What a Bargain 20% Discount
A Mothers Love…
We all know that there is just something special about a Mothers love and with Mothers Day approaching for my overseas friends I thought it would be apt to make a Mothers card and also give a Mothers Day Poem or Verse for your cards.
My card is made up with an image from a Day for Daisies and is called Kiss for Sis,coloured with Copic marker and teamed with pretty designer papers ribbons and a charm, the borders was made with the Tonic Studios Border System and the circled are Spellbinders Nestabilities.
A Mothers Day Verse
I said a Mother's Day prayer for you
to thank the Lord above
for blessing me with a lifetime
of your tenderhearted love.
I thanked God for the caring
you've shown me through the years,
for the closeness we've enjoyed
in time of laughter and of tears.
And so, I thank you from the heart
for all you've done for me
and I bless the Lord for giving me
the best Mother there could be!

A Couple of Angels
Isn’t this such an angelic image by Digital Pencil Too, I kept the card clean and simple as I thought the image needed all the attention, If you love Em but needed a boy image then don't worry as Mo has this covered with John and Cal.
I used Copic Sketch markers to colour my image, a scallop edger punch some gingham paper, flowers, a couple of pearls, a ribbon and a bit of love to bring it all together.
My second angel is my Grandson Jack, we found Natalie's old Yamaha keyboard in the loft and boy did he tinkle those ivory's, in fact my ears are still ringing now.
Elton John eat your heart out, just look at him go.

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
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.

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.

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.

Oh Captain Jack at York!
Captain Jack! definitely worthy of a peck on the cheek! Ooooh Arghhhhhh!
Such a beautiful Cathedral in York don’t you think?
Beautiful inside and out!
And the quaint little narrow street were alive with folk out for the day.
So that is what I got up to on Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK, I came home worn out and shattered and curled up on the sofa with the poorly blanket.

Sadie’s Potting Bench
Isn’t this just the sweetest darn thing ever?
Sadie and The Potting Bench are by Mo Manning and they are just made for each other, I could have merged the two images together but I felt that Sadie needed to stand out a little more and I wanted you to see the cute birdhouse on the potting bench.
I used Basic Grey designer paper and coloured the images with Copic Sketch Markers used a pretty spring green satin ribbon and made some roll up roses to match the colour scheme.

Little Umbrella–Mo Manning
Well today I started a new journey on the hair front, as you know I have an important wedding ahead of me in just seven weeks I will be the Mother of the Bride and I needed something fresh doing so I had my hair highlighted and the start of a new style cut into it. So maybe it’s that that got me in a fruity mood but who knows ha ha ha.
So Little Umbrella Digital Stamp by Mo Manning was coloured and made up with a Fruit Salad feel to it. Coloured with Copic Sketch Markers and Prisma Pencils and teamed with Stampin Up designer papers, I love the fact that she is curvy.
