Hello and thanks for calling in, it's all change here - 3 days of thunder and lightening, torrential rain and strong winds and it's very cold today but I'm not complaining too much. I spent yesterday afternoon getting messy and some of it was a mess as I think my inspiration as gone AWOL!
So something simple, an inky background that was made a couple of weeks ago, teamed up with some die cut wildflowers and stamped one of my favourite TH quotes.

Just a short post as I've been such a neglectful blogger lately and I really need to catch up and shame my inspiration to return.

Its a lovely card Avril. I think we have all been suffering the missing inspiration, I blame the heat but, like you, we have had some very heavy (much needed) rain since Friday, only distant rumbles of thunder and a couple of lightening flashes.

So beautiful Avril!
The muse will return soon , I am sure!
Hugs, Susi
This is beautiful in its simplicity. Hugs, Valerie
LOL, Avril - sounds just like what I said yesterday - I seemed to make a mess of half of what I did and had no inspiration for anything different, other than simple. Must be a symptom of too much heat ;-) I did better today, so I'm sure you will!
And it's a lovely card... beautiful, in fact. I love the colours you used and that's one of my favourite sayings!
Have a great week.

It is a beautiful card Avril, very elegant with the black floral group against the inky background.
We've been enjoying the past 24 hours of cool stormy weahter, its been very welcome after the heat.

Sorry to hear that the weather has turned but I'm sure it will be a relief to many! Lovely colours here Avril...maybe a reference to the stormy skies lol.

Well I think most of us have found ourselves abandoning the craft room for the garden, it was a harsh winter ....your creations are always gorgeous so I wouldn't over worry the mojo Avril...enjoy your day, heat back by weekend I hope...xx
We were eventually forcd inside Sautrday with similar weather, but much needed rain very welcome and today we are back to mid 20's. The silhouette flowers looks lovely against the inky background, great make Avril.

This is a beautiful card Avril! Love the quote! It has cooled down a little here, although yesterday in town with grandchildren was quite hot! We had fun looking at the bee sculptures around for 'Bees In the City' I am also behind with blog catch ups as you can see! Hugs, Chrisx
