Turns out that one of the roof tiles had moved and all our 'summer weather' had been coming through, soaking the extra thick insulation that we put in a year or two ago, until the ceiling just popped! So fingers crossed that our insurance company will cough up ... their builder was supposed to ring us this afternoon, but of course its now gone 9pm and we're still waiting. Grrr, makes me mad why {most} tradesmen think the normal laws of customer service don't actually apply to them!
So after that excitement I didn't feel much like getting the paintbrushes out, and had a wee crafty half hour instead ... don't know why but I ended up making a New Home card! Though I'm not sure how watertight the roof is on the tall skinny house if there's flowers growing out the top Hahaha!
This is one of High Hopes older stamps - coloured with a mixture of promarkers and copics and some stickles added to the pink bits. DP is also oldie stuff from Papermania.

So sorry about your roof. I hope the workmen get their to fix it soon rather than later. What a pain. I think you chose a New Home card because of what just happened but its a very beautiful card. Gorgeous image, beautifully coloured in and gorgeous backing papers. I hope it made you feel a little better. Thank you for sharing with us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Michelle SSW DT x

Oh my gosh, Lynne...this is not good. I know what you mean about getting someone to get the work done and quickly. Usually doesn't happen. Good luck.
I love your card..gosh, that must be the guard cat...he's BIG. About that flower growing out the chimney, that could be a new trend in home building. :-)
