Just Goes To Show .......

Well, what can you do?? You plan your holiday, you pack for every eventuality but it just goes to show mother Nature didn't get the memo !! We set off for our holiday early Wednesday morning, all excited and looking forward to a great week in Cornwall. From the moment we got on the M5, the heavens opened and just never stopped. Arrived at the site, and the lovely lady on reception let us know they had had some heavy rain and the ground was pretty wet. If only, the ground was waterlogged. We moved to a different pitch and the trailer tent was set up between showers. Well, if only that had been the last of it we could have coped, but no, it rained and rained and rained. By Friday, it was pretty obvious we couldn't stay there any longer and after just 60 hours we packed up and drove home along with thousands of others who had also given up. Never mind, we'll just try again next year.

Anyway, well done to everybody who took part in the last challenge, there were some great entries. This fortnights challenge at Here Come the Boys is a sketch challenge and here is my offering. Sorry for the poor photos.

I have used a Molly Bloom image from a magazine freebie and for the first time ever I have used my Polychromos. I have had these pencils for 6 months but never really knew how to use them with the blender stumps and Odourless Mineral Spirit, but fellow blog teamie Mandz did a photo tutorial and I have been practising. Not perfect yet but getting there.

I cut out a star and used another magazine freebie for the sentiment.

Added some stars to continue the star theme I have used.

Anyway, many apologies for the quick post, we are going to have a day out to make up for our ruined hols, so please have a great day, let me know you have visited by leaving a comment and I will 'see' you next time

Well I am going to say good morning but it's not such a bright and sunny day here in Boston today, makes you wonder what is happening with the weather doesn't it?

There were some fantastic entries for the Jungle challenge, well done to the winner Kelly Lloyd, your card was fab. So here we are with another challenge from Here Come The Boys. This fortnights challenge is Boys Toys. I spend a lot of my time driving, and see many 'boys' out in their little racing cars, so here is my take on Boys Toys.
I have used a Teddy Bo image this time

I have used papers from my stash, and I have coloured  my image with a combination of Promarkers and Copics, I have listed these at the end.

Again I have used clouds in my background, I just love this technique, so easy and effective. It can be found here

I made my banners from my stash and added the 3 yellow buttons, the Wish stamp is from Stampavie .

Markers Used :
Teddy Bo : E31, Y21, E33
Jumper : PM Azure
Car : PM Yellow, Y15
Car Accents : R29
Ground : C1

Thank you for stopping by, it's always great to know you have been by so please leave a comment.
