New Sketch @ Sketches: Creatively Yours

Be sure to go over to Sketches: Creatively Yours and check out the new sketch that has been put up


Here is my take on the sketch

So Much has happened

On June 17th 2011, my brother and his partner welcomed Ella Grace into the world, she is my first niece and my parents first grandchild.

We all think she is gorgeous and we love her to pieces :-)

I've also given up the smokes, coming up to 10 weeks since I had a smoke and I'm very proud of myself :-)

I've also signed up and have started doing Soul Restoration 1  through Brave Girls Club, so far it has made me think and listen and I'm enjoying it.

Sketches: Creatively Yours Sketch 2 reveal

This is late but been busy last few days, the new sketch is up at Sketches: Creatively Yours


Here is my take on the sketch

SP and Company Stamps

I found a great site that offers great stamps and also offers other products as well, check them out here, they also have a friendly forum which you can check out here.

They have a Design Team call at the moment and you had to make something using stamps and you have to use blue on your project, here is what I came up with

I used The Greeting Farms Stamp - Birthday Anya, coloured her with my copics, also used my copics to colour the large blue flowers.

DT Layouts

Here are some DT layouts I can share with you

First one is for Sketches: Creatively Yours

Second one is for The Mosy Scrapper 

That is all I can share with you right now

Update Time
