Dare you to digi stamp Friday challenge

Hi hope everyone is having a good Wednesday, we have no children for 2 nights, I say children my daughter is 17 and she is away with the church on a camp, and my youngest who is 13 is away on a respite stay, he has special needs so the break is most welcome. The house seems eerily quiet though. Hubby just taken me out for Pizza Express for lunch, it was yummy, trouble is I now want to go for an afternoon nap....lol. Does anyone remember their Dads doing that on a Sunday??...I certainly can, its a sign of getting old ...lol.

This is my entry for Dare to digi stamp challenge, this week the challenge is to distress, hopefully the torn paper looks distressed...



This image is another from the talented Mo Manning and its 'Sumpin's wrong', poor little man is trying to dress himself....I think this is such a gorgeous image and I really enjoyed colouring him in with my Prisma markers.


The papers are Brenda Waltons 'Small wonders' and the image is matted on coredinations.

Brads from stash



I really enjoyed making this card, it may be because I am super broody at the mo, as I am expecting my 1st grand child in 7 weeks and I am so excited....I am sure you will hear plenty about him when he arrives...(along with many photos....lol;-).

Thanks for looking, take care.

Friday Sketchers challenge



Hi, hope everyone is well, can't beleive I am being such a good little blogger this week...I even have a card already lined up to blog tomorrow.


Here is my entry for the Friday Sketchers challenge which this week is a sketch by Jeanette, I hope this counts as i couldnt work out what to put in the top left corner, hopefully it will be ok.


The image is a digi stamp from a very talented lady called Mo Manning, and I am sure if you havn't already discovered her you will over the next few weeks or so. This lady is incredibly talented and she has just gone into the digital stamp side of things and her images are just gorgeous. Pop over to her blog and have a look, bet you can't resist.
I have coloured the image with my Prisma markers, (think I'm slowly getting the hang of these.)
I added some 3d clear glaze to the water, think this gives it quite a good effect.
Coredinations cardstock embossed with Fiskars 'raindrops' embossing board, with cuttlebug.
Brads from stash.
Thanks for looking.
See you soon
