Choo Choo Productions



I've been itching to show you all this.



As most of you know over the last 6 month or so my husband Chris took up model making and I have to say that his last model is fantastic, it is a row of shops with a public house on the corner.



He wasn’t happy just making a basic row of shops so he altered the model and made it look like the Fish and Chip shop was on fire, ok he did use my Copic Airbrush to make it look smoke damaged but as it is so brilliant I’m going to forgive him this time round.



I made a video of it because I wanted you all to see the special effects that he has made to go inside of it.








Some close up shots of the Model.



If you click on the pictures you will get them to full size and see even more details inside of the shops (fittings and all).

Just Inklined to Hop - Clean and Simple

blog hop



I would love it if you could all join in our blog hop today for Just Inklined and leave some love in the form of a comment on all of the girls blogs, as we have some hidden spot prizes which you may win if you do.



So today I choose the theme of CAS (clean & Simple) Sometimes we get carried away with embellishments so I thought this would be a refreshing change.

Such an easy image to colour, the greenery is made up with little dots of colour.

Next up on the hop is Debbie and I just know you’ll be amazed by her talent.



Don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win a Just Inklined Digital Stamp

Today’s the Day–William and Kate

So set your TV recordings and enjoy the Royal Wedding of Prince William to Kate, I’m eagerly watching to see Kate's dress and no doubt it will be as beautiful and elegant as Kate is herself.


I’ve heard all of the arguments on how much this wedding will cost the UK but just ask yourselves this…… How much will it cost for another Bank Holiday? yet I bet very few of those arguing the cost of the Wedding will refuse the extra day off work.


I for one like our Royals and think they do our country a lot of good, I know first hand that many of my friends in overseas countries are excited to watch this wedding.


Such expectations of a future king and don’t they just make a gorgeous looking couple.


As of yesterday I now have my own Mother of the Bride outfit ready for my own daughters wedding and I even found a hat that doesn’t make me look like Freddy Parrot Face.


Who ever and where ever you are enjoy this Royal Wedding day.

Dreams Really Do Come True


I used two separate digital stamps one from Just Inklined the Fairy Toadstools which are free when you join the Just Inklined group on Crafters Digital Art Center the link is on my side bar and I’d love to see you there. The other is from Crafts and Me digital stamps and is called Noon.


I coloured the artwork using Copic Sketch Markers I used the border system from Tonic Studios to create the fancy borders on the Designer paper, a ribbon some blossoms and some pearl stems and a bit of love to bring it all together.


Dreams do come true
