INKY FINGERS

I know, it’s Sunday… but I was out until silly o’clock on Friday (friend’s son’s band album launch) and yesterday, I tackled my granddaughter’s birthday rainbow cake… and couldn’t keep my eyes open when I’d finished. Definitely getting too old for very late nights/early mornings

Saturday’s thankful offering was beautifully stamped until I decided it needed more definition, so I’d add some white pen…and ruined it! I had to improvise with some lettering which took me a LOT longer than it should have done – probably because I was still tired from the night before, lol. I also lost most of my greens, but there’s a silver lining – I ended up cutting up the second words stamp and  like it much better now I have more placement choices.

I must have been in ‘rainbow mode’ because I started with a rainbow background and one of my favourite Lavinia stamps…I think these thistles are just amazing! The smaller individual words stamps are from the Penny Black Snippets range – a very useful set of stamps.

My Granddaughter, Izzi, loves colour and especially rainbows – and has done since she was 2. She’s six this week. How time flies…I think of her every time I use bright colours and/or make rainbows.

Saturday was thankfulness for friends day. I really am blessed to have amazing friends, who have been friends for longer than I care to admit. They are always there and always ready to come running if something happens.

The theme over at Time Out Challenges is…

While the card above would qualify for that, this card was made specifically with the quote in mind. I believe happiness comes from within and is definitely a choice at times…

I had fun with this (another Katzelcraft image) but when I’d scanned the card, I realised the eyes needed something more, so I added some little gems. I didn’t have any green ones, so I coloured them with Promarkers, though it’s hardly visible. I’m not a cat lover but I’ve definitely had a ‘thing’ for cat images lately.

There are quite a few Anything Goes challenges around at the moment, so I’d like to enter the following:-
