About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

The Birds' Bath

By Evaleen Stein

In our garden we have made
  Such a pretty little pool,
Lined with pebbles neatly laid,
  Filled with water clean and cool.

When the sun shines warm and high
  Robins cluster round its brink,
Never one comes flying by
  But will flutter down to drink.

Then they splash and splash and splash,
  Spattering little showers bright
All around, till off they flash
  Singing sweetly their delight. 
 
 



I have layered Patties Creations digi stamp  Sparrows in bird bath onto paper from Digital scrapbooking Studio Spring Bliss by Papier Studio Silke.  Added flowers from same set.
Added ribbon, buttons and dragonfly brad.
Coloured digi with chalks and markers.

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.
