Cheryl Seslar Easter Bunny Comp


This is my entry for the Cheryl Seslar Easter Bunny competition. I have watercoloured the image and used my cuttlebug for the matting and layering. The sentiment wording is Ewardian Script. I added flowers from my stash and found some ribbon for the bow.

New Designs




I have designed 2 new cards for cardmakingdownloads and am pleased with them as it is early days with designing. The aeroplane is a spitfire a model plane built by my neighbour. We went to see him fly the plane at a place called Granadilla in the south of Tenerife. They have a special airfield there for model aircraft. Unfortunatley he crashed it just after I took the picture.

May 2010 Gwens 70th Birthday











We went to our friends 70th Birthday at her friends house. A great afternoon was had by all.
Here are a few pictures. Jack who is our neighbour is a great friend of Gwens and can be seen most Sundays giving Gwen a lift to church. Here he is hanging on to the post. I am not sure why. Could it have been the vino or perhaps he is looking for one of his aeroplanes. We will celebrate Jacks 80th Birthday later this year. Gwen has a safe seat next to my other half. Also I managed ot get a few great pictures of some hybiscus and bird of paradise. Perhaps another card in the making.
