Ours is nice house ours is!

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

Quick hello.

Good morning one and all.  Afraid I haven't got any cards or projects to post today but thought I would just wish you all a good bank holiday.   I really do hope you have better weather where you are than we have here. It's been really dull all morning and now it's begun to rain.  
We haven't planned to do anything so I think I will get stuck into some DT work after lunch as I really do need to get on with it.  I'm struggling to get motivated lately but once I get going I'm OK.  I've also got a couple of family cards to get done for next week so I'd better get my act together.  I bought a Christine Coleman project DVD in the week and am itching to start on that but I really must resist if I'm to get the DT work done.  So many projects, so little  time!
As you know I have a thing about ribbon and was thrilled to bits yesterday when I picked up some fabulous packs from Poundland. They had packs of 5 different ribbons 1 mt of each for, yes you got it a £ and so I got 5 packs of different colours.  In the week I spent my voucher from Donna's Den that I won on the Just Inspirational challenge blog and guess what I got, yes you got it more ribbon. 
Better go as I wont get much done sitting here will I?
Oh nearly forgot, there's a new challenge blog started today Keep it Simple which you might want to check out.
Have a good BH,
Hugs, Pat xx

Inspired by a poem


Tuesday Taggers challenge
Inspired by a poem


This week at Tuesday Taggers we would like you to choose a poem to inspire your creation.  So come on then get those thinking caps on and see what you can come up with.  We don't really care what kind of poem it is, be it serious literature or a little ditty that takes your fancy (as long as it's  tasteful if you get my drift!)

I chose a poem called The Great Outdoors by Britni Hart to make this card for my Son in Law. He's just got himself some camping gear and is raring to get back to nature.



The papers are Basic Grey and the tent image and the sun are digi stamps by Pixie Dust Studio

Right then,what came first the poem or the card? I'll let you decide!

Please do pop over to the TT challenge blog to check out the fabulous creations the fantastic DT have come up with and please join us this week.  Just a thought, you may want to write your own little ditty which would make it doubly creative.

Thank you for stopping by today I really do appreciate it


Hugs,
Pat xx
