Hi all,

I have been awarded a blogger award the

A bit about the award (I've snaffled this info. from Diane's post). This award was designed to be a blog award in the pay it forward fashion. Once you've been nominated, you  award it to blogs that you like, that have fewer than 200 followers, to encourage  visitors to these new blogs.

Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog. Give the award to 5 bloggers who you appreciate, that have fewer than 200 followers. Leave a comment on their blog to let them know that you have given them this awesome award.

Amy

After sleeping most of yesterday away, I feel so much better today and was eager to finish this page off for the challenge at Sketches with a Twist.

One of my daughter Amy,

The extra criteria with the sketch was texture paint. I have used some as it is, white, and then I coloured some with pink spray ink. Most of the paper I used are from the My Minds Eye range-The Sweetest Thing, Tangerine. I love this range. I have also used little Dahlias from Stampin Up.

 Lollipop flowers I made to match the paper using pinking shears for the edging effect.

The sayings around the page also come from the paper range, totally sums up my Amy. For the chevron I used the Stampin Up banner punch and layered them on top of each other.

beach days

Hi there,

It's been nice with the kids back to school and the routine it brings, except I have now been struck with a flu I can't get rid off which is making it hard for me to get motivated.
I have done a page for the ARTastic challenge this month which is focused on this painting by Charles Meere,

Enjoying 2 weeks of swimming lessons during the summer break. We take a packed lunch and usually spend the whole day at the beach. This page used a lot of my bits and pieces which is good.

Hope to see your creations over at ARTastic and be in the running for some great prizes.

I have a page I've nearly completed, hopefully I can get some energy up to finish it and share it with you soon.
