Christmas card - Pammy's Stocking

I love how this has come together, Pammy's Stocking is one of the new Christmas digital stamps by Mo Manning and she is simply adorable, there is also a male version of this which i will put together later.

image coloured with Copic markers patterned ribbon strip from Stampin Up, ribbon, kuretake snowflake punch, Martha Stewart border punch, spellbinders border die, ribbon pearls and a stunning flower (see below for details) and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Attention to detail...

Whilst browsing around my local ASDA store I happened upon this jewelry all at half price I knew that they would make fabulous embellishments.

Old photographs found

A rare find, my brother Alan came across a website hosting many photograph from where we live and whilst browsing through the pictures he stumbled upon some of our family.

The first photograph below is from 1920 they were amateur boxes I've marked all of the photographs with an arrow so you can see who they are.

this one is a picture with my Granda in, he's my mams dad, we haven't got this picture so it was wonderful to find it. he was quite a sporty guy in his youth and in fact in his very late years he was still known to play snooker and billiards.

This is from the amateur operatic society below is a photograph with both my Dad and his sister Auntie Alice, another photograph that we had never seen.

Below is a picture of my Brother Russell staring in Oliver, we already had this photograph but i thought you might like to see it.

My Mam has been reminiscing and finding loads of her friends on the site of bygone years, isn't the Internet wonderful?

I do hope I haven't bored you all.

Well done Lesley, drop me a line with your details and I will pop them in the post for you.

Wishing Well - Digital Stamp

I really don't know what it is about a Wishing Well that draws me to them I simply love them I think it's the magical thought of making a wish, this one I love by Just Inklined, it can be purchased here.

The Wishing Well was coloured with Copic marker pens, the fancy papers are DCWV and have a cross hatched tecture to them and are a dream to punch through, I used the martha Stewart Flourished edge punch some flowers, ribbon, pearls and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Halloween Card - A Good Read

Boo! I made a halloween card with A Good Read (witch) digital Stamp by Just Inklined as soon as this one was drawn up I was itching to colour it.

Coloured with Copics the background paper is KaiserCrafts and the broomstick was made by lil ole me, it is a wooden meat skewer with some raffia added to the end and held in place using gardeners string.

Some card layers, sheer ribbon and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Look at the fear on kittys face ha ha! this is Cat in the Kin another digital stamp by Just Inklined, I thought the two images worked perfectly together

I love the way the witches knees are poking out of her tights.
