Uncle Alwin's Birthday card


Oh dear, its midday and I'm still in my PJ's .... and its all the posties fault for delivering my Lili of the Valley goodies!  I was lucky enough to win £10 voucher in the LOTV challenge blog but of course I ended up spending a few more pennies as well!  And I treated myself to some of their cardstock, and can definately recommend it - the copic markers blend beautifully on it.

Anyway, there's loads of Autumn/Fall challenges out there this week - I don't have any autumy or leafy stamps so I thought I'd use the colours of Autumn for my Uncle's 80th Birthday card. 

ETA: We finally got up and got washed and headed down to our local park, though after all the rain we've had the paths were in total gutters!  Poor Ruby is in the bath as we speak (no bubbles or candles for her!)


















The ducks were having a quacking time  ...













Ruby loved sniffing the leaves (strange dog ?!!!!)
