Just check out that black eye ha ha!
Rocky is a digi stamp from Just Inklined and perfect for the man in your life, weather it is a congratulations ”pleased you didn’t throw in the Towel” kind of card or a general Birthday or Anniversary card.
Coloured with Promarkers , his black eye was made with a pencil and some finger smudging, I used the Core’dination paper pad for the tearing part and found some applique stars in my stash to add to the card.
I thought it was about time that I added some Blog Candy in way of thanks to all you wonderful people out there that pop by each day and for the wonderful comments you often leave me, Mosyt of you have been here since day one and have seen me go through good times and bad and I wanted you all to know how much I appreciate that.

As a child I spent many a day with my Nanna and Granda at the beach and Nanna liked nothing better than to paddle in the sea, we would spend hours collecting pretty pebbles and shells and when we got home we would decorate plant pots with them, I even once got to decorate a small wall in her garden. I used to love the smell of the salty sea on them, I still today love the smell of the sea.
The image I used to day brought all of those memories flooding back the image is Mummu in Summer from Mo’s Digital Pencil thank you Mo.
Coloured with Copic Marker, the pretty paper was out of my stash I think it is from a My Minds Eye pad, a ticket stamped with Whimsy ticket stamps, pretty flowers and dainty dots from Dainty Paperie and a beautiful satin ribbon from Fantastic Ribbons
Did I tell you my Nanna told the most amazing stories, not from a book, all from her imagination, she used to describe all the fine details and had me memorised I still remember some of them today.
Here is a scrapbook layout that I made about her. I’m the baby with dark hair and my cousin Susan is the fair haired baby.
Such a sweet image this one, Home Tweet Home from Mo’s Digital Pencil, so easy to colour too, I printed it twice and decoupaged the birds and the sign to add some dimension.
the image was cut out after colouring with Copic markers then the extra layers added with foam pads, I used the Cuttlebug and a Sizzix embossing folder for the leaf design and the bottom designer paper is by Stampin Up, I added some little birdie foot prints to that then used a fancy sentiment die by Spellbinders to cut out the sentiment, lastly I slotted a ribbon through the die and added some lace trim.
I know you probably thought you were in for a long winter when I started to post Christmas cards and I can just see you all scrambling to get out the winter duvet but STOP! here is a summer scene to warm the cockles of your hearts again.
Ebony at the beach is a digi stamp from Make it Crafty
Coloured with Copic Sketch Markers I used the Martha Stewart flourish punch (dicontinued now) to edge the image and another craft punch for the borders some lace from Dainty Paperie and some vintage binding tape as ribbon, the designer papers are from Stampin Up.

He has lots to learn as he has never blogged before but he did manage his first posting, he has loads of pictures needing adding to his blog and many which I haven’t yet shown but I know he would be thrilled if you left him a comment or two for encouragement and followed him through this. you can visit him here at The Making of Wynyard Lane
