Bliss

I have time to myself...well I did till Tracy convinced me to join in a card swap!!  Decided I would try and combine them with some challenges. So , first is my High hopes entry, lots of dots. This is a favourite image, the carrot express. It is coloured with copics and twinkling H2O's. the paper is a mixture including SU and whatever spotty stuff I could find.

  Riley is a man! LOL!  He has a girlfriend here to make puppies with and he's figuring out what he's sposed to do. Don't think he'll be able to go back to Camilla, his gorilla, when Gemma leaves!!LOL. Gav was a bit worried yesterday that Riley might be gay, cos they played together, but that was it!

Onto the last Twilight book now....what will I read when I've finished that?!  Nothing will compare!!LOL!

Scraps

The challenge at High Hopes is to use up your scraps. Ha!  Well, use some of them anyway!LOL! Here is my hippo ( coloured with copics)  that I haven't even used before, on a bed of leftovers! Couldn't resist colouring the toenails and highlighting with crystal effects. Have used SU card stock and a hodge podge of other bits, including SU felt fusion flowers.

 We had a fun night at the school hall last night,  making gift cards and boxes, and watching the team assembling their scrapbook pages. So cool girls, wish I had my camera there.  It was hilarious to see them all file outside, each with a page ripped out of a book, where they then proceeded to burn the edges. Fire bugs! The smell of smoke hovered for ages!

 Right, done the card, now back to my book...LOL!

High Hopes

The High Hopes challenge this week is a sketch and this is my attempt. The image is of course High Hopes, the cardstock is SU and the paper is a mix of SU & BG. The ladybird buttons I found at the local quilt shop  ( Clare has some very cute buttons there) .

  This stamp makes me laugh, there's no way my dogs would sit smiling beside me with an icecream in their faces....I'd be covered in drool and there'd be many attempts to sneak a slurp! 

Scrappy

Well this makes a change, its not green!!!!  Don't know if I like it but anyway, had fun just using up scraps of SU & BG papers and found a High Hopes image I coloured ages ago but never got around to using. It was coloured with water colour pencils, copics and twinkling H2Os.  I like this image, reminds me of how Bruno used to snuggle....

 Visited Denise today and found out she's been ordering more stamps on the net! Tsk tsk! Sposed to be saving !!!! At least they are WOJ and I want some, so as long as I get to play with them I'll be happy!

Hope you had a good safe drive home Trace, it was great to meet you and Annette. Hope we weren't too noisy.....  Does hubby like the piccy of Riley? Gav was a bit peeved when I said I almost gave his ginger Poo away. The little toe-rag would be missed around here if I did.  He can be very cute!

Carrot Express

Had a play with some colouring in yesterday, this rabbit is a cutie and as I have to wait for my sugar nellie stamps I might just have to play with some more high hopes stamps ( the ones I got in trouble for ordering....well you know what its like late at night, cruising stamp sites and you just gotta have those ones, no time to CONSULT everyone else in case they want any !!!!! GEEEZ!)
I DID consult Tracy about the sugar nellies and dont tell her husband but she went crazy!  Now Denise will chew my ear off I guess...just can't wait any longer...gotta have them now! They're so cute.
  Were sposed to be going over to Hawkes Bay for my brothers wedding this weekend. Unfortunately we cant leave Bruno, its too hot for him to travel, I wont go on my own...if this rain keeps up I may have to do some housework then hit the stamps...and I can feel a poodle page coming on....
