Elizabeth Allen and Jill Foster over at Studio Sessions have been creating beautiful cards and tags using Penny Black stamps, Tombow markers and embossing techniques. I think you'll like all of their projects!

I have photos to share with you of our day at the Portobello Street Market yesterday and the Harrod's Food Court. Off to spend this gloriously beautiful sunny day with our granddaughters, fix up their patio a bit and enjoy a barbecue with their friends.
