Sailor Boy and Dog

Mo Manning has the most gorgeous little boy set of digi stamps out called Sailor Boys available from Mo’s Digital Pencil and I was itching to get started with them, I used Sailor Boy 1 and the Sailor Boy Dog for my card.

Within the set you get a few extras, I also used the toy soldiers on my card as an embellishment.

Coloured with Promarkers and Copic Markers.

I love that the dog has been dressed up too, I used to dress up my Siamese cat in my Tiny Tears dolls clothes when I was little.

Spellbinders Cross–As Easy as 1,2,3

No ink required.

I got the inspiration for these cards from my friend Emily as I have 2 Christenings coming up and loved the simplicity.

I over wrapped my cards on top of a pink card as our new babies are both of the girl variety.

I thought I should show two cards today as I lost a whole day with a migraine on Wednesday and spent the whole day in bed.

Luckily I had pictures of Jack all ready to go.

Lickitysplit

My two boys enjoying an ice cream at Licketysplit this evening.

Just Jack

I told you we had Jack for the afternoon the other day and we had wanted to take him to the seaside but as it happened the tide was in. We had already told him that we were going to buy a bucket and spade and that he could build sand castles.

So Granda to the rescue and as we couldn’t take Jack to the beach to play in the sand, good old Granda brought the beach to Jack.

Two of Us-005

Jack totally loved it and played for hours.

The next one is another from him watering the flowers for me.

Two of Us-006

Love that boy.

He is visiting us tonight and we get to get him ready for bed before his Mam picks him up.

I used Nitwit papers for my digital scrapbook layouts.
