Lucy's Blog & The Bed Burglar

I love Lucy Abrams blog.  Her cards are gorgeous and her photos and presentation are always so perfect.  I aspire to match her photography skills!  :)  Lucy's been running sketch challenges this week and so far I've only managed to make a card for her first sketch but the other sketches are sitting on my desk waiting for their moment in the sun.  

Supplies: Card Blank: Cardblanks.com; Paper: Paperbilities kraft, watercolour paper; Stamp: Autumn Leaves swirl; Ink: ColorBox Violet; Other: Glossy Accents, watercolour paint, computer generated sentiment
I hand stitched the edges as I don't have a sewing machine.  Took a little time but I like how it came out so it was worth it.  For the hearts I painted a pink wash on watercolour paper, stamped the swirls in violet and then cut out the hearts and covered them in Glossy Accents.


I also wanted to show you my cheeky youngest "child".  Jem is about a year old and is a complete imp.  Every morning Luis and I make our bed.  After Jem has his breakfast he sneaks into our bedroom and pulls the covers down to make a little nest for himself!  I guess we should just quit making the bed and make his life easier!  LOL!
