Hello Everyone...
THE BIG CHILL...sweeping it's way through both Islands and talk about cold!!...I dont do heat very well.. and I like the Winter, but boy- oh -boy you do forget how cold July can get over here...lol.
We have the Winter bloomers out at 'My Ladies' house and devils of things to get dry..she is 96 and thinks this is the coldest Winter she has ever been through..[.she said that last year too]..and even says it in Autumn...but it is very cold.
I have a card to share today using the ever cute Barry from the Halloween 2 collection..
from Stampfairy
And here he is as a little 'Firebear'..
Such a fun image to colour...using Faber Castell pencils...his hat and fire hydrant with a red copic and shaded with a green pencil.
His cheeks are all rosy..probably from the heat and the papers are Authentique.."Endless and Fair Weather"..love these for boy cards.
The little buckets are off the net and fussy cut out with glossy accent drips on the side and seed beads with glossy accents for the water...coloured with Pencils again.
The side view...I used two stamps for the sentiments....this card went to a young man who has dreamed of being a fireman all his life and has just made the grade..both were wooden stamps...some little cheapies I've had for years...
Last side view....dont know why I've started doing two!.. but there you go..
Thanks so much for stopping by and having a peak and thanks so much for all the comments you leave..means so much..
Off to find some challenges...
Found some!

It's fab Chrissy. I walk home past the fire station every day from work. I'll keep an eye out for Barry now I know he's a fireman. :0)
Love those buckets.

Congratulations to this young man for achieving a fabulous goal. I'm a firefighter's wife, so I might be biased, but it's a wonderful career choice :) Your card is HOT!! I looove those water buckets you made. Can you imagine that being the only way to put out fires?? Eeek. I'm so grateful that today we have men and their long hoses. ;) (You knew I had to go there at some point.)
Have a great day Chrissy and try to stay warm!!
hugs,

Aww this is really sweet Chrissy… he's such a cutie! and you've coloured him beautifully! I love the buckets of water… they look fab!
Ah I could do with some of your cold weather over here…. I'm not coping too well with the heat here in UK! or else maybe Firebear could throw a bucket of his cold water over me!! that would sort out my hot flushes!! ROFL :-))
Hope you have a good week!
Big hugs

Oh My! Barry is good at everything he does Chrissy, he has so many jobs it's a wonder he gets any spare time. What a FABulous scene hope someone helps him with all these lovely buckets lol.

Can't image cold at the moment lol..It's so hot we can't sleep!
I love your Barry cards. You always seem to be adding some fantastic detail to these cards, in this case the buckts with pearls and glossy accent as water. They're a brilliant choice with this fireman! I'm sure the man receiving this will love it!
What a wonderful design and those sentiments are perfect for the occasion.
I love those cute buckets with the beady water - very cute idea!
Hugs, Kat x
Barry, is a doll all decked out in his fireman outfit! SO cute!!!!!

Hi Chrissy I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one that doesn't like the heat, I prefer the Autumn and Spring months the best, we are having a heat wave here and it is unbearably hot and muggy. I am loving your gorgeous card the image is terrific so are the papers and colours a top notch card.
