DELIGHTFUL THURSDAY DT AND CAUGHT ME ON THE HOP



Hello everyone...

Thursday snuck up on me again and was just going to start my tea and remembered it was Thursday...so tea can wait while I do my post for DELIGHTFUL THURSDAY  ...

But what a fabulous distraction using the gorgeous and cute images from the DIGITAL DELIGHTS STORE  and this week I'm using this wonderful set called "Sailor Simon Set" 



Aaaand...I made an easel card...hooray! for me..lol...and it was so much fun putting all the bits together.

Sailor Simon was coloured with Faber Castell pencils and a few copics...the ships wheel was fussy cut out.. [I nearly went blind]..and the ship was coloured with copics and pencils for shading..with lots of glitter added to the sails...





I made the porthole with a stamped lighthouse in the background,coloured with chalks and added a starfish [one of the ones I stole borrowed permanently from my daughters bathroom.



Photographed on the stones in my garden for a beachy look...added a couple of sentiment tags from the Digital Delights Store  and a fiskars wave die...the papers are by Teresa Collins.

FINALLY!!



Hello everyone...

Finally made it back on my blog..seems like forever, but I've been so busy with extra clients.

I had a bully here the other night and the dog was doing his job with a deep throat growl at the fence  and this turkey took it badly and ripped a paling off my fence and hit poor Harry with it...nails and all...WELL!!!...did I see red or did I see red...he got such an ear blasting from me and it left me all shaky and quivering..lol..called the police and they were here in minutes..but never found him and he came back at 3 in the morning and finished ripping my fence to bits...what a jerk.
[ Harry was okay and got a cuddle from me]

So onto card making...have a Vintage Christmas card to share using a lovely image from the "Graphics Fairy"..made this quite awhile ago..I was running out of ink and it came out a funny colour but I quite liked it.


A lovely little girl strolling through the snow..all wrapped up nice and warm..



A close up of the image...



The bow with a bird embellishment..

I never took any notice when shopping one day and nearly choked when I saw the price of these bird buttons when I got home and wondered where all my money went...just got loose in the craft aisle..



A side view showing the gorgeous lace inside as well as outside..the mesh dotted in and around the beautiful flowers from "I am Roses" and my memory box die "Donnington Tendril"
