First up, the state of the kitchen table, for the perusal of Julia and the Deskers.
The few remaining bits to be put away after class this morning, along with my diary, lip balm, recipe book (Mushroom Stroganoff tonight) and wallet. Also a page from the Blackmore Vale Magazine, handed to me by a friend this morning, detailing an exhibition he thought I might be interested in.
And here's what we made. Three Spring themed cards so that I can at least pretend it's on its way, despite battling through high winds and hail this morning.
A little therapeutic colouring in of the Spring wreath and a way to adapt the Christmas wreath, on the middle card, to year round use. Making a set of (between 2 and 4) visually linked images for Helena's weekly photographic meme: Snap!
Happy Wednesday to you, wherever you are visiting me from today.

oh those cards are SO lovely. Nice mild shade of yellow. Yellow can be a tricky colour sometimes to work with, a gold shaded yellow is very bold. Your yellow looks more field buttercup. I like the stamped wreath, I could use that it so many ways. I have a veggie Stroganoff recipe - does your mushroom one call for different types of mushrooms? Yummy but I must admit it is the pasta part that I really like; alas too many carbs.
The yellow and green feels very welcome today as it's so grey here. The smell of strog is wafting round our kitchen too as we speak. I'm looking forward to it
Gorgeous spring cards. The colours are so fresh and zingy.
Interesting to see the cookbook on your desk today. Making me feel hungry.
Have a great Wednesday

Really pretty cards - I've been thinking of buying that set for a while - I think seeing your cards has just confirmed that I need this set LOL. Have a great week of crafting Linda #51
Lovely cards that scream Spring and that mushroom stroganoff sounds tasty.
Gorgeous cards!! have a fabulous week. Helen #2
Lovely cards Fiona, Spring must be coming soon...please! Today's weather has been the worst of everything!
My sister is a proud owner of that cookbook..reckons by now that she's made everything in it. I had a mushroom stroganoff in the pub the other night. Delish.
Beautiful cards! Hopefully Spring will be coming soon.

lovely handmade cards!
Now I recognise that cook book. I have one like that. Mine looks equally well used! In fact you have given me an idea for tomorrow 's lunch. Love the cards especially the middle one.
Your cards are so pretty. I really like the simple hello.

Beautiful cards, love the yellows, very Spring-like. Great use of the Christmas wreath too. Happy WOYWW, Judith #32
I love the Easter card - would never have known it was an adaptation of a Christmas wreath!
Oh! Easter cards. I never send them yet my mother used to send (when she was alive) and Paul's mother still sends them. Yours are so pretty and full of hope.
Oh, you've captured spring with those cards!
What pretty cards--they are so cheery looking!
Those cards are so pretty x
Lovely cards and I bet the exhibition will be great (I assume that is THE Charlie Waite who founded Light and Land photographic tours?).
kyla
Such pretty pretty cards. I'm feeling very Spring like, I just need the weather to come around to my way of thinking lol
