Goodness, it's been far too long since I last hit the 'new post' button!
Work has been even crazier than usual and has left little or no time for crafting, or much else if truth be told. With more and more people leaving it can only get worse.
It was great today to finally put ink to paper. I had forgotten how much of a stress buster a little colouring and cutting can be. I can only apologise for my absence, and say a big thank you to everyone who has stuck with me as a Follower over the last month.
I bought this stamp some time ago, knowing that it would be perfect to use for my beautiful sister-in-law's birthday. Here she is with her hubby, and huge Step-sons at the Christening back in July.
For anyone not already in the know this lovely image is called Windswept from Simply Sassy at Funky Kits.
I coloured her with Promarkers and layered papers from Basic Grey's Lemonade Pad.
I watched this fab tutorial for a little help with her hair and had a few practice attempts before colouring the final image. I'm sorry the pictures are a little dark.
I'm delighted to find that It's Anything Goes week over at the Creative Card Crew, and 'open' week at Flutterby Wednesdays, and ' As you like it' for Challenge #95 at Totally Gorgeous. Thanks guys!
Happy crafting everyone - I'll see you again SOON!
Sorry this is such a short post but I have had one heck of a day and need to try and unwind and relax; before I have to go and do it all again tomorrow!
