Oh my lovely, you have it all going on with some big changes there. But seriously, how is it possible that Boy Wonder is going back to uni?!
Good luck with all those boxes and the changes you want to make to you new home.
This is such a glorious card. I really love those colours.
Sending huge hugs xx
Hi Tracey
Sorry, I missed this!
Happy New Home .. .. .. I hope you will be super happy there. It sounds like you have settled in already, even though you still have sorting and work to do.
Another beautiful card too. I love the effect you have achieved here. Simply stunning.
Love Jules xx
This creation is luminous! I LOVE the way you've stamped all the elements and how they just work together so beautifully. This is a seriously stunning card! Hugs, Wends xoxo
