Welcome to another WOYWW - hope you're all well. Head to Sarah's for the link...
I was at a loose end on Saturday because my Kew buddy Kim and I (wrongly as it turned out) assumed Storm Amy would force Kew to stay closed... so once it sunk in properly that it was October I decided I'd better start getting some Christmas cards sorted... well, started, anyway
I got stuck into some masterboards - the big (A3) sheets are quite thin sheets from a cheap paper pad I bought from The Works lots of years ago, the A4 sheet is much thicker weight card.and I stamped out 9 A4 sheets of designs (mostly Paperartsy JoFY mini stamps
lots of different colour ways
some of the new JoFY minis launched a couple of weeks ago (I was SO not going to buy any more Christmas stamps, but I happened to see a blog post from a Paperartsy contributor that gave me so many ideas..
they arrived whilst I was writing this post during Bake Off, (just as I was checking my emails and thinking, oh they haven't been delivered... postman was late today obviously; unless they went through the wrong door... )
whilst I was giving in to temptation I added the leafy stencil (one of Alison Bomber's that was out of stock when i wanted it before) just because it was there!
we did go to Kew on Sunday - you didn't think I'd miss a weekend completely, did you?! the weather was stunning but I really don't like to go on Sundays because I feel I don't have a weekend; Sunday is my chill day.
The colours were glorious, rich reds and oranges in the trees

Thanks for looking, happy WOYWW;
