Hi folks,
As we are all staying put these days, I hope you are able to do
something that brings you joy.

Colouring is one of my favourite things to do...I love to tune everything out and
just focus on making something come to life.
I'm not always happy with the outcome mind you...but this one I liked.

Today starts a new challenge at

where we have the theme of "Bloomin Wonderful (feature a flower)"

I enjoyed colouring this Marcella Hawley digital stamp.

on the background.

The Paper Shelter

where the theme is "Tons of Flowers" ..yes we want to see lots of flowers.

I've coloured one of the newest digis called "Daisies in Paradise"

This reminded me of the gerber daisies I have growing in pots in the kitchen.

I kind of lost the plot when using the SB Rose creations die but with

a little imagination perhaps they look a little like daisies.

Coloured with Copics. DP from Graphic 45 and the leaves were created using

MS fern punch.  The white flowers are from WOC, lace ribbon from Michaels

SB Rose creations die used to created the base of the flowers

Sentiment is a LOTV acrylic stamp

Diamond Stickles added to the mushroom, wings and center of the daisies.

I'm back after a lovely holiday in Florida with our daughter and her family.

We had record breaking warm weather that was great for swimming and enjoying

the sunshine. Tough to come home to the cold...brrrrr!  ...and piles of laundry!

 my work is done.  I've missed you all !
