Hi & welcome to my blog. Today I am here to share with you, my latest creation for My Time To Craft. We have a fabulous theme for you this fortnight. I will admit one I thought would be really easy, but I did struggle with this. Even tho like everyone else I have hundreds of dies. It wasn't until our youngest Katie asked for a dino card for her friend who is struggling at Uni. Being away from home is not suiting them at all. Poor loves. So I have our Katie to thank for this make lol...

Our theme for the next fortnight is.....

Bubble Blowing Daisy

It's that fabulous time of the month again, where I share with you one of Wendy's fabulous new Digital Delights releases, which also includes digi papers & sentiments.

I just loved colouring this cutie in, she reminded me so much of our youngest Katie. She would spend hours just sitting in the garden blowing bubbles for the dog to chase lol

As I was colouring her, I thought pale colours suited her better.

Precious the Donkey

Today over at Digital Delights its my turn to be your Hostess & show you either a technique I like or just show you an image I really love.

I was going to show you how different images look coloured in different mediums (Promarkers/Flexmarkers, crayons, pencils, distress inks etc) but with starting my new job last week I just ran out of time. I will try again for next time.

So for this Monday I have one of my favourite images coloured up & popped on a card to share with you......

I just love Wendy's fab set of Donkeys, I think I have used them more than any other of Wendy's images & Precious is my favourite she is a darling!
