Terry

This is another Pollycraft image called Heartstrings, its my friend Terry's birthday next week and shes had a pretty rough time of it just lately so I thought this card was apt. I coloured it with copics, used my minds eye papers, two chipboard flowers that I covered with paper and inked the edges, decided I didn't like them so covered the front with glitter, much happier, a couple of brads from stash.

Hiya, I was a realy lucky girl last week I won second place in Pollycraft's Blog Hop I received a £10 voucher to spend in their brill store, so I got 10 digi's and this is my first one its called Aurelia Christmas in a basket, isn't she sweet, and it made a nice change to colour somthing different, I've used her to make my great neice's Christmas card but I think you could also use it for a birthday as well.
I coloured her with copics, used some freebie papers out of a mag I think they are Keiser, Nesties, XCut snowflake, flower gems and lace from stash.

Hi there, well we've had a right funny old day today, they turned the electric off on our street at 8.30 and it wasn't coming back on untill 16.30, so we decided to go and do the pick ups for work, we had divertions and convoy cars so what should have taken us two and a half hours ended up being over four hours, and then I had to work in the dark this afternoon.
Ive used another one of Mo's digi's coloured with copics, paper is some I brought from QVC and not used yet its only a couple of years old, and bazill card, thats it really quite a simple one but I don't think boys like to much on their cards. I'm entering it into the following

Hi there, can't believe its Tuesday again, how the weeks are flying by. We have had two customers in the workshop this week asking for furniture to be reupholstered before Christmas, It amazes me why folks would want their furniture all clean and new just for Aunty Ethel to spill her red wine over, but hey its work and if thats what they want, then who am I to turn them down.

A great sketch from Dawn at ICS this week, she totally amazes me how she keeps coming up with these sketches. Remember you can do what you like with the sketch as long as we can still see it.

This one is for Holly the image is from Pollycraft, thank you very much, the background is a little bat stamp I found silver embossed, ribbon from stash, I coloured the image with copics.
