Hornchurch via Gatwick!

While I had the flowersoft stamps out I decided to use them to make a birthday card for my sister in law who celebrates a big birthday on Saturday. I decided to send the card and gift by Special Delivery on Tuesday so that she would receive them yesterday before she went on holiday today.  Well I should have just sent it by snail mail as it never arrived. Apparently it went to Gatwick yesterday and had to be redirected to Hornchurch today. Now I have to wait until they get back and collect the package from the delivery office before they will return the £5.20 postage charge. Oh well Babs will have a nice little pressie when she gets back, unless they lose it in the meantime.

Here is the card as it may be the last we see of it.

Unfortunately the background colours are not showing up on the photo so perhaps you can just image a light shading of blue (sky) and green (grass), difficult hey!

Well enough of my complaining. Think I'll get myself off to bed reasonably early and I'll be back tomorrow.

Oh before I go just a reminder that there is a fabulous £30 voucher up for grabs over at the Crafters Companion challenge blog so well worth entering I'm sure you'll agree.

Ours is nice house ours is!

Tuesday Taggers challenge.

Houses 

Well I can't believe it but it's Tuesday again, where does the time go?

This week the theme has been chosen by our talented teamie Janet.

Janet would like you to include houses of one kind or another, so let's see how many variations of this theme you talented bloggers can come up with this week. It never ceases to amaze me just how imaginative everyone is and the different takes on the same subject.

Right then I decided to go with a bird house on a canvas.

The birdhouse and the doves are stamps by Flowersoft and they were a bargain buy that I was alerted to by Janet herself some months ago. I used water colours to colour them,added stickles to the dove's wings and used a Big & Juicy pad to colour the sky and grass.  Used some flowersoft for detail and added some flowers from my stash.

If you'd like some inspiration why not pop over to the TT  challenge blog and check out the DT creations, they are fabulous. It would be great if you decided to join us this week.

Thank you for stopping by today and I'd love it if you would leave a comment as they really brighten my day.

Enjoy your week.

Hugs, Pat xx
