Trouble Maker - Kenny K

Trouble Maker digi stamp by Kenny K, personally I think this one is too cute to be trouble.
Coloured with Copic markers then cut our and mounted onto the card with foam pads, design paper is by DCWV I added a bit of glitter to this but it isn't showing on the photo, the diecut swirl is a Sizzix Bigz die then a floral arangement at the corner of the card.
All that was left to add was a little bit of love to bring it all together.

Flossy and Aubrey digital stamps from Just Inklined have teamed up and become Hells Granny, what a hoot, it reminds me of Arthur & Olive from on the Buses (TV Series)

Attention to detail...

The attention to detail is in the artwork of this image, there is so much detail I thought you would like a closer view.

Old photographs found

A rare find, my brother Alan came across a website hosting many photograph from where we live and whilst browsing through the pictures he stumbled upon some of our family.
The first photograph below is from 1920 they were amateur boxes I've marked all of the photographs with an arrow so you can see who they are.
this one is a picture with my Granda in, he's my mams dad, we haven't got this picture so it was wonderful to find it. he was quite a sporty guy in his youth and in fact in his very late years he was still known to play snooker and billiards.

This is from the amateur operatic society below is a photograph with both my Dad and his sister Auntie Alice, another photograph that we had never seen.


Below is a picture of my Brother Russell staring in Oliver, we already had this photograph but i thought you might like to see it.

My Mam has been reminiscing and finding loads of her friends on the site of bygone years, isn't the Internet wonderful?


I do hope I haven't bored you all.
