Mr Wooly, Just for Men.

First things first, this week's challenge over at Sassy Cheryl's is "add dimension" by our lovely Tracy, I decided to decopage this Christmas lamb and go with a monochrome (ish) palette, nice and simple, no bows and no flowers, a perfect man card. Provided you have an excellent image, leave it (or Cheryl :-) to do the talking!


I used different grey range copics to colour, cut it and layered them, sentiment stamp is from personal impressions. A final touch was the wooly coat, made with white flower soft. He looks cozy there!



So secondly, I am finally back from London at last. My 5 day business trip ended up turning into 10 days of chaos. But ... did I nail it at the end? Oh ... Yeah! ... look what I treated myself to at the weekend and you'll know how things turned out!


No more lucky suit and early morning makeup! I'm back to my snuggly buggly home life wrapped in a house coat - and how much do I miss that! You want to hear the guys reactions when they asked me what I do when I'm not working. Cardmaking I said ... and what a good laugh that got. They just couldn't believe it! They still think I'm joking. Each to thier own I guess :-) As long as I'm happy they can stick to thier golf. Wait till they get my "thank you" note :-)

Lastly, I did not forget ... I have a surprise prepared for you. It's taking a bit of time but will get there. Right now I just need to chill out for a bit and be lazy for a little while.
