Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 13 Turkey

This week our normally cheery hero seems to have lost some of his optimism and enthusiasm following another misunderstanding  and as a direct result of him listening at keyholes to private conversations.  When will he ever learn?

He writes to his half-brother Malcolm,
Hi Malcolm,
Xui said I would be much better off with an iPad and I thought GREAT
we can keep in touch over the internet.
Wrong.  This is his version of an iPad and I'm still getting
the eyedrops 4 times a day.
Oh, yes and we are in Turkey.

Here is the page I made for his travel book.

The images are of the temple at Amman, a Turkish carpet, Turkish Delight, Tommy Cooper who wore a fez (and was also a friend of my grandfather's, who was also a magician).  I edged the page with a lovely piece of paisley ribbon.  The postcard is stamped, masked and brayered.  Stamps are by StampsAway and Create and Craft.
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments.  I have so much fun doing this challenge and I love to visit all your entries and keep up with the stories.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge #121 - Gothic Christmas

Had a great deal of fun making this 4 x 4 page. The arch stamp is by Create and Craft (they were selling it off cheaply at Ally Pally last Saturday), the trees and Santa's sleigh are by Crafty Individuals.

The trees and the sleigh are stamped with Eggplant by Stampin' Up and the arches are coloured with Brilliance Victorian Violet. The background colour is Pearlescent Purple by Brilliance.

I hope you like my take on this week's challenge. Please feel free to leave a comment - all are very much appreciated.

I have been away from home quite a bit recently and I apologise to my regular blogging friends because I haven't been able to visit their blogs as I would normally do. I hope to visit all your blogs soon.

DragonsDream Tag It On #43 - Scene in the Garden

I dedicate this tag to Frankie and Fred and wish them every happiness in their life together.

The bench scene and rose arbour is a stamp from Create and Craft. It is stamped onto glossy card and waterbrushed with various Distress Inks. I then made an outer arbour of ivy and trailing vines. The acetate wrought iron gate and creeper are from a Joanna Sheen CD.

The two white doves represent the happy couple.
I hope you like my tag and know that this fantasy garden isn't a patch on Frankie and Fred's own garden.

Thanks for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment - all are appreciated.
