Hi you all, another week is racing by quicker than I can think! I did not have much crafty time yesterday, as I visited a friend and then spent time helping a neighbour, but I did manage to finish off this tag for Simon Says Stamp and Show where it's all about leaves this week. I would have liked to use some real ones, but most of the leaves here are still green and on the trees....so I made a selection out of scraps of paper and miri card, and popped them into a pocket on a tag. The tag has been inked with rusty hinge and embossed with copper EP, but it doesn't show up to well here. The pocket has been cut from a scrap of leafy DP, and stuffed with some hessian and lots of leaves.
On Tuesday it was very cold and poured all day, with a storm towards evening. Then, just before it got dark, I looked out of the window and saw this wonderful sky. My apartment faces east, so this was just the reflection from the western sky....

And then I saw the rainbow, so pretty!

A few minutes later it was dark, and the moon rose, what a lovely evening! And something to remember on dark, wet and dreary days like today.
Here's wishing you all a lovely day, take care, and thanks for coming by!
Lovely tag and gorgeous, atmospheric photos! Hugs, Sarah

Gorgeous project, Valerie! The photos are amazing! A weird thing is happening on your blog with little labels/tag floating on the screen stating 403 forbidden, this filed removed due to violation of Image Shack. Very strange!
ReplyDeleteYour tag is wonderful Valerie, gorgeous colours and so much to see. What amazing photographs, you really do live in a beautiful part of the world x
