Ewe'l Log & Blog Candy

Just a bit of fun as a Stocking Filler for Christmas
The gold roll is a 12 x 12 scrapbook paper cut in half then rolled into a cylinder and glued in place. the Ewe is made with a flower punch for hair and feet a tear drop punch for ears or a heart cut in half would do, the face is the Stampin Up Oval cut in half and the body is a Nestabilities circle, googly eyes and black cord for the legs.


This is what is inside my Ewe'l Log.

Linen Tea Towels from All Tea Towels did I mention I love these, they remind me of home when I was young.

Form-Ewe-La-One, I got a few of these in the hopes that Chris will help with the washing up as he is an avid fan.



This one just cracks me up, check out those cuties hanging on the washing line.


Al over at All Tea towels has given me 5 Tea Towels to give away (Ooooo Stocking Fillers)

All you have to do is head over there find your favourite design and come back and tell me which one it is.

I will then draw 5 people via Random Generator on Wednesday 25th November to receive their favourite.

Charlotte Beauty

I used a brayer inked with pale plum ink onto the Victorian A2 embossing folder by Cuttlebug before embossing the card, then using the same ink I stamped the penny Black footnote stamp at the bottom of the card.
The Image stamp Charlotte was inked with Perfect Plum ink then I used a Koi Brush to draw the colour into the image.


recipe:~

Stamp: Charlotte by Stamp It, Penny Black Stamp, Footnote

Tools: spiral punch by Stampin Up, Embossing Folder Victorian by Cuttlebug, koi watercolour brush

Inks: Perfect Plum & Pale Plum both by Stampin Up

Card Cream By Papertrey Ink

Attention to detail...

The ribbon was a find I made in a local haberdashery, it is kind of weird, it is and open weave lace cotton and is very soft to the touch.

Rememberance Day - The End of World War 1

World War 1 Finally ended.
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918
Beyond the elation of the end of the War was the deep sadness of all the lives that were lost.
I think it is very apt that the symbol we use to commemorate this time and remember all those lost lives is the Poppy, growing wild in the fields that once held the battles, it's vibrant red and beauty to be worn on our left side over our hearts.
Lest we forget



In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.



We are the dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved, and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.



Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)
