I took them down to the Cricket club at 1pm....had a beer or 2 with a couple of friends .....and got home at 7.30pm!!! ...no crafting! lol, but a lovely afternoon!!

Vegetable Patch

Hello Everyone, 
Tom and Emma were outside playing yesterday with their friends when Tom decided to use his face as a break on the pavement! He came running into the house with blood pouring down his face and leg, initially I thought we would be having a trip to A and E! Once I cleaned him up, it wasn't that bad, just lots of grazes and bruises. Having said that he was sent home from school today with headache and feeling sick. I think he is OK now after a bit of rest.
I have a quick card to share today. I used an image from the Vintage Boys Sketch pad from Lili of the Valley.
I've coloured him with promarkers, and the background papers are also from Lili of the Valley - Father Knows Best. ( apart from the orange piece which is out of my bits box!)
I've also used a Die namics fish tail stax die, and a computer generated sentiment.
