Blog Candy!!!!!!!

Hi Folks, pop across to visit Wendy at Stamps and Memories as she has a surprise Blog Candy in celebration of her blog being a year old but be quick it's only open until 5 July!!! And not even I know what it will be. All you have to do is leave a message for her and spread the word. You can also see us this weekend at Newbury show, I will be there on Saturday demonstrating the fab Impression Obsession stamps and getting in my usual mess in the process. Do pop by and see us if you are planning a visit.

Anyway hope to be back soon with a card as it's been such a long time since I have posted.

Hope you are all OK and take care everyone

Second of the day and a huge challenge!!

Well, I know that I don't blow my own trumpet often but I am so pleased with how I managed to colour this image!! I thought after I had bought it, that perhaps I was being rather ambitious, but have genuinely surprised myself just a shame about the quality of the photo, I was losing the natural light. It must be the Copic talents of Wendy and Karen rubbing off on me, but I still have so much to learn!! I think I will be using this image loads more, because I just love his gorgeous face and big paws!!! This card I am entering into a few challenges, the first being my favourite challenge

Oh my goodness. . . . . . . . .

I can't believe it has been so long since I have blogged a card!!! We have been so busy and I now feel like a member of a grounds maintenance team!!! Hubby having taken on the fishing rights of a local lake, which also involves the maintenance of it, means that he has less time for other things so the work on the allotment has slipped behind. I have now been trained to use the petrol lawn mower and can dig the veg beds! I have spent the day today making a couple of cards as I have a really painful back, which speaks for itself!!
The first card I'm going to enter into
