About Me

My photo
My name's Alison but for reasons too long to go into I'm known as Cockney Blonde or CB for short. I've been rubber stamping for several years but now spend most of my time either knitting or crocheting. However, with the advent of a New Year I have bitten the bullet and am tackling my usually hated pastime of sewing. I've even bought 'Sewing for Dummies' to guide me on my way. I've been with my hubby Dave for 24 years and between us we have 4 kids and 5 grandkids. We also have 2 cats and a dog, the latter features as my 'photo' image. I used to be able to blog daily but these days I struggle to blog weekly. Hopefully now we are settled into our new home in the country, I can get back to a daily (well almost) update from the room I now have to share with hubby. No more personal crafting space for me!!! Thanks to all the blogs and sites I follow for all your brilliant inspiration, and thank you to everyone who finds the time to comment on my blog.

A Partridge in a Pear Tree

Evening Peeps, hope you're all enjoying your weekend and looking forward to the extra day on Monday (if it applies). We went for a lovely walk this afternoon in some local woods with our dogs. Really enjoyed it and its a long time since all 3 of us were together to do that.

When I saw the challenge by Winter Wonderland to trim a tree I knew I had the ideal Elizabeth Bell image which I had coloured with copics last week in our caravan. I used the following:-
E00, 21, 93 - skin
E31, 33, 35, 37 - hair
G07, YG00, 03, Y21, 26, 28, B02, 05, R02, 22, 24, 27

The DP is by Basic Grey 'Jovial'.

I've rotated the Christmas Challenge sketch to fit the image and added brads and gems from my stash.

Hope you like it and I'm entering it into the following challenges:-
