Game on!

Hello lovely people,

I know you have all been waiting with baited breath for an update so I won't disappoint...

2 sleeps until the final exams for my prescribing course - double eek!

5 sleeps until beer festival

5 sleeps until my next coffee and cake date with my lovely friends Sue and Debs (date moved so now I get to have cake and a little natter followed by beer festival all on the same day!)

8 sleeps until holibobs

15 sleeps until my birthday

I hope you have all had some sunshine over the weekend; I have certainly been enjoying it, especially with a fab trip to Bourton-on-the-Water today for lunch with some family :-)

It was perfect weather for driving in the new car with the roof down and my new sunglasses :-)

Ok, ok, crafting yes...I do have a card to share!

I have been playing with another of the awesome new images from LOTV and after making a few cards with Jasmine, I thought it was Oliver's turn!

I wanted a softer look to the image to match the papers so I stamped the image with dark grey ink and used my Inktense pencils.
I was pretty happy with how it turned out, given I'm still a beginner with these pencils.

  10. Ooh you are lovely Kat, loving the countdown! Well jel' about the trip to Bourton-on-the-Water too. I love that lil' town. One of my favourite trips around England some years back included a gorgeous visit there. Love the lil' stone bridge over the water by the Cotswold Company store. (Is the store still there?!) Loving the sound of the new car (soft top obviously?!). Do get hubby to take a shot for us of you in it like that. All sounds rather glam and magical!

    Gorgeous card today. Love the paper combo, utterly perfect for this image with your fabulous soft Inktense colouring. Love the soft effect they give. Beautifully done and brilliant boys image too. Love it! Big hugs, Wends x
