Happy Valentines, Saturated Canary and Meeting Eila!

Hi everyone, Happy valentines to one and all, here is my gift of love! Bought a plain box and used a layer of Gesso, then inked with Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick and shaded with Copic Ciao markers RV10, RV34 to add some dimension. The gorgeous image was a free download from the gorgeous Saturated Canary Etsy store, more colouring with Copics and then adorned with flowers and treasures from my stash, filled with chocs and Love heart sweets of course and gave to a special friend, hope you like it!


As I have already mentioned the gorgeous image is from Saturated Canary check out her blog and some new images added this week, have already purchased mine!

Finally, had a fantastic day on Saturday met up with the one and only Eila at Dollopsofscraps who is even more divine in real life. Spent the afternoon on the London EYE with Champagne reception which Eila kindly organised and this was followed by afternoon tea at the County Hall hotel, we had a stunning view across the Thames, perfect! Had a fantastic time and as if that wasn't enough Eila presented me with a gorgeous collection of Maja Design papers, thanks again Eila for a wonderful day and a little gift will be on it's way to you soon, hugs. Here are some pics of the day, enjoy! x

  12. Bugger and bummer! our 'puter decided to crash on me last week and hubbs has spent the better part of several days recovering what I thought was irrevocably lost! Thank heavens for this annoyingly scrupulous IT guy of mine insisting on daily back-ups! Gosh, had half of my mailbox just disappearing on me brrrr! Looking at the photos brings me back to our absolutely divine day, so wish we could have had more time and perhaps even more friends joining up. That would have been totally awesome! Can totally relate to what Anita says; it's fantastic actually meeting you IRL, remember I had to pinch you to make sure it wasn't a dream! Love you too darling!
    Ooooh your box is absolutly yummie! looks like it has been covered in a spread of strawberry icing. The colours are just divine and the cluster an absolute treasure! Hope you've had a good week sweetie, mine has been a nightmare but I'm looking forward to a quieter next week. Thanks to Sudafed I've been able to go to work too but this weekend is all about sleeping. Hugs and kisses, your pal Eila
