This week is our lovely Wendy's turn to host and she would like to see 'Transport', whether it be Boat, Train, Hot Air Balloon or a Bicycle, there's lots to choose from.

Rainbow Wishes

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Over The Rainbow' So this can be something inspired by the colours of the rainbow or by the song.  For my rainbow colours I used Distress Inks, then used Indigo Blu stamps.added some Glamour dust for the butterfly wings.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up, I kept this card really simple so I didn't loose the colours of the ink.  This is not my usual style but my good friend B sent me some very good card to use with my inks and it's worked a treat.  So all this time I thought I couldn't get it right it's all been down to the card I have used.  Thank you Brenda, I've enjoyed getting inky.

The sentiment tags are stamped in purple, but looks dark on the photo, it's a new ink to me I got as a gift, so thought I'd try it out, I love it, it's Versafine Claire in Monarch.  And the pearls started of as white and I coloured them to match my card using Spectrum Noir markers.

A Quick Note
I would just like to explain my absence from blogland for the last 5 months, my eldest son Scott tragically passed away in July 2018, at the age of 22 years.  So as you can imagine it has been devasting for us and I have had to take a break. I am still on a break, but as Brenda has been ill I have stepped in to help run her challenge blogs, but I am not creating anything yet as I have no mojo.  I do hope to return in the near future.  The card above I already had made, so thought it was a shame to waste it when it was so fitting for the theme.

Blowing Bubbles

Good Morning bloggers, hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather, a bit too hot for me.  Last Sunday we had a football Gala, Bobby's team got into the final and won, all I got was bad sunburn, I was covered with a thin blouse on and it burnt straight through.  This week it's a big match, but I will make sure I'm protected better.  Bobby is doing brilliant at football at the moment, and it's nice to have some good weather for it.  I'm so used to standing in the freezing cold and rain LOL!
