Time to remember...

Poppies. Have to be one of my favourite flowers ... to see them in the parks and cornfield bobbing in the sunshine is one of life's joys .


Of course Poppies are also synonymous with remembrance... so when Jenny told me we were showing the commemorative set  on air this month I was delighted .... A few of my followers may remember I did a lot of scrapbook pages for The Mare & Foal Sanctuary near Newton Abbot here in Devon did you know A MILLION HORSES WENT TO WAR. ..... Makes you think of the terror those poor animals went through during the time of the Great War... The War that was to end all wars ..... I hope you see what I have tried to do here the images are taken off the computer and are not my own nor are they relatives but they did make me pause and think.

                                                                      Lest we forget


Now for something a bit different .....using http://www.hobbyartstamps.com/Poppy-Heads.html

Finally on a more cheerful note we have a brand new Farm set out Huge big stamp with background bits to put in  http://www.hobbyartstamps.com/On-the-farm.html. and animals to go with it http://www.hobbyartstamps.com/CS153D-Animals.html.

 Wishing you all a great week ...now Blogger and I are talking again... and I have reset my password  Hopefully we will speak again soon xxxx

Christmas in July and ....

Hobby Art have moved to HOCHANDA.  Well I hope everyone watched the shows ....or at least recorded one of them.  Here are my samples from this month mostly Christmas samples except the  last one which was made with the Nature Trail set  .....


The First two cards are from the new Poinsettia sets http://www.hobbyartstamps.com/Poinsettia.html
the top one is a bit of vintage decoupage with Seasons Greetings gold embossed matted and layered on gold mirricard .
The Second is just  a very quick image stamped and coloured in with promarkers ...ideal for batch making lot's of Christmas cards when you have a lot to do .....

Next we come to the Round Robin set http://www.hobbyartstamps.com/Round-Robins.html

Now, anyone who know's me ....or follows my posts on the dreaded Facebook ....know's how much I love Robin Redbreasts Many are confused as to why he appears on our cards each year ...It is said when Christ was born on the fist Christmas Morning he was the first bird to sing at the manger to welcome the Christ child.....he was just a little brown bird who sang the most beautiful song ..... then years later as Christ was dying on the cross the Robin came and sang underneath the cross Three drops of his blood fell onto the Robin's breast and that's how he became the Robin Redbreast that we know and love today .

I hope you like his boots! 

A little mini book card using The gorgeous Round Robin Set and Bah Humbug !

A different take on what you may think is just a Christmas set .  Using Yupo Paper and Alcohol inks this card proves its not ....change the colours and you can make it any season you choose 

Well I hope you like what I have done and I hope it has inspired you  to look at your stamps and think a little outside the box .....

 Hi everyone . Hope you are all well ....It's been a busy time in the Simmons household and to cap it all Dingbat here fell down the basement stairs and broke my leg bottom of the fibula   ! Have a rather fetching grey boot that I am hobbling painfully round in ....putting on a sock is a whole new different world of torture!
Added to that We have had a very poorly Purdy ...She went to sleep yesterday after a week of really struggling At the grand age of nearly 13.....she goes to be with Durban her mate sad times ...and if that wasn't enough ! Ian my Hubby is working away for the rest of this week  so it's me and the boy wonder who is being amazingly good ....I'm amazed he hasn't gone in to total meltdown.
