BESIDE THE SEA

I seem to have had a week of doing very little crafting , this was partly due to feeling unwell for a few days and the fact that we went to Devon for the weekend. So this post will be mainly photos.


When we arrived in Devon on Friday evening there was a wing walking display. I have a dislike of flying and I am not that keen on deep water so I am not sure I would have wanted to be either of the two women strapped to the wings.

This  was all part of the Lifeboat fundraising week and on Saturday many stalls set up trying to raise funds for this valuable service.

Everyone was encouraged to go the EXTRA MILE and walk along the breakwater and back (1 MILE ) and get a certificate.

This was the finals of the raft racing,  heats had been taken place all week.










There was a British Warship moored in the Bay for 3 days and there were tours for those who were lucky enough to get tickets. And although I have no interest in sailing I would loved to have been on this tour bus :)


I took this photo from our window mainly for the cloud formation


This is our new boat with the previous owner showing my Husband Son ,and his partner the ropes. I say our boat actually I am never likely to go on board as I have already said I am not keen on sailing.
I will just stick to my SIZZIX, talking of which I had some more new dies arrive and as I love to recycle I cut these shapes from my favourite tin cans.


I cut these from old loyalty cards and I am going to make a pair of earrings.

HARD ON THE OUTSIDE SOFT ON THE INSIDE

 

Take one Tim Holtz Cabinet card die and a Tim Holtz artful Dwellings die and    Go Create.

Not my usual style but it was done in one hour and very late last night.

This is the paper I used for the Sun Prints on my earlier blogs .I have had it for several years and I am not sure if it is still available.

MAINLY PHOTOS

 

It has been  a wet weekend so plenty of time to create.

This was created using  TIM HOLTZ cabinet card die and KANBAN stamps .

I  used one of my original vintage photos for the centre ,and a copy of the young girl under a glass slide on the left. The background paper is from a 110 year book of quotations.Distress inks were used to age.

I know a little boy with the wonderful name of OCEAN  who is 3 and very very shy. I have tried so many times to talk to him (WHEN HE IS WITH HIS MUM ) but no joy. So you can imagine how delighted I was when I met them the other day and he had drawn me a picture.

I think that is me bottom right with my Black Labrador Wilson.

How wonderful .
