ahhhh

I need new batteries still for the camera so no show and tell today ( roll on payday tomorrow) its driving me up the wall. I have a fair bit to share. So ill just share a tut I followed today ( just ask my wilton food dye stained hands, got a lil excited) , so thanks to this tutorial and the free cycler that gave me all her inks and some perfect pearls, I now own a brilliant blue, deep purple, bronzey pink, and the most beautiful perfect granny smith apple green (can you tell its one of my favourite colours - just need to get an orange one now and ill be in colour heaven) sparkly mist, all for the price of some travel sprtizers.

Oh while you are at her blog , check out her flower tutorials .

And since Im sending you places go here.

You will not regret it, she has gotten me into making cards. A beautiful drool worthy blog.

 I often go to this blog to drool, and this is not helping my poor damp key board any! cant figure out how to get the piccie up of it in my tired stupor so just trust me and click the link!

Holy Cow!!

Look here,

now scroll to where it says Public Choice Runner up - see that name its mine!!, and I checked Im the only one by that name in the challenge. So not expecting that - each time I saw a new entry go up, I kept going Oh wow. this will win or that will. ( incidentally the one that one is the one I voted for so im glad to see that!). I entered my the day the wind ( was not) blue and The quality of the photo of the  LO out was shocking! Im Shocked but happy.

ITs been all quiet here on the western front as my hubby who never takes a day off is ill and has been off since this time last week. He still is not well. I had to stay home last night instead of going to see The Script at concert. The things we do for love. But on the bright side I have ben playing with my sewing machine, playing around for Softies for Mirabel.

No pictures though as my camera is demanding new batteries! 

Cute baby shows what will be going on around here this weekend - dying husband or not. He has been waiting a long time for this ( am I a horrible wife if the only reason I care about the Eels winning is so I dont have a sooking Hubby all off season!?!)

Out of the hat

Lost my mojo this morning and didn't have the foggiest what I wanted to scrap at Daphs, so I checked out what challenges were on this month, found my self over here (again( top one)).

Challenge pieces were

1. Use some sort of distressing on your layout 

2. Use black & white and only 1 other colour 
3. Use different types of lettering in your title 

So I did this.

 Using newspaper clippings from the daily telegraph in leu of the photos I missed. Journaling says the day the wind (was not) Blue. Blue is written in orange, under the black mesh.

Sorry about the crappy full layout photo, just could not get a good one!
