Christmas Dog - Bismarck

"huh, huh, huh, huh, huh is this one mine"? can you hear him saying this? Although how he will get this bone through the door I'll never know ha ha.
Bismarck is a digi image by Mo Manning and can be purchased here.
Coloured with Copic markers and teamed with Stampin Up design papers.



Attention to detail...

I added some white flock powder to Bismarcks hat to give it that fluffy look. I also added white gel pen to his fur for highlights.

EU-bloody-REKA

My Funding has come through for my Psoriasis treatment. (Etanercept (enbrel)a biological drug)

I know it has took what seems like forever to be passed due to a big mistake with my request form going to the wrong County.

I can't tell you all how thrilled I am because not only will it help my skin condition but it will also help my Arthritis. I could shout it from the roof tops.

Meet the Boys - Help the Heros

Bad back or not the show must go on.
It was ladies night at Chris's lodge and he had been asked if he would supply the entertainment, it has been 5 years since we put on a show and we had said that we were retiring from them. Old habits die hard so we still had most of the costumes tucked away in our loft.
We new that as no one was getting any younger we needed more time between acts and of course our Daughter Natalie sang in between and actually she stole the show "talented devil that she is"
It was touch and go whether I would get to it to add the lads make up but my sister in law was at hand and I was thrilled she was there. I have to say that I am suffering today but I'm pleased I made it.
I've added some of the photo's of some of the acts (click on them for a closer look) but there are many more.

The show raised £400 for our Troops "Help the Heros" so I'm sure you will agree it was a very worthy cause.

Whispering Grass and Paddy's Sicknote.



Goodness Gracious Me and Marilyn



Kiss me Honey Honey and Andy Pandy and Loopy Lou




Liza Minelli "Caberet" and our Club Landlord serving the girls oops boys!



Hey Big Spender and our Compare for the evening.

A Card - Shi Tzu - Just Inklined

Firstly I wanted to thank you all for the support you have shown me and the wonderful messages and comments from you all, it is lovely to turn on the computer and find a mass of kindness from lovely people.
I'm not out of the woods but my back is getting stronger but I had to make a card as I was going insane ha ha.

I decided on the Shi Tzu image from Just Inklined as my brothers birthday is coming up and as he has one of these cuties I thought it would make the perfect card for him.

The Shi Tzu image is by Just Inklined and only needs minimal colour adding, I used Promarkers Cinnamon and Tan. Teamed the image with paw print paper and matching ribbon and buttons.
