Such a sweet thing this one. Silver Fairy, I used Copics and Prisma pencils to colour her and used the overhang technique using the spellbinders label four die, I have a tutorial here The corner punch is an EK success punch. and both scrumptious ribbons are from Ribbon Carousel
I just love heather colours don’t you? there is just something about them. The Silver Fairy digi is from Wee Stamps and i tried to keep her in pastel tones as I had lots of colour with the Stampin Up paper and ribbon
Just thought I’d pop on some of the cards I made while at Create and Craft

wouldn’t they be a hoot for an Anniversary card?
I stumbled upon a new company for me, such pretty faces on these one that I thought I’d give them a whirl, this is the first one I loved and it’s the one I used for todays card, it’s called Sweet Blossom and is available here.
I love the way that this on is sitting on the arced blossom branch.
Coloured with copic markers and using the Spellbinders oval nestabilities I created a cut out to sit her inside
I told you earlier about the photo’s that I restored this is the one that was badly damaged in the bombing, I had to build up the right side of his face again, I’m so happy that I did this as this is my Grand Father in his teen years and is the only photograph we have of him in the teens.
Simply love this era.
Do you do this, trace your Family Tree? I used to but as my Fathers home was bombed during the war many of the history was lost, they did however have one or two pictures which were salvaged and I had to digitally restore them. I have one of my Dads Father which took an age to repair but I was quite pleased with the outcome, I’ll make a scrapbook page soon with that one.
The one below was took a good few years after the was but I love it none the less. The Ganny was a betting lady, loved a flutter on the horses and my dad had the job of placing the bets for her.
My Grandma, Auntie Alice the Ganny (Dads Grand Mother) and Auntie Alice’s Twin Boys Alan and Warren,

Well they say that TV adds weight and my Mam confirmed that to me lol! very nicely of course as she wouldn’t hurt a fly, it was suggested that I shouldn’t wear a certain top again when on TV ha ha! I pointed out that I am fat so there's no getting away from it but I’m also jolly like this next image.
The Fat Lady by Mo’s Digital Pencil thankfully I’m not quite this big yet but if i don’t get motivated it could be on the cards (excuse the pun)
I’m planning ringlets just like her. I seem to have also picked up a rotton head cold whilst at Peterborough and I have a throat like razor blades with nice yellow spots on my tonsils.
I will be back later today to do the drawer for the blog candy.
Did I ever tell you that I have a bit of a fear of Clowns? actually they can make me shudder, not sure why but they do.
Then I came across this little chap, Momma’s Little Clown by Sassy Cheryl, isn’t he gorgeous?
I fell in love

I could name umpteen occasions that this image would be suitable for, it reminds me of home, both my Mam and Dad were gardening mad and in fact my Mam still is, even being wheelchair bound doesn’t stop her, in summer nights she is out in the garden until dark, weeding and planting and just enjoying the fresh air and the delights of all her hard work.

We had babysitting duties tonight, we took Jack to McDonalds but before we did Chris had to book off call at the fire station or as Jack calls it the Nee nah!
He was adamant that he was going in with Grandad and loved it.
He even got to sit in the engine and was all smiles until……… Grandad sounded the sirens or should that be neenahs?

Monday already and another day at the office. Still preparing for the Create and Craft shows on Thursday 4 shows in one day, tall order.
My image today is Whispy by Saturated Canary Digi’s
I found that gorgeous button in the middle of my ribbon at my local haberdashery and i fell in love with it.
Image coloured with Copic markers and prisma pencils. Glitter added to the wings and the trim of her dress.
Lastly Jack came over on Saturday afternoon, no matter how many toys he has he soon gets bored, but give him six balloons and he plays for hours.
