Steampunk Birthday

Good morning I hope you had a lovely weekend and those in the UK are enjoying our long weekend!  I have been MIA because I treated my son and gorgeous grandsons to a weekend away at Alton Towers.  For those of you not in the UK this is a theme park.  We stayed in a themed room at one of the hotels in the park.  Very exhausting but fun I have some pictures at the end of the post.

Today sees a new challenge at Lexi's Creations and the theme for this challenge is Happy Birthday. I decided to do a sort of girly steampunk card:


This is an image that I was lucky enough to win a while back from Stitchy Bear's Outlet - thank you. I had great fun colouring her with my Copics.  The papers are Nitwits Ladies and Gentlemen.  Sentiment is a Waltzingmouse and had been cut using their tag die.  The clock is a die I picked up from the NEC and ribbon from my stash.


If you head over to Lexi's Creations to see what the rest of the DT have done and for more details of the challenge.

Challenges I would like to enter:



Here are some pictures of our weekend:

Harrison in his bunk


Getting very wet!


Rafe tending to his garden


In their Postman Pat delivery van!

Thanks so much for looking today I will be round to catch up! Take care xx
