Stampartic July Sketch

This is my take on the July sketch of at stampartic you could only use

Brown and Blue in colours, The stamp is from Hampton Art-Jill meyer -Diffusion 4521 passport -Bazzill cardstock- prima flowers spraued with robins nest blue glimmer mist-copic markers - chestnut roan ink ,ribbon and gemstones from my stash [not sure of make]

I have never thought of using brown and Blue together and not sure if I will again lol!! anyway it was fun to work from a sketch..........

Happy 4th July

Here`s to all my friends over the big pond,hope you all have
a wonderful 4th of July with friends and family or whatever
plans are to be

Well I have been sat creating afew things,but funny how once you
start one thing your mind wanders and so many ideas come ,honest
I have 4 things on the go at the moment and one item is for 2010 yeh you heard right lol!!!............

simplyrose has not blogged for awhile!

Oh I really did not realize how long it is from when I last blogged,now that is just terrible on my behalf,I just do not know were the time has gone,well I do some of it DS has taken lots of time up lately.
The card I did above is from a Whiff of Joy Stamp and coloured with copic markers,must say I love the brush end but not the bullet end of these marker tips

This was just one of those pictures I took last week in the hot weather and DS blowing bubbles and I just love this carefree look on his face,even though his arm is in pot still,bright red he picked. For those who do not know my DS fell at school and broke & fractured his elbow,this was so much fun [not]because his party was coming up within 2 weeks and mum had arranged a football party, anyway it did not deter him and it all went ahead as planned . We are back at the the hospital next week and fingers crossed it has mended,cannot be no fun for my little guy with this on in this heat....

This was some party boxes I made for the kids to take home with them full of

candy thought it was good to make cake shape and added football figures to the top with the exception of 3 and then I used prima flowers[yeah I hear yeah well 3 girls came ] so felt it was a bit more prettier for the girls . One of the kiddos made me laugh they said has TJ got 2 cakes!!

My niece came and with her just havin her 13th birthdayand everything is boring and life is boring to em at this age,well you could have fooled me!! sent her on pitch and her friend with the 5-6 year olds and did she have loads of fun!!!?............... she loved it

Well folks that is it for today ,and have plenty more to post when I get going

.......

krafty

oh so I have been missing AWOL, well funny how time flies, My DS had a tooth take out at the dentist and then spent the night throwing up so i thought it must have been the stuff they used for pain relief anyway he got worse then day after I started the same,turns out it was gastric virus we had got and boy did it knock the wind outta my sails,took us both over a week to even feel like eating anything...... Well its back to school runs and school study at home. I started decorating the bedroom weeks ago and with been ill had no energy to even stay on the ladder long I have got bits to do but waiting on some wood been carved out then I can finish the cupboard,but whilst waiting thought I would set my new area up,boy I just did not realizejust how much stuff I have got and really need a massive purge and use stuff up I have got!!!....but well I know me so well I need new stuff,gotten a whole lot of new glimmer mist to,little did I know how one bottle has grown to 18 now ,love the stuff.

Do not know why but I find it more theraputic working upstairs than downstairs with crafting .But it does have a down side last night could not sleep when I got upstairs so ended up crafting,nothing major just sat making some hatpins,and then retired to bed...........

This is my take on the sketch,you know me always the rebel ,I just had to turn it
it fitted what I had in mind,the image is a real cutie from Heartwarming vintage Girlfriends journal booklet,love this pad, ink was chestnut roan,bazzil cardstock and a piece of journal paper from mm spiral paperie mocha and my trusty Beacon Adhesive, prima Hydrangea`s,pin wheel and brad

Oh I can now reveal my DST Secret, I`m happy to say I will be happily designing for Miss Hippy Chick ,now sarah`s sketches are just wonderful

and there is a scrapbook and card DST, I have a card team place and so looking

forward to getting to know the other girls

Well yesterday was a beautiful spring Day my hopes built only to be dashed by the cold windy day today and back to coat zipped up to throat again,oh knew it

was to good to be true,but oh blow the weather, I have had lots of packages coming through the post,I needed some retail therapy

My big dark and handsome piece arrived today oh yes its my new paper rack very heavy and took some moving,but oh another 30 shelves to fill with paper,my 7 G revolving stand arrived for my ATC`s, my bits and pieces from the atc store arrived ,love this gal ,she is so fast with shipping. Now I will have to wait on other papers arriving like my new G45 papers and my stuff from the scrappy gourmet. Oh still waiting on my New prima stuff to arrive ,oh say it in pearls and other pieces

Well going to have a look on-line,but look only I have spent alot of $ and alot of £ so must be well behaved today [yeah right she says]
