On Our Travels with Darcy's Postcard Challenge- Cuba

This week we are in Cuba. I have never been there but it is on my list, want to dance Salsa there. The music from Buena Vista Social Club is popular in our house. On looking at photos from Cuba while researching it seemed that advertising by painting on walls was popular so that is my theme. My music man is a stamp from Urban Snap Shots and he is stamped in black Stazon onto glossy card that was stamped prior to that with music from Happen Stamps which was embossed with clear embossing powder. I used a brick stamp from Hobby Art to create my background wall. The distressing is with DI Pumice Stone, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain.
I created my book page in Serif's Craft Artist using a background paper from Vintaj and images from cigar adverts I found on the internet. On the pocket is the crest of Cuba.
Thank you all for your kind comments. I am so enjoying looking at all your cards and reading your stories. You are all so talented.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge # 193 - Dog Appreciation Day

This beautiful dog belongs to a dear friend and I could not resist doing a scrapbook page of him. I worked in craft Artist and used papers and elements from a kit by Digilicious Designs called "Rocky". The kit is all about cats really but this blue just suited the lovely chocolate colour of the dog I thought. Do join us this week and let us see your dog projects.

On Our Travels With Darcy's Post Card Challenge - Wales

As I am from a mining town, a Cumbrian not a Welsh one, I had to include the black hills that once marked the landscape of such towns.  I have been a Rugby fan all my life so what else but a Rugby player, all be it a young one, in his Welsh shirt.To finish off my card I could not believe it when I found this stamp in my collection from many many years ago. My book page was created in Craft Artist.

Thank you so much all of you who have come along and looked at my postcards and been kind enough to leave a comment.

Dragon's Dream TIO #109 _ The Time Traveler's Wife

I based my tag on the story line from the book which has the Timetraveler moving in and out of his wife's life from childhood to old age. She has ignored his note advising her not to wait for him.
I first painted the tag with white acrylic paint then added the bride using packing tape to transfer the image. The stamps I used are from TJ Designs "Vintage Collage"  and from Avec. The clock is a rub on and the calender tape from Tim Holtz.
Thank you for stopping by, all your comments are much appreciated.
