Crows and conkers

Following on from my 2019 conker treasure hunt post I thought I would share some more of my crafting inspiration from that day. If you missed that post you can find it here

As well as the conker treasure hunt we also went to see my family of Dino ducks (Egyptian geese) who I have fed and followed since they hatched earlier this year.

You may remember that I also made some backgrounds for some artist trading coins.
On Monday I used them to make some dino duck inspired coins. I used my lovely new Lavinia crows and made these. I would like to give a heads up that Country View Crafts (who I design for) are now an official stockist of Lavinia stamps. They always offer completely FREE UK POSTAGE with no minimum spend! The crow stamp set I used for my coins are available here

I made 6, 3 for my group swap 2 for Daisy and 1 for me. I posted Daisy's to her and she should be receiving them today. 
A couple of close ups (these are 2 1/2" in diameter).

I would like to enter my coins into the following challenges;

Addicted to stamps and more anything goes
Crafting by Design 2/3  anything goes
Fab n Funky 2/3 autumn colours
Creative Inspirations 2/3 masculine or fall/autumn
The house that stamps built 2/3 circles
Through the craft room door 2/3 anything goes
Crafter's Castle 1/3 anything goes/fall
Crafty Calander 1/3 anything goes/fall
A vintage journey Inky wings
Craft Stamper take it make it 1/3 anything goes

We did lots of crafting last weekend and I am delighted to say that Jack loves to be involved sometimes too,
when you can drag him away from his beloved trains...this is a bit blurry but shows him looking at his aeroplane ATC badge I made him!
Today I visited the dinos and did some crafting..but I had no little buddies to do it with this time..
we will be seeing them again next weekend so not long to wait.

Thanks for popping by and have a lovely weekend. We are huge Strictly fans and can't wait to see the Movie night show tonight on TV, it is always such a spectacle.

Back soon,

Bye for now,

    It's nice to see Jack is following in his sister's footsteps to learn crafting from his grandma, too. You're a good grandma! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

    Oh, I love these ATCoins - great variations on a theme, and they look so good individually and as a set. Thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey. Looks like you've been having lots of fun with your "little buddies"!
