Herbert Hare

Morning and we have a new ATG/Watercolouring challenge at 613 Avenue Create we are also looking for a couple of new DT members -only one project a month and as we don't use sponsors you can do your own thing.
Our watercolour option was suggested by Natalie.
I used the fabulous stamp Herbert Hare from Stampotique and coloured with watercolours.The die-cuts are from Gummiapan and added card candy.

Soccer Boy

Morning and we have a new Happy Birthday challenge at CCC Digi Creations sponsored by Craftin Desert Divas and I used the sponsor image "Soccer Boy" you also get a pre-coloured image too.I used the black and white image coloured with promarkers,enlarged the football and printed three times then fussy cut them all out put them onto 3-D foam pads,the grass strip was recycled packaging saved by my grandaughters(got them well trained lol)stamped sentiment was craft mag freebie and the die-cut rosette was amongst some football die-cuts kindly gifted from Michelle.This will probably go to my football mad grandson on his 3rd birthday later this year.

Thank you the cataract op went well but when he went in the woman next to me started complaing about how long she was waiting last time as a man with dementia had to be calmed down before his op and they shouldn't have brought him!!!-the waiting room was full so I just sort of grimaced and went back to my mag--but looking back sooo wish I had said something-because as a couple of you know John was diagnosed with early Alzhiemers and vascular dementia nearly two years ago -although he is still compliant with the all medical treatment/scans and such he has had it could be him in the future and does that mean he should be denied treatment???

P.E Anyone

UPDATE ON GIVEAWAY -grandaughters picking names out of jar when they come tomorrow.
Morning Happy New Year to you all and as it's the 1st January I have three DT posts today and the last one is for Stinkin Inkers "It's New To Me" challenge. I interpreted this as new stamps and dies but could be New Baby/house/job---The woodgrain paper was from The Works/all stamps+stamped sentiment were craft mag freebies-I heat embossed stamps on background then paper pieced the stamped gym bag-mounted onto a shape which was a die-cut waste.
The trainers(coloured with promarkers)/football boots and football ball were dies sent as a swap from Michelle-thank you Michelle they are brilliant.
My SIL ordered this card for her grandson who is a P.E. teacher and former footballer until injury stopped his career!!!
