coffee pot and colour run

Hello Lovelies ... how are you? I hope you are well. I have found a short window of time before we head off for swimming. I thought I would write this blog post now so I can save a bit of time for later!!! I have distress crayon playtime on my mind!!!!

Today was the first time coffeepot met this academic year and my mum came along so that was good. Diana was in charge and these are the cards I made using woodware stamps...

I love this teasels one - the yellow is wild honey and the brown is brushed corduroy onto kraft. I stamped the tesels in sepia.

Now this next one I think is called summer meadow but I could be wrong. The background is done with ripe persimmon distress plus wild honey. I have stamped the image in sepia archival and coloured the flowers in a combination of distress and watercolour pencils.

This one is not yet complete - its the teasels again with fired brick and ripe persimmon distress. I used flick and mop to get the splodges. I will hopefully complete this later.

Yesterday me and my girls did the colour run in Morecambe in aid of St Johns Hospice. The hospice at home team looked after my dad a lot in the last few weeks of his life. We raised over £500 for them - thanks to those of you that sponsored us ... here's some pics....

This was us before the race ...

during the run ...

and after the run.

It was a perfect day weatherwise. And a perfect day smiles wise!!!

Have a great Monday evening!

Big hugs
