kbrandy4's creations

Sorry that i wasn't around for the last couple of days but the painkillers are making me very sleepy through the day and i can't sleep at night! I went to see the Physiotherapist yesterday and he wants to see me again on the 22nd and if there is no improvement he will refer me back to the hospital as there may be something wrong with my cartlidge.

Well all of that didn't stop me enjoying some sunshine and altering an old dining chair which hubby was going to chop up, the shame! lol! I never throw anything away!

Tilda's Best Day Ever

Wow! The weather is glorious, quite fitting for the card i have made too!

I used my Magnolia stamp 'Tilda at Key Largo' ( More like Cornwall) lol!

The beach scene was created using a freebie from a mag, it's Crafters Companion (Jane Nestorenko).

I've used quite a few dies from different companies, La La Land Heart Banner, Joy Crafts Flip Flops,

Die-namics Lattice Fence.

DPs are Prima and a freebie. The sentiment flag is Prima also.

I used Aged Ivory Fran-tage on the sand and Shabby White Fran-tage on the water.
