Ticket to Ride

Lots of things sprang to mind when I saw this challenge at Dragons Dream TIO this week. The Beatles always seemed to introduce some humour into their songs and I thought this stamp of the little Christmas Engine might go well on a tag. I got the stamp in a bag of stamps from a carboot sale and never thought I would ever be able to use it--just shows you shouldn't throw anything away. The train at Ryde in the I.O.W goes almost into the sea on the pier so used that 'Ryde' instead of just the word 'ride'


I would also like to enter this for the challenge at Fashionable Stamping Challenges where you can enter anything but a card

    Chrissie, what a fab idea - Love the "Ryde" - just perfect, and as you say meets the humour in their lyrics. Thanks for dreaming with us at TIO this week.

    Hi Chrissie, what a wonderful idea! I love the humour of having a ticket to Ryde, very clever...and just goes to show that you never can tell when a stamp might come in handy. Thankyou for joining us at Fashionable Stamping Challenges this fortnight. Good luck.

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
