Distressed......Oh yes....totally!

Hello Everyone, 
I thought I'd have another go at 'distressing' today, and I am well and truly distressed!! I wanted to have a go with frantage.....so I tried...not so sure I got it right - it went all over the place! Then I thought I might as well have a go at the edges and used a distressing tool- gave up with the cheese grater, my poor fingers couldn't take anymore so I bought a Tim Holtz distressing tool! I need to lie down in a dark room!! I was going to stitch around the edges too, but the thought of getting out the old sewing machine just filled me dread so I used a cool grey 5 promarker and a ruler!!lol

The image is Plantpot Kitty from Di's Digi Stamps. I've coloured this little cutie with promarkers and flexmarkers. The background papers are from First Edition - Daydream.

I've used a Die Namics Plentiful Petals die, a Marianne Creatables Ivy die and a Memory Box Pipi Butterfly die. The sentiment tags are from Lili of the Valley and the ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

I went to see The Hobbit at the cinema a few evenings ago. A brilliant film but I came home with a migraine. I haven't spent much time on the computer or doing anything else for that matter, so I'll be catching up with you over the next few days.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today and for all your lovely comments. Have a lovely weekend.

Is anyone else having any problems with blogger?? When I'm trying to comment on some blogs, I can't use the scroll bar on the side of the comment box - it just won't move, which means that I can't reach the 'publish' button to leave you a comment! It's getting really frustrating!! I'm not sure if it's a blogger issue or a google chrome issue. I would be grateful of any suggestions?

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little blog and for all your lovely comments.
