Tartan Terror

We had a little Scottie dog for many years. He had a fab character and was always getting into mischief.

This little chap reminds me of him!

The tartan backing paper was matted onto a black card blank, and the image of little Scottie was mounted onto foam pads and centred on the tartan.

I wish Fred would sit that still when I wanted to take a picture of him, LOL!

Christmas is coming....

These trwo little chaps are my first attempt using my new CD-ROM

Aren't they just sooooo cute!

My Latest Christmas Aquirement

These CD-ROMS arrived today from Ideal World's Create & Craft TV. After watching the demo's I loved the idea of making squeezie cards!
I've now made two of the cards on the Christmas Furry Friends disc, and they are so cute - I think my card buying friends will be wanting some of these when they are ready!

My New Martha Stewart Punches

I love a bargain as much as the rest of you, so when I saw these on the Toady's Special Value on QVC the other day, I just could not resist, and went ahead and ordered them...

The three punches are brand new to the MS range, and having watched the demo's and drooled over them (I know, how sad), Paul said, "for goodness sake order them!"

Don't you just love a supportive hubby!

My order was placed on Craft Day (Saturday) and I received my parcel on Tuesday - Great service or what!

Anyway, to cut a long story short - I have my lovely new punches and you get to see my first effort in using them!

I have to admit I was quite pleased with the result.

Mike

Mike goes in for his eye operations this coming week, and finally, after over 12 months, he should be able to enjoy his little MX-5 with the lid down and the sun shining.

He has had to pretty much live permanently in sunglasses, both indoors and outdoors, as the light hurts his eyes too much.

When I saw this image, I realised it was perfect for the occasion. I particularly love the art deco feel of it, and therefore chose a font for the type written notes that fell into this theme

Good Luck for Tuesday Mike, we'll be thinking about you. xx

Scottie Dog

This lovely little chap was a free download sheet from Printable Heaven. It's a lovely little website, and often offers free down loadable images if you register with them.

I particularly loved this one, as we had a Scottie dog for many years, before we got Fred.

A Fishy Dilemma

There are only so many cards for fishermen that you can come up with, and this is my latest attempt.

I gave the person who asked for the card, a few other standard birthday cards to choose from along with this one, and happily, she chose this to give as the birthday card from her.

I used watercolour pencils to get the pale colours needed to finish the image off.
