**** Fall ****

 Hello folks,

  Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

I  loved this digital image from Julia Spiri and decided to colour her with copics and polychromo pencils.  I'm so happy with the outcome.  It took me several days....colouring when I could squeeze in a little time.  I stressed over the colour of her sweater so checked a colour wheel and decided on mauve.

*** Doodle, doodle ***

 Hello folks,

It's time for a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin Challenge

where we have the theme of  "Doodling"

 I began by doodling a "tree"but not so sure now..think it looks like a giant dandelion seed.  So much fun with this one,  I used some Lavinia's stamps to create a scene and then doodled the frame.  Tim Holtz Distressed Oxide inks used to create the background. The sentiment is made using an alphabet punch.

Dinner at our daughters tonight.  We will be sending our granddaughters off to Uni. and they will be missed so much.   So very proud of the beautiful, confident young women they have become.

**** Stamping ****

 Hi Folks,

Hope all is well with you and yours. 

It's been rather noisy around here with all the renovations but on the bright side it's giving us excuses to get away during the day and enjoy some of the lovely parks along the lake and countryside. This does not leave much time for crafting but I managed to squeeze this one in.  

Today starts a new challenge at

where we have a theme of "Inspired by Book/Film/Song"

I've used a Rubber Cottage stamp that I've had for over 10 years.
It falls in the "Song" option and I've chosen "Hungry Like The Wolf" by Duran Duran, keeping with a very simple design making the image the focal point.
