Dragonsdream, tag it on...Walk like an Egyptian

Here's my tag for this weeks challenge on Dragonsdreams.
The photo's not so good.... i cant take photos!!! There is gilding on the head-dress but it doesnt show up very well on here, 'Egypt' is stamped on a seed pod, and theres a little clay figure head i made from an art mould.
Thanks for taking time to look.

High hopes challenge



Think this little lad and his old dog are wonderful.Sorry the picture isnt very good... camera playing up and the scanner refuses to work.... anyway ... the challenge is to 'Doodle'... so i have done lots of faux stitching...scribbly bits round the edges and twiddly bits in all the circles on the backing papers. This is my 1st entry in this challenge as well so hope 'high -hopers' like it.xxx

friday sketchers challenge


Love this layout... if allowed i'll use it again and again. I like monochrome and paperartsy stamps lend themselves perfectly. My 1st time entering this challenge so hope some of you like it and that i've used a lovely sketch correctly.xxx

Magnolia down under challenge.

This is my very 1st entry in a blog challenge... 'flutter by butterfly'. I hope i get the link right and that you experienced challenge bloggers like it... a little at least. xxx



This and the 2 atcs below are themed 'baby love', this one i still have as its my favourite of the 3, the other 2 have been swapped on the sheenie forum so i hope whoever got them liked them.



Nanny was 90 in february, i gave her this card and the one below the girls helped make and gave her... it had to have 2 little girls on... my girls think everything comes in 2's.


This was made for someone very special to me.... 'scrapz' blog challenged you to make a valentine card with no red or pink, i came up with this, but its a birthday card.

This and the 2 photos below are of a card made for a swap, the lass chose as a theme 'animals' ... was worried when i sent it incase she want big impressive 'wild animals'..lions, tigers etc, but she seemed really pleased with this as she is a keen photograher of our countryside... i got something right for a change.



This atc i made with my son in mind... i'm always saying it to him... he rides a 1200cc bike ...scares me to death half the time.

This image is just about my favourite...ever... card was sent for birthday card swap on the joanna sheen forum. I love pressed flowers... strange for someone like me!!!
