Little Girls - Swing Time

Hope you all have had a good weekend, sorry I haven't been around much, I'm having a new bathroom put in and its surprising how disruptive it has been. It poured with rain most of yesterday and I wanted to craft and most of the things that were in the bathroom have been put in front of the things I wanted to craft with. Still I managed it in the end. The bathrooms almost finished so things can get back to normal. I have used my new embossing folder (I love this, think I shall be using it lots) and a lotv stamp, its one of the first that I bought and I haven't used it for ages. It reminds my of when my sisters and I were little, trying to take the dog on the swing, trouble was the seat wasn't that wide!!!



Ingredients:

image - lotv 'little girls - swing time'
embossing folder - couture creations 'tied together'
papers - first edition 'sweet owl',  bazzil card/silver mirri
ribbon - from stash
pearls (part of blog candy won from Teresa, thanks Teresa)
sentiment - craftwork cards
coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers

  3. Hi Kim
    This is lovely. I adore this stamp image too, so reminiscent as you say; I can just see her daydreaming as she swings gently with her little puppydog. Awww!
