We usually have a big family meet up with local family members on Christmas Day and the wider family over New Year. This is our traditional Christmas 2 Celebration. For Christmas Day I try to make individual personalized crackers for every person there. This year I did not get around to it and even if I had we will not be sharing them together. I used the lovely image from Stampers Delights to make just one cracker, inspiration for next year! Of course this image would work equally well for a birthday card too.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So if you are inspired why not take a look at the Kit and Clowder Facebook page where you will find other wonderful inspirational makes as well as all the details for this year's Advent Calendar. All the links are below.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is my final DT make for Stampers Delights as I am leaving the team to attend to family matters. It is possible that I may return at some stage but it will not be for some time so I am making no promises. I may pop up with the odd progressive challenge entry and I will be keeping an eye on Stampers Delights for all the new and exciting things planned for 2021.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Meanwhile I wish you all a happy and blessed Christmas and even though we cannot celebrate as we normally would the real meaning of Christmas has not changed, the churches are still open and Jesus still invites us into relationship with him. So this year why not put Christ back into Christmas for with out him Christmas just becomes mas which is meaningless.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here are the links for you:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #1c1e21;"><a href="https://www.stampersdelights.com/store/c18/ALL_DIGITAL_STAMPS_PRODUCTS.html#/">Stampers Delights Store</a><i> </i></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="color: #1c1e21; line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 15.4px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #1c1e21; line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/stampersdelights/?ref=bookmarks">Stampers Delights FB Group</a><i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/stampersdelights/?ref=bookmarks">:</a> </i></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-size: 15.4px;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.stampersdelights.com/inspiration-blog#/">Stampers Delights Inspiration Blog:</a><i> </i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/kitandclowder">Kit and Clowder Facebook Page</a>:<i> </i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.kitandclowder.com/">Kit and Clowder Website:</a></span></p><div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Thanks for dropping in.

I have really enjoyed my long association with the challenge firstly as a contestant and for the last few years as a designer. But life has got in the way and I need to take a bit of a breather from the teams I am on. I hope to pop in with the odd entry to support the challenge from time to time.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Meanwhile despite everything that is going on we will be rejoicing this Christmas as we remember the coming of Jesus into the world to save us and looking forward to the time when he returns as King of Israel and ruler of the world. What rejoicing will happen then, I believe even more so than at His first coming.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">However you celebrate this year and whether you have a Christian faith, a member of another faith tradition or no faith at all I pray that the Christ of Christmas will reveal himself to you afresh and surround you with his love and that peace that passes all understanding at Christmas and into the unknown paths of the new year. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">God bless.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwg-fBVZooR60S6B743tv2E3sBnT9Uce8GWj25YLvkOL6aTk-VUxJFRl09333fWvBA1uov72gSi_7UWCoOK3wnwqyuRAmBNs2ecoVIb5PuITHJomjOovdbCDDvddrsuZ_oMH_Xz6GU_jg/s2048/DSC_0747%2528watermarked%2529.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1460" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwg-fBVZooR60S6B743tv2E3sBnT9Uce8GWj25YLvkOL6aTk-VUxJFRl09333fWvBA1uov72gSi_7UWCoOK3wnwqyuRAmBNs2ecoVIb5PuITHJomjOovdbCDDvddrsuZ_oMH_Xz6GU_jg/w285-h400/DSC_0747%2528watermarked%2529.JPG" width="285" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><i>Materials used:</i></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><a href="http://buyscribblesdesigns.blogspot.com/2017/11/0150-silent-night-quote-400.html">Scribbles Designs - Silent Night Quote</a> </i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>PSX Nativity Silhouette rubber stamp</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>rectangle dies</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>white printer card</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>embossing ink pad</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>silver embossing powder</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>chalks in blues and yellow</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>silver star card</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>silver pen</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>5" x 7" card blank</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>The image has been embossed onto the printed panel and coloured with chalks using a small foam makeup applicator.</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I hope you will join us in this last challenge of 2020.

But a we reach the end of a difficult year which for many has been one of immense sadness with so many loved ones no longer with us we can look back and remember the positive times too. Many of our themes this year have encouraged us to do that. Last month, for example, we looked at the things that make us grateful. This month we finish the year off by looking at the theme of Rejoicing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Of course Christmas is a major Christian festival celebrating the first coming of Jesus into our fallen world and looking forward to his return as king. Without Christ there would be no Christmas. This year with Covid still a huge threat many have been worried about not being able to meet up with friends and family over Christmas. However, much as I love getting together with the rest of our scattered clan, Christmas is so much more than the partying and presents. I admit I am sad at the thought that we might not be able to get together this year, especially as it is our Grandson's first Christmas and a baby is at the heart of the story, but I would rather celebrate alone than risk the health of loved ones. So our Christmas plans are on hold for a while, waiting to see what happens. Very apt as we embark on Advent, that wonderful time of anticipation and waiting. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">However you celebrate this year I hope that you are able to join in with the angels and rejoice that God's plan of salvation started with that first Christmas over 2000 years ago.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><b>Philipians 4:4-7 </b></i></span><i><span class="text Phil-4-4" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px;">Rejoice in the Lord always.

I originally ordered this image to work with for the start of our Gratitude theme at Path of Positivity but then changed my mind once I got started and opted for a rose image instead. However having been given this image I decided it is only right to use it. I had intended posting it with Monday's post but forgot. Forgetfulness seems to be more troublesome this year. I think it is partly the Covid concerns, partly events within the family and partly just because I am forgetful!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One thing I don't forget is all the things I have to be grateful for. I have already talked about the beauty of nature and the fact that we live in a rural area surrounded by countryside. I have also talked about family and friends and all they mean. So what else is there I wonder! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Life is full of surprises, random acts of kindness can be seen everywhere. Events like a global pandemic do bring out the best in people. Yes I know they also bring out the worst as well but let's stay on the right path and think positively. Our local community has really pulled all the stops out this year. We have had a fantastic mask making group who make hundreds of masks and left them in the charity shops for people to buy for a small, or large, donation. Groups of neighbours have been shopping for those unable to get out or who are shielding. Local businesses have offered delivery services. The food bank has kept going with generous donations from shops and the community despite many facing hard times. A lot of our usual events have had to be cancelled but our fantastic Christmas Lights Committe has spent the last few weeks putting up the festive lights around the town managing to keep to all the guidelines around distancing and safety. We may not have our Victorian Evening and grand switch on but there will be light to brighten up the winter evenings.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So I am grateful that our community is so caring, it makes our town a great place to live.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp62qOKbdoQzmf7L90opWInNpmDuxKhsnniiRPKnXUevbMI22hxWcUHObDFb3wntvE-ytrNwX55Pm8wJKV3Ck84qX5Ck6d4TpPKfLRcdiKUJzL29RBPKd5bAMM3a50FJu3qr7f0iDNUkw/s2048/DSC_0730%2528watermarked%2529.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1382" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp62qOKbdoQzmf7L90opWInNpmDuxKhsnniiRPKnXUevbMI22hxWcUHObDFb3wntvE-ytrNwX55Pm8wJKV3Ck84qX5Ck6d4TpPKfLRcdiKUJzL29RBPKd5bAMM3a50FJu3qr7f0iDNUkw/w270-h400/DSC_0730%2528watermarked%2529.JPG" width="270" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><i>Materials used:</i></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/668151076/daisy-panel-image-no-182?ga_search_query=daisy%2Bpanel&ref=shop_items_search_1">SheepSki Designs - Daisy Panel</a></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>acrylic sentiment stamp</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>yellow card</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>white printer card</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>black card</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>X-Press It card</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>5" x 7" card blank</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>black inkpad</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Copic pens:</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>petal shadowing - C0,C1, C3, Blender</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>centres - Y00, Y11, Y15, YG23</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>stems and leaves - YG61, G21, G24, G94</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>I made the background paper by arranging multiple copies of the image in a small size on an A4 document and printing it off.

Let's be honest here during a global pandemic with all the heartache for those who have lost relatives and friends as well as all the social restrictions it is hard to keep positive. With the year drawing to it's close our thoughts naturally turn to Christmas. At the moment here in the UK we are under our second lockdown and it is anybody's guess what will happen at Christmas. It is likely that we will still be under some restrictions and large family gatherings may not be possible.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Last Christmas my side of the family were able to be together for the first time in years. With nurses, ambulance drivers, telecommunication technicians, priests and veterinary nurses among our numbers everybody's Christmas rotas have been different but by a miracle everyone was able to book time off around Christmas and New Year that overlapped by a couple of days. Being in Somerset all our northern relations came down so ours and our eldest daughters houses were full and a couple of local holiday cottages got custom too.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So for my offering of positive thoughts I have made a scrapbook page to mark that momentous event when four generations got together! This year we can be grateful for past good memories and look forward to future good ones The Snowmen Selfie image from one of our sponsors seemed very appropriate!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Another month means another Path of Positivity Challenge, and boy we certainly all need a dose of Positivity. This month the optional theme is Gratitude. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Now despite all the madness that is going on across the world with the pandemic on top of all the usual human made mess there is still a lot to be thankful for. It is interesting that science is now catching up with what ordinary people have know for ages, crafting and the natural world are both good for mental well being. Last year it was all about mindfulness and being in the moment with a surge of interest in colouring. Meanwhile crafters smiled to themselves and got on with crafting as usual!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This year the emphasis has shifted to the natural world as more people discover the joys and delights a simple walk can bring, or a spot of gardening. I don't think the gardens in our area have looks so cared for before!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">So with that in mind I have made a scrapbook page celebrating our roses in our garden. This summer they have been glorious, even our little Rebecca Claire which is in intensive care has had booms.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">All our roses have a connection to us in some ways. I will give you the connections at the end of this post, just a sneaky way to get you reading to the end!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsK27YgoVx34ukn9bWkaluXBbDE8M6qWZVbM4BNbEzEX3txSUCNyRpJiwuA7O-nFuPrmMVRjr2C1SPa-4vKiV-TuuswNCGgiEW7hYNPvJWoDJBp7zJbRT7KzKTI6H8q0KpYyIkVxEJjEA/s2048/DSC_0663+%2528watermarked%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2041" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsK27YgoVx34ukn9bWkaluXBbDE8M6qWZVbM4BNbEzEX3txSUCNyRpJiwuA7O-nFuPrmMVRjr2C1SPa-4vKiV-TuuswNCGgiEW7hYNPvJWoDJBp7zJbRT7KzKTI6H8q0KpYyIkVxEJjEA/w399-h400/DSC_0663+%2528watermarked%2529.jpg" width="399" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><b>Materials used:</b><br /><a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/490352970/wild-roses-image-no-68">SheepSki Designs - Wild Roses</a> <br /></i></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Express It! card</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>photo paper</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>black card</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>white printer card</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>12 x 12" rose design card</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>various shaped dies </i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Copic pens:</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>roses: RV23, Blender</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>leaves: YG21, YG23, YG95, YG99</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>stems: F21, G24, G94, G99</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>shadow: B0000, B000, Blender</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>To colour the roses I used the tip to tip transfer technique.

I was aiming for a more pastel look.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>The title and labels were created on the computer and cut out with dies.

When we rented our house out while living in the vicarage it was somewhat neglected, when we rescued it there was only one stem about 8 inches long and it looked really sad. Thankfully a few years of very careful spraying and pruning have got it going again but it will take a number of years to bring it back to it's former glory. I think I did a post about it in the past.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Birthday Boy was a present from Tim's eldest sister for his birthday. We lost his sister to cancer last year so it is especially poignant now. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Pearl was a gift for our 30th Wedding Anniversary 5 years ago. It has gone mad this year and will need a severe prune to stop it taking over the garden!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Keep Smiling was a gift from the school I worked at for 16 years when I retired. It was in a pot until this year but in spring we planted it out and it took off. It has beautiful yellow blooms that certainly make you smile.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rambling Rector is a fairly new one. With Tim being a vicar in the Church of England we bought it on his retirement as it had such an apt name. It is our only rambler and it does ramble, on and on. The clusters of white flowers on it covered the frame it grows up.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rachel is the newest of them all. We have been looking for a Rachel for a long time for our youngest daughter, you've guessed it, Rachel. Up until last summer all the ones we found were the wrong spelling or had a second name. Then we found this one at a local garden centre. It has blooms that change colours as they age so it starts off deep pink then develops yellow and orange edges as it opens up. Again it was covered in a fantastic floral display this year.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My photos don't do them justice and also don't give you the fantastic perfumes of Rebecca Claire, Pearl and Rachel. Sat out on the patio enjoying some evening sun and getting wafts of scent along with the glorious colours was a bit treat this year and went a long way to easing the frustrations of lockdown and not being able to visit family and friends.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I hope that you managed to find things to be grateful for among your pandemic experiences.

My beautiful eldest daughter has certainly been showing off her girl power having given us our first Grandchild in April. It's been a long and continuing road to her recovery from a botched delivery but she has taken it all in her stride. Hopefully by this time next year all the further repair surgery will have been completed and successful, Covid 19 will be no longer a threat and we can enjoy being a relaxed family again.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">While thinking about how to approach my sample for this the news of the death of Helen Reddy came through and I thought of her iconic song 'I am woman' so I have used that to make another page for my Inspirations Book.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">However my favourite Helen Reddy song 'Candle on the Water' comes from the film 'Pete's Dragon'.

There is a bonus in that the cart full of veg and the girl are two separate images. You can, of course, combine them if you wish. I have made a card that would do for Harvest or Thanksgiving. Since I plan to send it to my friend in the USA I have added a Thanksgiving greeting. I also had a go at some 3D crafting using the cart and made a cart container for small items. I've used grapes for the photo but chocolates would work just as well!</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUOEHRq_NFY-f11lLRSah4pr0Z7fD3YEgRCIEKg9ZYa1MU8OjnKGcWvQlqPjXURaAeFOWq106kvNbfBVjHR9c1Y3JhgOx8S12a1WJljtQdTJLdQG30Bz4mh6Deu_VKBdUGeAvAIyLwGNo/s2048/DSC_0588%2528watermarked%2529.JPG" style="clear: left; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1944" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUOEHRq_NFY-f11lLRSah4pr0Z7fD3YEgRCIEKg9ZYa1MU8OjnKGcWvQlqPjXURaAeFOWq106kvNbfBVjHR9c1Y3JhgOx8S12a1WJljtQdTJLdQG30Bz4mh6Deu_VKBdUGeAvAIyLwGNo/w380-h400/DSC_0588%2528watermarked%2529.JPG" width="380" /></span></a></p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirhfk16ZG0ABNT8vT_07FjD85cCOHjYyXASQIb9BfmAjTJQRxHac9vTM4tiXJkZcnrha7WIndj7ejJUwIuECsaGsjmV64MpgMTa5HXbzyT7jlA4vi6qcN2htJXuoBkEnfh3KuXbKRJa8o/s2048/DSC_0593%2528watermarked%2529.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1361" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirhfk16ZG0ABNT8vT_07FjD85cCOHjYyXASQIb9BfmAjTJQRxHac9vTM4tiXJkZcnrha7WIndj7ejJUwIuECsaGsjmV64MpgMTa5HXbzyT7jlA4vi6qcN2htJXuoBkEnfh3KuXbKRJa8o/s320/DSC_0593%2528watermarked%2529.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><b>Materials used:<br /></b></i><i><a href="https://www.stampersdelights.com/store/c7/%2ANEW_IN_STORE%2A.html#/">Stampers Delights: Harvest Time</a><br /></i><i>Imagine That Digistamp: Subtle Harvest (not available)<br />printer paper<br />X-Press It card<br />white card<br />kraft card<br /></i></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">Copic pens:</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 R20</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">eyes - B21, B24, B18</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">hair - Y21, Y26, YR24, E25</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">T-shirt - BG53, BG45, BG57, BG49, BG78</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">shorts and ribbon - R29, R39, R59, R89</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">shoes - W1, W3, W5, W7, W9</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">pumpkin - YR12, YR15, YR18, E13, E15, E18</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">leaf - G21, G94, G99</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">stems - E43, E44, E47</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">green pumpkin - YG61, G21, YG63, G85</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">corn - Y21, Y23, YR21, YR24, E15, E15 </i><i style="font-family: verdana;">G21, YG63, YG67, G99</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">sunflower - Y11, Y15, Y17, E13, E15</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>cart - E31, E35, E57, E79</i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>cart wheels - R22, R24, R27, R29 </i></span><i style="font-family: verdana;">C5, C7, C9</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>bird 1- YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24 </i></span><i style="font-family: verdana;">E35, E39 Y13, Y15, Y19</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;">bird 2 - E97, E08, E19 C9, E18, E29 Y13, Y15, Y19</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Making the cart was definitely a Heath Robinson job!

Still feeling the lack of creative drive but hoping to kick start the brain back into action. My first offering uses the image for the progressive challenge on the Stamper's Delights Facebook page. The image on offer is of a witch on a broomstick but as I am not a fan of witches I got Janice's permission to slightly alter the image. Please bear in mind that I am not an artist which is why I use other people's images!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilO4tlaMbxFDngWMyw4BS_2yegdzHahAL13U0iF2LVOqUX-jnT_2nkqDRYUeVmfoEl_I789qXUwVuYLFRCqyQsMGT9EjoZqQfCL9j2XM2mdI7iDvMNB3CtFvEypfZmpdODIUdN-atJ-TQ/s2048/DSC_0587%2528watermarked%2529.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1837" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilO4tlaMbxFDngWMyw4BS_2yegdzHahAL13U0iF2LVOqUX-jnT_2nkqDRYUeVmfoEl_I789qXUwVuYLFRCqyQsMGT9EjoZqQfCL9j2XM2mdI7iDvMNB3CtFvEypfZmpdODIUdN-atJ-TQ/w359-h400/DSC_0587%2528watermarked%2529.JPG" width="359" /></a></div><div><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></div><i>Materials used:</i></b></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/stampersdelights" target="_blank">Stampers Delights - Chibi Agnes 1</a> (available on request from the Facebook Page)</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>horseshoe clip art from internet</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>X-Press It card</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>brown card</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>rectangle die set</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>5x7" card blank</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Copic pens: </i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 R20</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>hair - E11, E13, E15, E18</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>eyes - BG01, BG05</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>dress - R29, R39, R59, R89</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>T-Shirt - C0, C1, C3 Blender</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>hat - E30, E31, E33, E35, E37</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>hat band - W1, W3, W5, W7</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>horse head - E21,E23,E25, E29</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>broom handle - E35, E57, E79</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>brush - E41, E42, E44, E47, E49</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>boots - E13, E15, E08, E19, E49</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>grass - G24, G94, YG67, G28</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I hope you will join us in the Progressive Challenge, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here are some links for your inspiration:</span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background: white; color: #1c1e21; font-size: 12pt;">Store: </span><a href="https://www.stampersdelights.com/store/c18/ALL_DIGITAL_STAMPS_PRODUCTS.html?fbclid=IwAR2zUi41goyCpKDE27zZANf03jbOKDRL-vM8ugkGY3lR-6W-AsYkR9eQgVI#/" target="_blank"><span style="background: white; color: #385898; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.stampersdelights.com/store/c18/ALL_DIGITAL_STAMPS_PRODUCTS.html#/</span></a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #1c1e21; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background: white;">FB Group: </span></span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/stampersdelights/?ref=bookmarks"><span style="background: white; color: #385898; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration-line: none;">https://www.facebook.com/groups/stampersdelights/?ref=bookmarks</span></a></span></p>

It's been a while since I posted so here is a brief catch up.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">After the arrival of our first grandson Teddy in the height of lockdown when we could not see him life took an unexpected and unpleasant turn. To cut a very long story short the hospital botched his delivery, an internal inquiry reads like a forensics report from a murder and legal proceedings are underway to sue for medical negligence. It is unlikely that the hospital will contest and the solicitor is hoping they will make a decent out of court settlement. Now I am not usually a fan or suing the NHS but in this instance, and not just because it's closer to home, I feel my daughter is justified. The whole mess robbed her of weeks of contact with her newborn, put added stress to an already stressful time with Covid, left her facing further surgery and weeks of recovery between them with the possibility of leaving her with a life altering condition. All of which could have been avoided had basic checks been carried out when she went into early labour.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">On the plus side both mum and Teddy survived (it was close) and Becky is amazing taking it all in her stride while Teddy is a delight.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">So you can understand why I have been out of action. My mojo for designing anything went out of the window so I stepped back from Stampers Delights and The Path of Positivity for a while.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Don't think for a moment that I was not crafting, I've been knitting, crocheting and rediscovered my love for cross stitch which has been dormant for many years. All of these involve just following someone else's pattern and that suited my state of mind just fine.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am back now but possibly only for a short time to serve out my time as it were on the Design Teams. When Becky does go for the next surgery she will be on complete bed rest for some time afterwards so we will be needed to help with Teddy while her husband is at work. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">But for now I am persevering and hoping that there is enough creative juice in the system to get me through the next few months.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">To finish with a happy photo!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRm13AnHYyjrqNla059hBZcEYXtwmyfhrXP86LBGuJhCLSlRRk2lgW7ZMbKdPjakiRpy89jaI4U2dinG2PJ8NBRkD8tB3HTUtaxAlSuZOMd8Fg5jqg3Xj0Qy1ybH6Xt6SFvFGJNK2c6ww/s960/107008136_10159840043785828_5886621636645714129_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRm13AnHYyjrqNla059hBZcEYXtwmyfhrXP86LBGuJhCLSlRRk2lgW7ZMbKdPjakiRpy89jaI4U2dinG2PJ8NBRkD8tB3HTUtaxAlSuZOMd8Fg5jqg3Xj0Qy1ybH6Xt6SFvFGJNK2c6ww/s320/107008136_10159840043785828_5886621636645714129_n.jpg" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Take care and stay safe.</span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Pippa</span><br /><p><br /></p></div>Pippahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04285958061743923385noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103714761718249443.post-44765428687973621612020-05-04T23:00:00.000+01:002020-05-04T23:00:14.420+01:00Furry or Feathery Friends on the Path of Positivity<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The start of a new month and the start of a new challenge at Path of Positivity. This month the optional theme is Fury or Feathery Friends. With Spring in the air there is a lot of activity among the birds and animals as nests, dens, drays and setts are spruced up ready for a new set of babies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I expect, like me, many of you are in strict lockdown as the world struggles to contain the Covid-19 pandemic. I could not imagine living with social distancing measures in a built up, urban area. We are so fortunate in having countryside all around us. We can walk out of our front door and be up on the hill in the wood and across the fields well away from anyone else in minutes. Our wood on the top of Herne Hill is full of bird song and if you look hard squirrels, mice and voles are busy gathering food and nesting material. In the evening if you are really patient you might see the badgers and foxes out and about. In the fields the ewes and their lambs are grazing on the fresh spring grass. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The sheep always make me smile after they have been shorn, the babies look so much bigger than their mums!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today I have a shaped and tactile card to share with you.</span><br />

<i>I actually enjoyed colouring these beauties which is a good sign because for the past couple of weeks or so I really have been off my game. We have a major family issue going on and Covid - 19 restrictions are not helping. If you looked at my earlier post with the fish bowl you will understand, not one of my best I admit but as much as I could do at the time. Hopefully things will improve in time but my head may be all over the place for some time - you have been warned!</i></div>

<i>I hope you are all managing to keep sane in these most unusual of times. We have just observed a national minute of silence in memory of all who have lost their lives in the Covid-19 outbreak here in the UK but particularly all the key workers in the NHS and beyond. With such big numbers being bandied around you can lose sight of the human face of it all. The thousands of families whose lives have been shattered by this terrible virus and who cannot even gather to share grief and comfort each other. If you have been touched by Covid my thoughts are with you. If you are recovering from it I wish you a speedy and lasting recovery and if you are protecting yourself or another vulnerable person I hope that you stay safe to the end of all this.</i></div>

Life in lockdown seems unreal almost dream like. I thought I would be able to get a lot of crafting done and be on top of my DT commitments but it is not working out that way. In fact I have no mojo for making cards, colouring, sharing. It's like all the creative energy has been seeping away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now not all of this is due to Covid-19, can't have it getting all the glory! A lot is going on for us as a family too and being separated is not at all easy. I know I am not the only one but when things are happening to you it certainly seems like it at the time. Does that make me a selfish person, I don't think so it just makes me human.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway I did not set out to depress everyone, so moving swiftly on. Our theme at Path of Positivity this month is Style, something I know nothing about and certainly can't be accused of having. I envy people who can go out shopping and come back with clothes that make them look fabulous even if they have only been to the charity shop. My daughters are both like that, there wardrobes make them even if they do not have a lot of choice in them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">During Covid when no one is going out there have been great stories of people dressing up in ballgowns and wedding dresses just to put out the bins. A couple who live just up the road from us have been going on their daily walk around the area dressed as Micky and Minnie Mouse, they even post up their route on the town FB page beforehand so the children can look out for them. There is a postman in the county who has been wearing a different costume everyday on his rounds. Even in the midst of disaster we are a resilient people and create ways to keep our own spirits up and those of others. Part of me hopes that it does not all go once we are let out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For the midway post I have made another page for my 'Inspirational Quotes' book.</span><br />

I love how just spraying a fine mist onto the powdered pigment produces all sorts of different colours. The black has blues in it and when it merges with the red you get a purple colour. Where the red and yellow meet oranges start to form. With it being a powder the sprinkling mixes up the scattered gains so different colours appear within other colours so looking at it now I can see blue spots in the yellow and red and red spots in the yellow. You never know how the powder will react with the water it is quite magical to watch it happen.</i></span></span><br />

Now I admit this is a hard one for me because I am not a style sort of person. I wear what I wear because it's comfortable. Looking at my wardrobe you would think I am very sombre with a lot of black and brown but my philosophy is that black and brown go with anything so stick to the most usable colours.<br />
<br />
Having said that I have added some colour with crochet and knitting so I have a crocheted jumper in shades of purple and pink and a very bright orange knitted cable tunic. On the needles is another purple creation so colour is starting to creep into the wardrobe!<br />
<br />
My fantasy style, in my dreams, I guess would be gypsy which is why I have chosen one of the Mignon sets from our sponsor this month. I have kept my card very simple to compliment the image. The CAS style does tend to be my default mode for cards so I guess it also counts towards the theme remit.<br />

If you like using physical stamps keep a look out for some new clear stamps coming into the store.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have used the artist image to make a rainbow to put up in our window. So many people are putting up rainbows as a sign of hope during the lockdown caused by Covid - 19. Local children out on their one permitted walk a day are having fun spotting them. I have flipped the image and placed her so that she looks as if she has just painted the rainbow. The wording uses the initial letter of the colours of the rainbow.</span><br />

<i>Are you socially distancing where you are? I'd love to know how you are all doing. Crafting does give us an advantage in that there is always something to do. Have you been crafting? Maybe you have picked up an old craft that you have not done in a while. I have just found my way back into cross stitching and it is fair to say I am addicted. There is something very therapeutic in hand sewing. Or perhaps you are trying your hand a a new craft. I have some embroidery kits to have a go at, something I have never been particularly happy with my sewing abilities so thought I would give it another go. Do please leave a comment with how you have been keeping busy/sane in these strange times we are living through.</i></div>

Today it is the Chibi images in the spotlight. Janice has created some lovely crafting themed images for you all. Also look out for the new limited physical stamps coming into the store. They will be great for those of you who like a more traditional approach to stamping.</span><br />

But here we are. I hope that wherever you are you are keeping sane and safe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Of course us crafters have a head start when it comes to filling time, all those projects to do and new skills to try. So if you fancy a great image to colour head over to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/stampersdelights/" target="_blank">Stampers Delights Facebook Page</a> and request the image for this month's challenge.</span><br />
