On the water

Horray.  Finally we have had a sunny day without too much wind so we could get out on our new toy.  This is a photo of Gary with Plymouth in the background.

Chompy

We have finally bought a boat.  Nothing big and flash but enough for the two of us to have a bit of fun around the waters of Plymouth.

Before

After

We have given a unit we bought in the late 90's a freshen up.  We gave it a quick sand where we were painting and put a little more work into the top before we waxed it.  The paint we used was Laura Ashleys eggshell in Ivory.  We also changed the handles but kept the same hinges.

Happy days

This is the card holder I made this week.

Papermania Happy Days paper pack project

Here is a link to a lovely card that I used for inspiration to create a little project for my sister in law.

I also used the following site to inspire me.  However, instead of making it into a photo album, I used it to make a card holder.

I will add my photos of the project later.

VW camper card

The card I made recently. I used the Portobello road stamp set and colored it with Copics.

Decorated candles.

These are candles I made as a present a couple of years ago but never posted the images.  I think I decorated the charger with some ivy.  In the end I didn't use the rub on words.  I was going to make little tags for the candles but decided that they didn't need them.

I just cut strips of card and wrapped them around the candles and secured with sticky strip.  I punched out a flower and stamped the centre then secured a button in the middle before sticking it onto the candle.
