Lighthouse–From the Heart Stamps

I’m not sure what it is that draws me to Lighthouse images, maybe because when I was young I used to watch the Lighthouse from my bedroom window when I should have been sleeping blinking on and off guiding the sea vessels safely on their way or maybe because I lost a brother to the sea but I love them.

This Lighthouse digital Stamp by From the Heart Stamps is amongst my favourites, it also comes with a couple of sentiments too.

I used a pitt pastel pencil (chalk pencil) for the guiding light and I think it worked well.

The Lighthouse digital stamp

Bird Brew

With valentines just around the corner many of us struggle to find a card for our partners that isn’t pink or red or one that is gushing with soppiness but says how we feel about them.

I think Birdbrain Brew at From the Heart stamps will do very nicely.

Coloured with Copic Markers and Chalk Pencils, I also used some liquid applique on the froth, Buttons, Raffia and matting and layering to make the card complete.

All of a Flutter

You know when sometimes you just do something just for the hell of it? well that was me today.

I was getting my nails shaped when suddenly I spurted out have you got time to fit me some eyelashes? yes she said…….

I’m now hoping that I don’t look like Daisy the Cow.

What do you think?

A New Craft for me.

I have took delivery of the most sumptuous material, ever since I first got married I've wanted something for my home but have never been able to find the right size or the right look.

I found the material at Terry's Fabrics and new it was just what I needed, I need to find some trim for it and I will be giving my sewing machine a whirl.

I'm not making curtains, I'm not making cushions but I am making something that my Nanna (Grandmother) used to have.

Can you guess what I'm making?

I'm dying to get started.

 

 

Broked

Some things just make your heart melt don’t they?

This image Broked from Mo’s Digital Pencil does just that.

I felt that this card needed to be clean and simple.

Coloured with Copic Markers and chalk pencils, keeping the pastel tones soft and delicate.

The sentiment comes with the image and is perfect for it.

Last week while I was in Peterborough I bought a new pillow, I had been awaking on a morning with such pain in my neck and head and believe me I had bought and tried so many pillows trying to find some comfort, I used the powers of Facebook and I had so many people recommended the Dunlopillo that I decided to test it out, I found it in John Lewis a couple of different ones so I asked the assistant if I could try them, although a little hesitant I persuaded her to clear one of the display beds and there I was in the middle of a busy shop testing all of the pillows.

The result is 5 nights good sleep and no discomfort in the morning, a little discomfort to my purse as it was £60.00 eeeek! But to be honest I’d of paid double to get a comfy sleep.
