Good morning peeps, hope you are all well and enjoying yourselves. Time, for me at the moment is very precious and I have had to take a back seat with blogging but do hope to catch up with all my buddies real soon. The de-cluttering process is going great, I should never be allowed so much storage space cos I am a hoarder but whey hey I have reduced a triple double wardrobe to less than one and helped clothe the homeless into the bargain! OMG it was like Hazel giving Viv the same treatment in Emmerdale. Thank goodness only 3 more bedrooms to go and smaller wardrobes so should be much easier!
This week we have a fabulous theme for you at Lili of the Valley
This week we have a fabulous theme for you at Lili of the Valley
One for the Boys
I now find this challenge so much easier especially with the wonderful range of stamps available at Lili of the Valley and what a snip they are at only £3.75 each. Have you checked out the fabulous new Christmas Range yet, if not, why not - go on take a look and spoil yourself, you know you´re worth it?
I have coloured "By the River" from the Boys/Mens Collection available from Lili of the Valley , with both copics and prismas and added only the lightest touch of glamour dust - cutting out with my nesties. Papers are My Mind´s Eye Bloom & Grow, sentiment from Stampin Up, gems and charm from stash. I did pinch a wee bit of hubby´s twine, which he uses for the rigging on his model ships, to attach the charm.
Challenges:
Crafty Creations - Transportation ... my charm
Crazy 4 Challenges - Anything book related ... Down by the riverside ... Tanah Keeta Song Book
Cupcakes - Books and Stories ... As Above
Fab´n´Funky - What'eva
The Crafty Pad - Lemon, Lime and Mango
Stampin´Sisters in Christ - Water either in word or image
Truly Scrumptious - Sketch with optional extra to use a knot ... I tied 3 on the twine
