Project of the Month - Vintage

Its that time again and this Month's theme for the Blog Hop is Vintage and our host is Debbie and that's is where the blog hop begins.
So I chose a once upon a time approach to it and did the fairy that lived at the bottom of my Grandmothers garden.
We will hold this every third Thursday of the month , we aim to give you a little inspiration and hopefully a few Oooo's and Awe's along the way.
The Dream Team is made up with some of the most talented ladies so be sure to give them all a visit.
This Month my image is Finna and she can be purchased here



I have used Copic Markers and sakura pens to colour her, she twinkles much more than is shown in the image. I coloured some wooden hearts and my flower center with the copic markers too. I teamed the image with DCWV cotton linen paper and used lace ans a ribbon die cut flower and frames to embellish
I figured that Vintage doesn't have to be brown so I'm hoping you agree with me.




Next up on the blog hop is one of our new team members Bea so pop by and leave her a comment
Once you have done the Blog Hop why not give the Dream Team blog a visit there are many more wonderful creations on there just for you inspiration the link is on my side bar.

Some Thank You's

I just wanted to say a few thank yous to everyone who has donated to the Help for Katie fundraising that I have been doing, I know the goods that you get in return are a very big sweetener to people that donate but without your kind hearts this wouldn't be possible.


Also everyone who hopped over to Katie's blog and left her words of encouragement I know just how much it means to her and Katie writes an incredible journey of what is happening to her.


Katie has had her 2nd batch of chemo and is just coming out of the other side of this now as it left her weak and fatigued this time round and in Katie's words "very foggy"
Katie has took control of her hair loss situation and got Kevin (husband) to shave her head, which as you can imagine wouldn't have been an easy task for wither of them.


I am sharing a couple of Katie's photo's with you today.

So onto the fundraising, we have raised a great amount but i know that with your help we can do even better so please please tell everyone you know about the fundraising and lets do our utmost to help Katie and her family.

Picture Perfect and Blog Candy

I coloured her with Copic markers and a bit of Sakura sparkly pen on her wings, teamed with Bo Bunny papers and a baby pink sheer ribbon.

Now wouldn't that be a neat prize to win? I love the idea of creating your own Angel maybe to give to a sick friend or to someone who has touched your heart.
