Going to the Chapel and We’re

Ok so now and again  have to let Chris get some glory on my blog and to be fair I think he deserves some credit as not only is his models amazing but as of today he has been off the cigarettes for 24 days so I think even without the models he deserves a round of applause.

His project this time was a Church which is very apt considering that our daughter will be wed on Saturday 11th June, so without further ado the first 4 images are the Church in the making.

All the images are clickable so that you can get a better look at them and all are to the scale

4mm to the foot or 00 scale and he gets the model sheets from Scalescenes here

 

 

The next four images are of the finished model and once again he has worked his magic and added lights inside the Church to light up the stained glass windows.

Please leave Chris some love in way of a comment and he does read them all.

Bossy and Willy the Kid

I thought I’d have a play using a couple of digi stamps, one from Mo’s Digital Pencil and another from Just Inklined 

Willy the Kid in the background is just about to take a pop at Bossy knickers teddy bear and believe me when I say she aint none too pleased about it. ha ha if you keep reading further down this post I will introduce you to the real Willy the Kid

Bossy is by Mo’s Digital Pencil

Willy the Kid by Just Inklined

and the real Willy the Kid  is my brother Russell and I have to admit Bossy reminds me of myself when I was that age.

Fresh Flowers

They say that everything happens for a reason and I’m a firm believer in that. I was a little down in spirits today as it is my brother Russell's memorial and we also have Fathers Day looming so June is always a difficult time for me, so it’s always a welcoming feeling when you get fresh flowers delivered to your doorstep.

Look what I received.

So beautiful I just had to take some close up pictures

As good as picking them yourself from a top florists in London.

Man at Work–Mens Card

Man at Work is a new digi stamp by Just Inklined and can be bought individually here or as part of a set here

Coloured with Copic Markers and the background was airbrushed, I made a little fishing hook with a head pin and some feathers to embellish the card and attached it on natural binding tape, a few layers of coloured card and it was done.

and the hook

Pardon me Vicar!

Tonight was the rehearsal Wedding for Daughter Lauren and her husband to be. Her Dad (my husband) had to be at the Fire Station tonight too, so it was decided he would go to the station first and I would sit in the car and wait until he could leave, roughly 15 mins.

In that time he got one of the lads to make me a cuppa and bring it out to the car for me (it just happened to be my nephew who I think very highly of) So it only took Chris 10 minutes so I still had plenty of tea in my cup so I drank it on the way to and in the Church grounds.

On returning Chris dropped me off at home and then returned to the Station and I reminded him to take the cup out of the car, which he did and took it to wash it out. Only then did it become apparent to what I'd been drinking out of.

Sorry if this offends anyone but I have blotted out what it actually says but you will get the gist of it I’m sure.

Needless to say this could have been a very embarrassing situation Vicar!

Craig my Nephew swears he didn’t know but he has gone right down in my estimation.

The Big One

Gosh this really is The Big One by Mo’s Digital Pencil and just look at this little guy go!

Coloured with Copic Markers and teamed with Stampin Up designer papers that compliment it perfectly, I made the card into an easel card and used the Go Kreate dies for the top part of the easel.
