Love you Dad...

My Dad has Motor Neuron Disease.  It has to be the most awful thing a person could have.  I took the boys up to see him the other weekend.  He is now in the high care facility at a local aged care unit.  He cannot walk any more and has great difficulty speaking.  However, he still loves to zoom the boys around the hallways on his wheelchair.  Always the hoon!!

Love you Dad..

Thanks for stopping by.

Its been a while...

Well we have had a very busy month.  I can't believe that it has been a month since I did a blog post.  On 9th September we were lucky to be heading off to Vanuatu for a holiday with the family and friends.  It was the most amazing holiday.

We visited a local school - This is the Peter Pan private school.  We are so lucky to have schools like we do in Australia.

We also visited a local scrapbook store!!  I have to say it is not really a scrapbook store if it does not even have cardstock.

Our hotel was fantastic.  The water was just so clear.

Live Life...

I wanted to play with borders in this layout.  I have used my paint dabbers over my screens to create the borders.  I then used my Sharpie marker to make the border pop.

Blue hair and handbag to match.  It is always great to play with different stamps.

This just says it all.

A little bit of Christmas...

Dylusions have release their Christmas range and oh course I just had to play with it.  I love the border stamps.  They are so versatile.  I have used a different technique for the background.  I prepared a paint wash and covered the page.  You can still see the ink spray colours underneath but it leaves a very muted look to the page.

Isn't he cute??  Not sure if he likes the spiders!!

Love this saying.  I will just have to make sure that my kids dont' see it!

I love this holly border stamp.  It is fantastic.  This also shows you that you don't need to be perfect with your colouring.

Walking on thin ice...

Just another page in my art journal.  I just love how every page is different.  You can add so much emotion to your page.  I love watching how the pages develop.  Someone told me the other day that looking at a pages was like Where's Wally.  You see different things every time you look.

Love this girl.  I have added little white dots using my white Sharpie to add accents to the bow in her hair.

And of course I just had to add a spider!!.

Thanks for stopping by.

Imperfection ...Embrace It

I just love the saying on this page.  It really matches with "Peggy" by Stampotique Originals.

Mr. Stripes is quickly becoming one of my favourite stamps.  I added some white dots with my Poster Paint Sharpie to accent him.

These stamps are a tad strange but I just love them.

Words Can Say it All

I decided to fill some of the Ranger water pens with my Dylusions Inks to help make it easier to colour in the stamped images.

I love this toadstool stamp and it was a great way to test how my new pens with ink work.

I have used the letter template in different directions and ways.  I really love how this background worked out.

I really don't like birds but actually kinda like this stamp.

Sometime you find some words that are really how you are feeling and exactly what needs to be put on paper.

Don't you just how vibrant the colour are??
