Meadow Cottage Bears

 Afternoon peeps.......another glorious day....it is very very hot, long may it continue. Crafter's Companion launched fabulous new range yesterday Meadow Cottage Bears as a Pick of the Week on Create and Craft Sara is on again at 1pm tips afternoon with more tips and demos.

This is one of the frame cards from the CD Rom..isn't it adorable?

It reminds me of my grandmother and I :O)

she taught me to knit when I was 4......she was a remarkable woman and I miss her dearly.

She sadly lost her sight and had to give up knitting in the end......she was an inspiration to many!

I'm so proud to have been her granddaughter and that her talents were passed on to myself :O)

Love you Nana.....I know both you and Papa are looking down and so very proud of my achievments

here is a close up of the decoupaged image!

Summer Adorables by Jayne Nesterenko

Evening peeps thought I would share another card with you this evening.......I have used my Cute Companions Summer Adorables by the talented Jayne Nesterenko for Crafter's Companion and since the weather here in Scotland is Scorchio I thought this image is very apt for where I live........ on an island by the seaside.....I am very blessed to live where i do and i love it!!

I have used Special Friend and made a little scene...........

I stamped my Special Friend images using Memento ink and coloured using Spectrum Noir Pens

The scene is from the Adorable Summer CD Rom and i have doodled around the edge using Whispers pens.
