Baby & Bunny - Mo Manning

Oh Baby!
I think Cheeky is the only word for this bare bummed baby with it's bunny, ha,ha.
The innocence of youth captured perfectly by Mo, just look at the baby folds and the soft plush fur rug.
Coloured with Copic markers Baby and Bunny is teamed with DCWV and Bo Bunny designer papers, Buttons from Fantastic Ribbons a pretty ribbon bow and some pearls and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Man of the Month

I decided I would award a Man of the Month, not something I do lightly but this man totally deserves this award.
To win this award a man needs to be one of a kind, hardworking, reliable, good sense of humour, thoughtful and considerate.
So without further ado I give you...
Neil Rutherford.

This is my choice for Man of the month, why? well he went beyond the call of duty and worked late most nights to get my bathroom fitted for me, he is hard working and wouldn't even stop for lunch, although he did get through 2 jars of coffee.

He single handed fitted me a beautiful bathroom and even when he had to take out the loo he put it back before he left to ensure we had it for the nights. He is a perfectionist and made sure that every part of the bathroom was fitted to the highest of standards, he is witty and he doesn't leave a mess he cleaned up each night.


Thank you Neil we are thrilled with the work you did for us.


Oh yes he also is a good sport and didn't mind me blogging his builders bum.



Anyone on the look out for a brilliant Bathroom fitter Neil is your man, he is hard working reliable and a perfectionist, I really can't recommend him highly enough.

2 in 1 Royal Fleur and Fairy 2

I decided to give one of my new punches a whirl and what better way to showcase it than to use one of the images from Digital Pencil Too Fairy 2, I love the fact that this image is voluptuous and not a double Zero skinny mini.
Coloured with Copic markers and I choose my favourite shades of aqua colours and used the 2 in 1 Royal Fleur on corners and edging then teamed it all with a vintage seem binding ribbon and gave it a bit of a curled appearance.
Fairy 2 can be purchased here

I just know you are all going to ask what I used for the edging, well, it is a little edger Punch by Tonic Studios called 2 in 1 - Royal Fleur it does both edges and corners for the silly price of £5.99 cheap as chips.





..............................................................................

I'm hoping to get some bathroom shots later to show you, it's all coming together nicely.

Build a Blossom Winner and an Uh Oh

First my Uh Oh.... Grandson Jack learnt how to climb out of his cot today and in the process fell and managed to but his teeth clean through his bottom lip his poor Mam is beating herself up over it as he needed a trip to the medics and has had it glued together again, luckily his teeth came out just below his bottom lip otherwise it would have been a trip to hospital and not the walk in center.

So tonight his cot has been made into a bed and he is finding it very dificult to stay in it, I expect they are in for a restless night tonight.

...................
