Pail of Pud !!

The summery colours in ScrapaGoGo's June kit, Sketch me a Story, had me reaching for some holiday photos from a trip to Florida in 2010. I remember this one being taken & that huge dessert was called A Pail of Pud on the water park menu!!

 The blue frame was made smaller to centralise the bulk of my Lo. The sun was cut using the simple technique of drawing lines through a point...

 Alternate segments were removed to create the ray effect, then topped with a circle from the same paper on a foam pad for depth.

 The lo was finished with a title using the Thickers, a hybrid subtitle & the cute little camera charm.

many thanks for looking xxx

The Torch comes to Coventry...

The Olympic Torch has been working its way around the Midlands for the last few days & this afternoon it arrived in Coventry where it will stay overnight before leaving from our Cathedral tomorrow at 7am.

This morning we were very lucky to see the torch at our local Mini Dealership & get our photo taken holding it.

 Getting ready on the road side for the Relay.

Ready to make some noise.

  The Torch.

 It was a really lovely family atmosphere as we all waited for the relay to go past, the good weather certainly helped plus it was well organised. I would certainly recommend it if it's not been past you yet x
