One Stamp, a pair of Tags and a CAS card

 Have just dropped Minx off at the Vet!  They saw her on Friday but there were no outward signs of why she has not been herself.  Today is blood tests all  know is my sweet little Minx is very lethargic and not at all like herself.  So fingers crossed when they call it will be with a solution.  In the mean time I'll just have to keep myself occupied on the laptop and in the craft room.  Did someone just suggest I could do some HW go and wash your mouth out with soapy water for even thinking such a thing.

Remember that line from "The Importance of being Ernest" " a handbag? A Handbag! A HANDBAG! well you can replace Handbag here with House Work!

This little bird on a twig stamp I've had for many years it is wood mounted rubber but no manufacturer name on it.   Got it out the other day for a little play and here is the result with different treatments they all look quite different but the little bird makes them a set.  It just so happens that Vintage Journey are looking at Pairs, Trios or Sets this month which makes this my November entry.

The card was really quite simple the image stamped in Versafine Majestic Blue, I'm not sure that colour is still available but it really is a wonderful shade of blue.   Silver Liquid Pearls for the Berries and then, wait for it, Peel Off border!  Yes Peel offs remember them?  I kept a box of the ones most likely to come in handy and here they just lift this saving it from so so/UK.

The Tags both use the little bird stamp and also a Stampology "background" stamp another set I've had forever and a day.  The blue and brown tag stamped in Archival Potting Soil for a dark chocolaty brown and dusted with DI Tumbled Glass, the berries and leaves picked out in deep blue felt pen.   The Red and green tag sees the Bird stamped in Versafine Grey and the swirls in Memento Bamboo Leaves green.  Once again Felt pens coloured the bird image with DI Aged Mahogany dusted around the edges.  This Aged Mahogany is a very under used ink that will be getting more outings and be experimented with in the future.

Naturally there were challenges in mind for these and they are

Well Harley is missing Minx, while I've been distracting myself here he has been wondering around calling for her.  With cats tell me they want to be an only cat but judging by his behaviour he's not so certain now.
