A Sunny Morning to You!!

Have woken up a bright sunny morning but very chilly indeed. The view from my back window is glorious with the hills covered in snow. Nature is a wonderful thing. Sometimes the neighbours must think I'm a Peeping Tom - as I can stand & stare at the hills for ages, mesmerised by them.............
Anyway, I've popped 2 cards on that I had made last night for the Kaboodle and Spoon full of Sugar challenges. The 1st one is for Kaboodle, the theme was 'Vintage'.
I really quite enjoyed doing this one as it took me out of my comfort zone. I did alot of inking round the edges to try and give an old distressed look, and stamping over my picture was very daunting indeed 'coz that's when I usually muck-up..lol.
The theme for Spoon full of Sugar is 'Torn' and I kept singing that song all the time I was making it. Can't guarantee it was the right words I was singing...lol but the tune anyway.

Sugar Nellie's 'Dressing-up Maggie' is one of my favourite stamps and I had a shot of Lesley's promakers to colour her in. Her necklace I went over with silver stickles. The backing paper and flowers are from stash.
