You are Truly Appreciated…

Afternnon - How are you - WOW what a change in weather we have had - once again! Its steaming hot outside - kids are out playing and well I'm inside doing what I do best - washing, tidying, (blogging), shouting, cooking, and more cleaning (Ohhh and colouring but shhhh!)

So yes Im finally once again ahead of myself and my oh my do I like the feeling - got so much still to do with Christmas fast approaching! But - I will get there.  

So a couple of weeks ago the wonderful Betty had a fab offer in the shop - if you spent over a certain amount you would get a free image from a future release! and so yet i couldn't resist and so I made a purchase an Oh my the free one is beautiful! 

This is Anthea - She isn't available yet - but I suggest you keep your eyes peeled over at the shop for when her and the rest of the release are available - remember you will see previews over on the SBS Blog! or you can join us on the Facbook Group here. 

So after sending her out Betty decided that she was going to run a challenge for us all on the FB group using this image! So I just HAD to join in! The image was coloured with copics - I coloured her on the sofa one night so I have no idea as to what colours I used.  The papers are all from my stash, I also used my SU Distressing tool and my Th inks! The flowers, pin and cheesecloth are all from my stash.  The sentiment is from Tickled Pink - I purchased the thank you sentiments ages ago and stashed them away!

Tumblin' Buddy's #3

Morning, Afternoon, Evening!!! I thought it was a good idea to put them all!! 

How are we today? brrr is been very cold here! 

Over on the SBS Facebook Page there have been a couple of 'Tumblin' Buddy Swaps' they have always look FAB! and so I decided that I would join in with the third.

Now I'm hopefull that you have come from Sheri's Blog, if not you need to start over at the SBS Blog here and work your way through!

I was fortunate to be paired with the AMAZING Betty.  

I was kind of nervous about what to send her, I just hope she likes what I sent.  

Now due to post being slow she has had to send me pictures of what is in my box… 

no word of a lie I sat here for 20 mins just staring at it!!! 

You can see why I am sat at my window every day stalking the postman and willing him to deliver this to me!!!! I can't wait! Well now you need to hop to Michelle's blog to see what she received! Happy Hopping!

October Thirty First….

BOOOO! I know I didn't really scare you - but it was worth a shot! 

How are you all today? Well I finally have the mojo back - slowly but surely its all falling together - and Im no longer chasing my tail! Yep creativity is running free.  Yesterday I was sat here and I had a 'light bulb' moment - you know when suddenly you can see what you want to create and you know exactly HOW to create… and so I decided that I would use my idea! 

Now this has not been the easiest to photograph as the front is acetate hence why its quite a dark photo!   I purchased a set of stamps last week from e-bay (never been too big for halloween but now I kinda LOVE it!) My Minds Eye Lost and Found Halloween - they are SO SO funky and I have so many more ideas with them… I don't know if I will ever stop! 

Meet the FAB Wrapped Up Rio

Now I think it looks FAB.  In both the top corners I stamped the spiders web, I HAD to use the potion bottles too so added them in the bottom corner - as a sentiment I went with 'Halloween - October Thirty First' - I so love the stamps and the papers too - they are from the My Minds Eye 6x6 Paper Stack - there are so many lovely papers in that pack - may have to grab another one! 

All the designs on the front were stamped onto the acetate using Stayz On oh and my trusty anti-static bag! I forgot how useful the bag was - Now as you can imagine it was pretty hard to try and line all the stamps us on the acetate and YES I made a few mistakes hence why I have a little tip for you

**If you find that your not happy with your stamped image on acetate - remember you can always use Acetone Free Nail Varnish Remover to remove the image - Always make sure you wash the area after with a damp cloth**

She is SO FAB and I can't wait to colour her again! She was coloured with copics
