Steampunk Sally.

Not my usual make today, not a Cutesy image, floral paper or flower in sight!

I found it quite difficult deciding on how to approach it at first but one I found the hand image it all came together nicely I think!

I trawled the internet this morning for free papers and images suitable for the theme and found absolutely loads at MussolRosa Designs and The Graphics Fairy but I was amazed at how much stuff I had stashed away that were usable too.

Oh Pretty Baby!

I think this stamp has to be my all time favourite from Magnolia. It reminds me so much of my eldest Daughter when she was tiny, she alway's slept with her bottom in the air and I would have sworn she had angel wing too until she made it to 7 yrs old!
