DOODLE HERE AND THERE!

 Good Afternoon! Had a run out this morning to a Craft shop that used to have lots of workshops. I've bought enough double sided to tape to last for 12 months along with other bits and bobs.  Sad to say it's closing down in March, such a shame. A couple of years ago it went mostly onto selling material/wools, with paper and craft being only a quarter of what it used to stock.  Sadly the girls that have been there years will just be made redundant. It is keeping a couple of shops, but, will not be worth my while traveing too.


This guy is Cling Bearly Working! Stamped and coloured with Copics.
Doodle here and there and sentiment from Creative expressions.

What a fun image Chrissy and fabulous colouring and I love a good doodling around the edge, fabulous card, and what a shame about your craft shop, same here, everything is gone, I cannot get card stock like i used to anymore and cannot afford to buy overseas as the postage is crazy.Thank goodness for markers as I can colour around the edge and it looks like card stock..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Haha, that was me at work before I was done!!
Great image, and as always your coloring is exceptional!!
Sad about 'craft' stores isn't it.
I guess more and more people are shopping online.

Aww, that poor bear is worn out! He's had a long day in the office and needs to get home and chill out! Fabulous stamp- beautiful colouring, love the doodling! Brilliant car Chrissy.
Such a shame about the craft shops closing, they're few and far between now. I can't remember the last time I had a good browse in one. I know there are good online shops but you can't beat a 'real' one!

I love the Gruffies, sadly they stopped making them, glad I have them. Your Colorwork, Chrissy is awesome and the doodling is perfect for your card. Thanks for sharing your card with us at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.

Sad yet another craft store is closing, same happened with the closest to us, the Craft Warehouse, admittedly it was an hour away but always a worthwhile trip.

A delightful image and you have coloured it beautifully, thanks so much for sharing with us at We Love Stamping February challenge.

Another of your gorgeous cards Chrissy, the colouring is spot on too.
Its sad to hear of another shop closing down, I know it must be hard for them now with overheads being as they are and more shopping online, but I do miss a good rummage, like the papermill shop in Fleetwood, the bargains we got there are still unmatched.xx

So glad you joined our Doodle It challenge at House Mouse & Friends with your fabulous card. I'd be worn out too if I had that much homework. CarolG

Super cute card Chrissy :-) I love Gruffie and this one is particularly adorable :-) your colouring is fabulous and I love the simple 'sending' sentiment, hahaha, very clever! :-)

What a shame your craft shop is closing :-| they are few and far between now, I don't have one at all here so I have to buy everything online.

Thanks for joining us on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge
