hAnglar & stAnglar stamped card

This is a first for me, I managed to get a set of hAnglar & stAnglar stamps from ebay heaven they are like hens teeth to find. I coloured this cutie pie with Prisma pencils I didn't blend with sansoder or gamasol or even baby oil, I blended with a white Prisma pencil.
Blossom, lace and ribbon. a few pearls and a Basic Grey DP and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Attention to detail...

I used a large flower punch and punched out 2 pink blossoms on one of the blossoms i nipped off the edges of the petals with another punch then buffed the petals with a pink ink pad, the centre is one of the Prima flower centres.


A piece of lace and a sheer pink ribbon tied in a bow, the little dress I stamped twice so I could 3d the image.

Jack singing for his supper

jack had been to the swimming baths today with his Mam and Uncle Craig, Auntie Claire and cousin Alfie and they had thouroughly enjoyed themselves.
Afterwards Lauren brought him over as it is Natalie's (daughter) birthday and after crawling around and pulling himself up on all of the furnature he decided it was snack time, he hasn't quite mastered the fact that you need to keep your mouth closed whilst eating and also that singing whilst food is in your mouth makes it fall out miss the tray and land on Grans floor.
I'm hoping that those of you following me are receiving this ok as i know there is some of you just getting a title at the moment. I am working on a fix for it as are a few of the techy helpers at feedblitz.

Poor Jack

Lauren came with Jack on Monday as we watch him whilst she runs a slimming club and I was really busy uploading a card to my blog when she asked "what shall I do with him because I have to go" so funnily I said "just stick him in the cupboard" so she opened the cupboard door which is the utility cupboard and this was the result.
Mmmm I think he like it ha ha!

Sometimes simplicity just shines through.
i had this Through the Trees stamp set by Papertrey Ink sitting on my desk, i was looking at it thinking I was going to get into an inky mode when I stamped the trees onto the card this happened, I no longer thought getting inky was the way to go.

Sad Story

Today we went to sign for a new car and in doing so met with a great fellow who was there to entertain the Children of parents visiting the showroom (Magic Mick) now I couldn't resist the opportunity of having my very own magic balloons made up, Mick told us that while he was entertaining some terrible person had stolen his iPhone, they should be utterly ashamed of themselves, this is a guy who was there to entertain the children trying to make an honest living, shame on you that took it.
Anyway mick was so lovely and if you are in the North east and need a children's entertainer for parties or you need a mobile disco then Mick is your man, he can be found at magicredfearn@aol.com
Below is my daughter holding my prized possession from mick.
