Drenched

I found a lovely new company to me, From The Heart Stamps, of course it would have been impolite to pass it by without a purchase, so my image today is called Drenched.

The sentiment comes with the digi stamp and I’m dedicating this card to all of the UK as I would like brilliant sunshine back please.

Paint your own Canvas

Sometimes we need to take the plunge and paint our own Canvas in life and I found just the image to express this and make an inspirational card with.

Joanie by Mo’s Digital Pencil 

Joanie

This is the figure that I am aiming for with my healthy eating, I may need a wizard to go with her to work a bit of body magic for me.

Having said that I have been back out on my bike and did a healthy 10.5 miles tonight, I’m in training for the up and coming bank holiday as I just know Chris is going push me over the weekend.

The new Kitchen–Finally

Sunday morning and the Sunday roast is cooking in the new oven and smelling divine.

we have finally got to the stage that we can show you the new kitchen, it is more like a walk in cupboard as it is only tiny but it has been a real labour of love, stripping it right back to brick work to combat the rising damp that was plaguing it.

This first picture is a panoramic view and it is a bit jumpy but you will get the gist of it from the other photos.

From Bethlehem by Mo’s Digital Pencil

Coloured with Copic Markers, chalk pencils, Pan Pastels and a white sharpie marker.

The dies I used are Spellbinders cross die set and a Cheery Lynn holly branch.

I kept it simple as the image is so vibrant I didn’t want to overwhelm it.
