Happiness always

This is another stamp that I purchased from the show. It is from stamp it Australia. I used a background stamp for texture then stamped the butterfly in black ink and highlighted the wings with h2o's.

Celebrate

Yeah it is time to celebrate, I have a new computer notebook this time, my old one was only 5years old, but wow so many things have changed. None of the programs that I am used to are on this one, so it has taken me ages to get work out how to do things. This is the first photo I have downloaded from my very old camera, the kodak program was not compatable, so I am trying windows live photo gallery.

This a Penny Black stamp that I purchased at the papercraft show back in June. I have coloured it with copic pens and dressed dit up with ribbon and a button.

La la Land make and take

Today I had a wonderful time at the Brisbane Scrapbook & Papercraft convention. I managed to see Tim Holtz although it was 4 deep to see him at work. I stopped stand 31 to see 

Irina Blount from La La Land Crafts, conducting make and takes. With some perfect timing and a vacant chair, I was invited to make and take a 3D box card. This was the best make and take I have ever made, although I was a bit nervous using copic pens in front of an audience, as I know I don't use them the way that are meant to be used, and I take quite some time to get the colouring the way that I like it.

 I couldn't resist adding a few more Marci and Luka stamps to my collection.

 and a some flourishes stamps, penny black stamp, Marianne dies, and copic refills and a few other things.

Thanks for looking

Follow your heart

I saw this layout some time ago on Debby Yates blog A Scrapjourney now finally I have had the chance to case it. The main image is Upsy Daisy set from Stampin up, it may even be discontinued now, which is a bit of a shame. The text is an unmounted clear set that I have had for some time and of course I didn't write down the manufacturer.
