Wish You Were Here
You really would love being here today as we have lots of sunshine even though it is still a bit chilly. My daughter and son-in-law arrive this afternoon until Tuesday so I may not be around very much until they go back home.
The challenge at the Craft Room this time is to make a 'Wish You Were Here' postcard. Postcards are never my forte for sure but I quite like this one. This is mainly because I got to search through lots of folder of photographs we had taken in model villages all over the place. I love model villages-maybe it because I am only 5 feet high and they make me feel taller lol.
I stencilled the background with a mixture of Distressed Stains. Then I added the photograph which was taken in Great Yarmouth model village. Then, a few bits and bobs to it and a post card back. It was great to be able to go outside to take the photograph and to show off my grand collection of forget-me-nots.
Have a good day all
Love Chrissie xx

ReplyDeleteI love everything about this blog post, Chrissie. I love your postcard, the flowers in the background and that you love model villages because you're only five foot. (I would tower an inch and a bit above you!) Great to start the day with a smile. Marina
