Saturdays Child

Saturdays Child or should that be Penny Pigtails, I love this digi stamp by the talented Mo Manning, it just reminds me of my childhood so much, my Dad had an allotment garden away from our house garden where he would escape to, he used to grow all of our vegetables and also kept hens, Joe in the neighbouring allotment kept pigs, goats, geese and ducks and I would often pop round to help feeding, I have to say though I was terrified of the goats because they did exactly as the one in the image, often chewing my clothes and the occasional head butt too.


Attention to detail...

Ok so now I am minus 1 pair of jeans, I cut a strip from them to add as a ribbon, tied a knot then frayed the edges.

papers ; stamping up
Digi Stamp ; Digital Pencil Too
Tools ; ScorPal, Nestabilities Labels, Martha Stewart Border Punch
Colouring ; Promarkers
Embellishments ; Adhesive pearls and a pair of my Jeans (ha ha)

The last few cards that I have missed are beatiful as always Jak.....but just as beautiful (if not more) is your adorable grandson. My how he's growing and so handsome too...it's just wonderful when they start telling those little stories isn't it Jak. You and OH must be so proud of him.

Love Sheila xx
