Just Me and Them

New Cards...

Its getting a bit late now but I really wanted to jump on tonight and share some cards that I made with the Frantic Stamper Precision dies.  My poor little Mac is feeling a bit warm atm, my husband has been using it all night to do some homework for a course he's currently doing through TAFE.  It feels kinda awkward not being able to get on at any time I want but its also pretty cool since I know he's finally getting used to Apple technology and moving away from the dreaded PC!!  

Anyway, I kind of digressed a teeny bit.  I wanted to share a couple of cards I created so ...

I love this card.  I created it from a paper that had alreaded been printed with all the chevron patterned parts but I cut some out so that I could make stripes that had sold sections as well to break up the pattern.  

I adore those little Prima wooden Owls.  They are just so cute and this one seemed like the perfect finish for my card, sitting right there in the centre of the vine.

Last one!!  This ones a favourite - I worked out how to create lace strips using a Martha Stewart border punch and ever since, I've been making them!

Well, I guess its time for bed.  I have a stack of things to get done tomorrow and, well, have you ever noticed that Sunday seems to only have 10 hours to it?  Every other day feels like the full 24 hour deal but Sundays?  They just seem to zoom on through in the blink of an eye!

Don't you just love public holidays!

I mean what could be better!?!  You get to sleep in on technically, a workday!  You get to do whatever you feel like and not have to answer to anyone!  You get to waste as much time as you like on frivolous little time wasters like, eek, Candy Crush!!

I slept in big time this morning, only getting up because I'd promised Em Bacon and Eggs for breakfast!  I spent the better part of the day finishing off the last bits of my reports as well so that I can finally sit back and go "phew" and relax! Tonight I have very high intentions of watching Game of Thrones and then my perfect day will truly be complete!  Ha ha Ha!!

Last night, with not having to go to bed super early for work the next day, I spent the time creating a new page in my Art Journal ...

It's been created by hand using pigment pastels, watercolours and inks.  I also added some textural elements, using glitters and liquid pearls.  I think the texture really made the whole page pop, especially up close and personal with it!  The quote was from a little book of quotes I found in my chuck out drawer - I tell you what, its not there anymore!!  The drawing itself was inspired by this little pretty that I found on Pinterest ...

It's a gorgeous ink drawing that I found but that the original pinner hadnt, sadly acknowledged the original artist of.  It saddens me that many people seem to pin things from the web without acknowledging the source or at least adding a link to it so it can be located.  

I'd love to hear from the original artist or at least know who it was, I'd be curious to see the rest of their work - I bet its amazing.

Well, I think it might just be time for me to disappear for tonight.  My poor fingers are so fed up with typing today and I fear they may just host a strike if I dont stop very soon.
