Braveheart Bo

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well.

We had an awful day weather wise here in Warwickshire yesterday (I think most people in the UK did) it rained and rained and rained ~ only clearing up at tea time.  There was a 'lake' outside our gates in the road because the drain that is there couldn't cope with the amount of water!

Today I have a Birthday card to share ~ made for a very good friend who just happens to be Scottish.  He and his wife are the breeders that two of our Beardies have come from ~ they show their dogs and every year at Crufts he wears his full Scottish regalia ~ I have photographic proof of this!  So, when I saw this image I thought it was perfect.

There is an awful lot of detail in this image and took me forever to colour it in!

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well.

Well what a stunning weekend we had weather wise here in Warwickshire ~ we even managed a barbecue on Saturday evening and stayed out until well after dark as it was so warm.

Today I have a Birthday card to share ~ not made for anyone in particular ~ but will go in my card box for future use.

First time I have inked this stamp up ~ but it could fast become one of my favourites me thinks!

Tulip Jungle

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well.

Just a quick share today, as I am very busy ~ I am trying to get another eBay sale going and I forget how time consuming it is.

So, today I am sharing a card made for one of my friends.

This is one of my most 'inked' up stamps ~ it comes out time and time again as it is so suitable for so many occasions.

Sweet Little Donkey

Hello everyone out there in blogland  .....

Firstly, I want to say a HUGE thank you to Debby who very kindly pointed out that she couldn't leave a comment on my blog ~ I checked this out and there was definitely a problem.  It worked when I first set up this blog and now it doesn't?  I spent some time checking all the settings and finally managed to get it working by enabling the little window that pops up on most peoples blogs to leave a comment ~ I will never know what went wrong, but I am very glad to have now sorted it.  So, if you have been trying to leave a comment and couldn't, it is now fixed.

Anyhoo, here is my share for today ~ a Birthday card for my Mom and her birthday is today.

My Mom adores donkeys so I thought this image was perfect.  

I have decided my long winded descriptions of how the cards on this blog have been created are a little tedious to read, so I am going to try and just 'itemise' what I have used instead ~ let me know what you think.
