I actually thought this was probably and Aall and Create image, but I see its Paper Artsy from a few years ago, and it looks great in that lovely red and with the matching red mat Kathy. The ATC is so detailed and the colours are wonderful, and I love the background stamping with the numbers and the ephemera and that super stencil and finished with the latin phrase 'seize the day'..a great one. Glad you are still enjoying your walks, but I know what you mean about the countryside being eaten away by new housing estates. It is the same here and there are actually a couple of villages which are completely unrecogiseable with all the new houses they have built there. x
Your two cards are great. Both simple designs but one is CAS and the other a tad busy with the stencilled background. Delighted to have you join us at Krafty Chicks Challenge this week.

Excellent CAS anniversary card and a smashing ATC. Love all the inky layers on the ATC and agree that the colour combo deserves another outing xxx
I think the background on your ATC looks fabulous! Stenciling is so much fun and gives such great results. Thanks so much for joining in on our latest challenge at Let's Craft and Create. Cheryl W, DT
