Moving Along With The Times
and our lovely boss Hazel is hostess this week and she has chosen the theme of
'Hazel's Sketch'
And what a fab sketch she has designed for us! I really enjoyed working with it. I thought I'd make the digi image big and the main focus of the card.
I have chosen another fab Mo Manning image! I can't resist them - and think I have a bit of an addiction!! LOL Anyway, this cute image is called 'Duck Day' and I think it's perfect for Spring Birthdays or Easter!
The gorgeous paper is First Edition "Up, Up and Away" - I bought it a while back from my local craft shop. The half circles are Nesties and sentiment is from Pink Petticoat. I've added some of my favourite Hero Art Gems from My Crafty Heart.
These little chicks take me right back to when I was a child. Mum used to take my brother and I to John Lewis Department Store every Easter. They would have bunnies, lambs and fluffy little chicks!! All SO cute!! When I was about five or six though I remember being really heartbroken because they weren't there!! There was just a big sign saying - due to the foot and mouth epidemic!!! I asked mum where they were and she said that they were all ill !! which just made me even more upset!!! poor mum, in the end she consoled us by taking us to the restaurant for a Knickerbocker Glory!!
I've coloured with Flexmarkers, Promarkers and Copics for Skin. Some Star Dust Stickles on the puddles and raindrops!
We are sponsored this week by the fab Crafty Emma's Store.
I hope you can pop on over to MAWTT for more details of the Challenge and also to look at my teamies wonderful creations! hope you can visit them all and give them some Love!!
