I'm back

with another card. Forgot this one that I did up for the latest sketch over at Card patterns.
lol

Best wishes.


and a close up of my butterfly. I stamped it up on some of the Pink Paislee paper and gave it a touch of my BG93 Copic marker.


I used a buttefly from the Purple Onion Vintage butterfly set along with a greeting from the Hopscotch sentiments set.

A big share

Hoping you all have had a nice week and weekend.

Mine out here didn't start out too well. Felt very average at work on Monday and woke up on Tuesday with a sore throat and no voice. No work for me for the rest of the week it turned out that I had a viral infection. So I pretty much spent two days (Tues and Wed) sleeping and trying to fight it off. It worked as by Friday I was 100% better but with a croaky voice. lol the girls at the Just scrapbooking crop all laughed over my voice.

I managed to do a layout and a card while at the crop.

Park Princess.


I was given some scrummy Girls papeiry (spelling?) papers this month by both Just scrapbooking and Lime tarts and did up this layout for Just scrapbooking. The girl in the photo is Georgia, the daughter of my fellow "Let's get shabby" member Ruth. I seen it posted on her blog and asked if she would let me scrap it for her.

Here is another layout from my Just scrapbooking dt kit using some Purple Onion stamps.

Crazy hat girl.


I have used the Vintage journal label, a spotty heart from the Doodled hearts set and the word love from the Love you to stitches set on the same page.

While I had my Purple onion stamps out I did up this card.

Thank you.

I used the Thank you note block stamp, Large deluxe label stamp and the medium butterfly from the Vintage butterfly set.

Here is a close up of my Copic coloured butterfly.


I have used
Y00, G00 and E71 here.

I am enjoying my Copics but still have a lot to learn. My shading/blending is really hit and miss lately but hopefully I'll get a few tips when I go to the Copic course on Saturday.

Here are my Lime Tart projects. I got to work with a special Limited edition kit this month.

Reluctant Cuddles.

More fun with my copics here on one of my favorite Stampavie stamps. I have done this one up for the current Stampavie challenge.

When Philippa sent me my kit she also popped in a few stamped images of a Sweet pea fairy. One of the newer ranges of stamps she has in store. I must admit I wasn't too fussed on them when they came in but I think I may just get a little hooked after colouring one in.

For you.

Here is sneak of my favorite project.

My weekend.

Started with me and everyone down at the rec center on Saturday morning needing ear plugs when Missy decided to throw a major hissy fit.
All over not winning a toy in one of those game machine thingys. Lasted for about 30 mins.
I calmly sat and ate the hot chips we had ordered and had my coffee while she was yelling at the top of her voice telling everyone what a bad mum I was by not letting her have another turn at the game and saying she wanted another family. When I finished we left to go to the newagent and get lotto. Still screaming in the car so I turned up the radio, she screamed louder so up went the radio. At the newsagent she decided that she wanted to buy a stuffed toy and wasn't going to leave with out it. We left without the toy and the car screaming/radio session continued. Luckily for me we only had a five minute drive. Still screaming when we got home so it was a trip to the bathroom and she got a fully clothed cold shower. Screaming stopped. Once she had sorted her self out she was evicted to her room for a while where she feel asleep.

The rest of my weekend was pretty uneventful after that.
Fish and chips for dinner on Saturday. I taught a heritage class in the afternoon

over at Just scrapbooking and we went out for tea last night.

I didn't do all that much that I can share right now over my weekend scrappy wise but here is what I can.

August Heritage class.


Now to start thinking of what to do for September. lol

Well that is all from me for now. I'm of to work shortly. As always thanks for popping in, any comment and happy scrapping.
