Emergency Call Outs, Thunder and Lightning

Well what an afternoon, we had gone shopping in brilliant sunshine and came out to this at 3pm.

I happened to say to Chris if those clouds touch we are in for one heck of a storm.

I looked over the water to this.

The little black dot you can see on the right is a sailing boat.

We got home just as the thunder and lightening started, the heavens opened and it poured, we sat in the car not wanting to brave the rain to take in the shopping but it just kept falling, flashes of lightening from all around us and the thunder cracking just after it.

We sat around 20 minutes then Chris’s alerter for the fire brigade went off, he has just got back and there were two houses struck by the lightening and then another call out to a house that was flooded.

Thankfully it has now calmed down.

Pride and Joy

Another fun character by Dr Digi’s, this one is called Pride and Joy.

Chris (husband) said the sheep should have a worried expression and the farmer should have a glint in his eye but that is him just being naughty ha ha!

I thought this would make a wonderful card for the man in your life with the twist on the words “Love Ewe” Coloured with Promarkers and FlexMarkers by Letraset and teamed with Stampin Up designer papers and Fantastic Ribbons ribbon and buttons.

Home made Ice Lollies

Todays post has me remembering the Ice Lollies my Mam used to make, we had Ice Lolly moulds from Tupperware, they were the juiciest ice-lollies in the land, we used to experiment with flavours.

The only downside to it was when the ice-cream van came round, I was told to get an ice-lolly out of the freezer.

Summer boy is by Mo’s Digital Pencil and I’m figuring that he has a raspberry ice lolly clenched in his hand.

Coloured with Copic markers and teamed with Papertrey Ink dotted paper and DCWV striped paper.

he’s definitely ready to give someone a soaking.

Elegant Slipper Tutorial

I had a day of searching yesterday because I couldn’t remember where I originally got the slipper template from, I had it for such a long time and I made a plastic template from the original so that it didn’t get tattered.

The good news is I found it, so many of you had asked for it and I couldn’t give a link or credit yesterday.

The place I got it from and there is also a video tutorial for it so fill your boots and have fun.
