75th Anniversary VE Day

All quiet round here although we did have a trumpeter for the 11.00hrs respectful silence.  Wonderful idea, not happened before and it was a brilliant reminder. . . . . shame not everyone is respectful . . . .
Talking of which . . .  there was a five generation party going on next door, as always on a Friday!  The other side just had a couple of friends around . . . social distancing, phooey!! social is ok in their books!

Made me very sad as I would LOVE to hold and cuddle my little ones, it gets very painful at times . . . .like yesterday . . .

Anyhoos, I worked my way through it, finishing off some cards for this months swaps.  I had already made DDN 's birthday card so it was just down to the swaps.

We had the theme of Oriental and the colour Yellow for the ATCs:

Papers and diecuts (which I won as a prize many years ago).




Painted background and various images.





The Partner Swap:

I used some from earlier makes, I am finding that if I make an extra one for my swaps, I have enough for this swap.





Then we have the ATCoins swaps which were Chickens/Ducks and Hands/Feet:

I just love these images, forget the ducks!!

Hands reminded me of the Thursday night clapping and added a few flags.  I used a 'hands' stencil for the background, stamped dancing figures holding the bunting.


Now I intend to make a start on this month's Card Swaps.
