Young at Heart...earplugs please!

Good morning this fine Sunday!  I say that because it's not supposed to snow today...not until tomorrow.  Hah!  I'm also hoping that I've finally gotten over the nasty bug that I've had this week.  I believe everyone has had enough of this winter... not just me!


The neighbourhood is really rockin' now that Sydney's picked up his strings again.  Everyone said he had to find a hobby upon retirement, so he's starting back in where he left off as a teen.  After all, if Mick can still do it....why can't he?  He's now just waiting to be discovered!

I definitely have a recipient in mind for this one, there's even a slight resemblance.  This fantastic image is another from Just Inklined, titled Strumming Sydney.  Once again I've used my copics, adding chalks and DI for the background.

The DP is from MME, and I've added a bit of stenciled stitching for a border.  The little puppy is a sticker from back in my scrap-booking days, and the sentiment is from Mark's Finest Papers - North American Woods collection.  Party Time is a die cut made with the Whimsy - Birthday Sentimentables, which I have heat embossed using ZING embossing powder.

We must be careful when we suggest a hobby to someone.  Crafting may take over the house, but it's generally a nice quiet hobby, no?  Take care and have a great day.
