No time....

well, not much time for anything but minimising the devastation that Willow and Faith cause, before Graham gets home this afternoon.

My Whiff of Joy Summer Stamp Kit arrived on Saturday and they are fab - absolutely beautiful images from the wonderful Elisabeth Bell. Have inked them up and just need to find the time to colour them now. 

I'll be stalking my long-suffering postie today in the hope that my new Rain, Snow, Shine Miss Anya's will arrive from the incredibly helpful Tracey at Dies to Die For, as well as the scrummy new Leanne Ellis stamp and a couple old favourites from probably my favourite; Sugar Nellie.

So, better get on with the housework - can I get away with tying the kids up so they don't make a mess????

**Update**

OMG OMG OMG my stamps have arrived - I have to do housework, but I NEED to ink these babies up argh!!!

Gorjuss Girls combo

Would you believe it... Faith was in bed before half 8 last night, and when I went through to the living room to see what Willow was up to, she was sparked out on the chair. So I lifted her and put her to bed and actually had peace to do some crafting - woohooo. Scott went away to bed and I gave him a book to read so he wasn't laughing too loudly at the telly - not sure if thats an autistic thing or whether its just him - but he just has to roar with laughter at the telly, or just for no apparent reason at all.

Anyway, I thought I'd colour in a couple of the new Gorjuss Girls from set 2. Tina and I went halfies on the 2nd set of GG's and I stamped up some of the ones I kept and she did the same for me, so I used 2 of the GG with teddy bear that she sent me (thanks Teen xx) just for fun. 

The tag is just a plain white die cut tag that I bought in a batch from the wee craft shop on the dual carriageway between Westhills and Kingswells. To that I added a swirl cut with the flower and vine sizzix die in the cuttlebug from Papermania Scrumptious paper. The image is from the Gorjuss Girls set #2 from Sugar Nellie, coloured with promarkers - accented with white sakura gelly roll.

The card is a plain white Anita's square card blank, the paper is Papermania Scrumptious again, matted onto lilac core'dinations card. The lilac ribbon was from Recollections in Peterhead. I used another plain white tag and cut it down a bit to fit. I used the flower & vine sizzix die again to cut the swirl from the same lilac core'dinations card. The image is the same as before. And finally the greeting is a Daisy & Dandelion banner.

Friday Sketchers #52

Now that I have a huge stock of my fave Doodlebug Papers from the fantabulous Oliver at Emerald Crafts, I got the opportunity to play with them when I spotted this week's Friday Sketchers challenge which is sponsored by Elzybells.

This card is for the 19th birthday of the daughter of an old friend of mine, I've known Emma since she was just a little girl and I can't believe she's 19 already, where does the time go?
