Truly Scrumptious challenge AND Roses on Paper challenge!!


Grr, the colour never comes out right when I try to photograph my cards. I guess it’s because I’m so impatient and should wait for daylight but no, I sit here at night trying to get a half decent photo in the dark!!!

Oh well, you get the idea anyway!! This is taken from the sketch at Truly Scrumptious, a fabby new challenge blog – and you know me – I loves me challenges!!! It’s their first week so hop on over and have a go – it’s a lovely sketch. This is a downloaded image from The Greeting Farm called Dorothy Anya. The Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favourite films and as a youngster I so yearned for a pair of ruby slippers as sparkly as Dorothy’s. Even now when I watch the movie the highlight for me is when the ruby slippers first get put on Dorothy’s feet and she stands there moving them so they sparkle with all their might!! Sigh! I even made a pair once out of some old slippers and a load of red sequins (we threw a fancy dress party for my 30th and I was Dorothy). I have since given them to a little boy who loves those ruby slippers even more than me so I feel they have a good home!! I know I have messed with the colours a little but I have given her sparkly shoes – they’re more what you might call garnet slippers now – a bit pinkier than rubies!!

I am also submitting this over at the Roses on Paper blog where the theme this week is Love and Friendship.

Hey, I MIGHT get to bed before midnight tonight.
