Also been out for a drive this morning as we both wanted to play with our new toys (camera's), we headed north on the A38 towards Thornbury and then to Oldbury on Severn and Littleton on Severn and here are a small selection of the pix - mor will be appearing on the bottom of my blog in a slideshow - as I shrink and load them - check them out. The panoramic was taken by my hubby as I've not played with that function yet (or the 3D!) - it turned out real well, didn't it?

Great Less is More card Kathy, I love those stamps, was looking at them the other day but manage to resist temptation hehe :)
Great photos Kathy and loving both your great cards. Enjoy the weekend, Annette x
Lovely cards . . . and I think your photo's are just GREAT with your new toys!
You asked about the Inkylicious duster brushes Kathy . . . well I think they are BRILLIANT. I have struggled and struggled with my brayer and the Inkssentials blending tool and haven't been pleased with the results. I have REALLY taken to the brushes though and loved the results I got from the word go. Personally, I can't recommend them highly enough. GO BUY SOME!
Hugs, Sandra x

Gorgeous cards!! The color of the LIM creation is beautiful.

Thanks for your comment on my blog, glad you liked my balloon card. I used the ballons because I knew about the balloon fest this weekend, I have always wanted to go and see it.I am so jealous you can see it from your window. :)
Great LIM card-love the effect you have achieved. Great first card too - I just used those K Knight papers they are lovely to work with aren't they.
