Quickie Birthday

It's my brothers birthday tomorrow & I'm struggling for crafting time just now. I paid a quick visit to the shop for my Magnolia magazine & they'd just got these Nitwit decoupage in stock, as he has a westie I thought nice & easy so this is what I came up with, I wish I'd bought the set with the bones on, but as I don't usually do decoupage it was unnecessary expense, but I did get the cute little rabbit.
Just have to go deliver it now once the plummer has been.
Take care &I hope the sun is shining where you are, It's pouring down here.

PB Challenge On The Beach

This is my entry, I've managed to find a little time to make a quick card, basically snowed under with covering chairs & an abundance of courgettes which I'm cooking & freezing, so far made cakes, ratatouille & soup, any other suggestions gratefully received.
Also another PB (pipe band)competition, my son's band is playing at the worlds on Saturday & it's their first time in grade 2 so fingers crossed they at least qualify, & I have the tunes ringing in my ears, he's practicing every minute he has.

Sorry got sidetracked, the card recipe

PB Aloha coloured with promarkers
Flowers
Pearls
Mix of papers origin unknown
Anitas sentiment

Many thanks for any comments & for your visit

Recipe:

PB Happy little shopper
Basic Grey & MME DP
Snowflake brad
Small peel off sentiment ( I don't use these much but the words were appropriate)
Green card

I hope you had a nice July, we actually had a christmas on the 25th,with my nephew & his wife.
Usually we spend christmas with them, so we had a summer one outside in the sunshine.

I hope this is ok for the challenge

PBSC week 109 Sketch

My entry for this weeks challenge I have used promarkers for the first time on my PB I haven't had much success before, they always looked a bit freaky, maybe because this is a larger hedgie it's worked out not too bad, I have also used glossy accents, which is a bit hit or miss as I usually crack it or have bubbles, so better not look too close LOL.

Recipe
PB Bountiful
MME free papers
Prima flowers
Ribbon & gems from box.

Many thanks for taking the time to visit my blog & for any comments which are so much appreciated,
Take care
