My New Secretary - Jack

Jack taking over at my desk and trying to get me organised.

he is also cutting his back teeth and found a new way of getting them through, we were on our way to the Metro Center and heard a squeeking noise, I turned to see and there he was scraping his teeth on the rubber soles of his shoes.

Hells Granny - Just Inklined

Flossy and Aubrey digital stamps from Just Inklined have teamed up and become Hells Granny, what a hoot, it reminds me of Arthur & Olive from on the Buses (TV Series)

Coloured with Promarkers then teamed up with kaisercraft papers, ribbon, blossom and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Attention to detail...

The attention to detail is in the artwork of this image, there is so much detail I thought you would like a closer view.

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.
