These Boots Are Made For Working

Yay! Phindy's digi and TLC sentiment, what else could a girl ask for? Hmm... set of Prismacolors, some gems, couple of plasters, buttons, twine...
Nothing is ever enough? :o What are we like :D

Paper piecing thingy:
Esa's teeshirt and his jeans are paper piecing, as well as his arms and tummy. Face is my own. Or Prismacolors rather.

The difficult part is this: I have N E V E R managed to do the hop blog, or blog hop. Once I thought about it, but then it was sooooo overhjelming task LOL. Yes, I will try now, this week or in the near future...

This card is from real life! My dad was wallpapering or nailing skirting boards or summat like that. My son saw granddad with a hammer and guess what happened when my dad went for a cuppa... Yes! My son took the hammer, and started hammering brand new wallpapers, because he just wanted to help. Awwwwww... :)  (You sure understand now, why I love this digi!)

Backing paper is fresh and created and printed today. I wanted to have tools and then I desinged one. Hmpf, not tool, but BP.

Thank you for reading and sharing my family secrets with me :D

  4. Cute story, and I can see things like that happening with our grandson, because he LOVES his papa, and he copies things he sees him do, too. Lovely card, and great background paper. Do you ever have problems with the colors not being what you really want? You did a great job with the paper piecing, too. Hugs, dj

  5. dj, do you mean bp or the colorine of image? I'm such a newbie in coloring, often messing up. Top of that, due no proper camera, pics are really poor quality atm :( For example this card is too BRIGHT and in real life it is very different.

    Computerized designing is fun and my own designs I won't give up before colours are what I was looking for. Of course screen options and brightness are effecting.

    The most important is to enjoy this and I definitely am :)
    Hugs from sunny Yorkshire :)
