Catkins - Another little fairy!

Hello Everyone, 
Thank you for all your kind comments about Tom. He was sent home from school on Monday feeling sick and he had a headache. By Tuesday one side of his face had turned bright red like it had been burnt. It turns out he has mild concussion and the graze on his head has become infected. He's on antibiotics and had a week off school. We're back to the doctors in the morning, all because he tripped over and scrapped his head!

Anyway enough of my ramblings, I've a quick card to share today and it's another of those gorgeous little fairy's from Lili of the Valley, this one is called 'Catkins'.

I've coloured her with promarkers and added lots of glitter to her fairy wings. The background papers are from Lili of the Valley - Always and Forever.

I've used a MB pipi butterfly die and the flowers and hessian are from The Ribbon Girl.

Vegetable Patch

Hello Everyone, 
Tom and Emma were outside playing yesterday with their friends when Tom decided to use his face as a break on the pavement! He came running into the house with blood pouring down his face and leg, initially I thought we would be having a trip to A and E! Once I cleaned him up, it wasn't that bad, just lots of grazes and bruises. Having said that he was sent home from school today with headache and feeling sick. I think he is OK now after a bit of rest.
I have a quick card to share today. I used an image from the Vintage Boys Sketch pad from Lili of the Valley.

I've coloured him with promarkers, and the background papers are also from Lili of the Valley - Father Knows Best. ( apart from the orange piece which is out of my bits box!)

I've also used a Die namics fish tail stax die, and a computer generated sentiment.
