Quick Stampscape Post
Quick post this AM!
I picked up this new "word" stamp on the weekend and wanted to use it!
So this morning, (the pics below) I was playing with the stampscape a little bit more, before I take the dogs for a hike in the mist!
The paper was just thick paper.....not card stock or water color paper; just higher grade photocopy paper! So the results likely could be much better with better paper and it being completely dry to stamp!
:) always in a rush!
I inked the image with versamark; then rubbed butterscotch gelato all over the image; applied green tea, silver and chocolate hit and miss in the areas of those color ! Sprayed with water, stamped. Sprayed with water again....stamped on another piece of paper (one with the poem that was a going to the garbage).....just for fun!
Then cleaned stamp and dried....inked up with black ranger and stamped over the 2nd time stamping gelato image, coffee with the first stamping! If that makes sense ! :)
Very quick!
Posting takes so much longer! Especially when the browser is having script errors! I guess that is maybe why my typing and keyboards is not making me happy!
I love my gelatos! I guess that is why I purchased some more about a month ago! But was sooooo disappointed. I already had 6 of the colors and thought I was getting 15. New packaging, colors not listed on the outside and misleading not saying 2 sponges and brush! I was rushing and it was an impulse buy! Bad me! And Faber-Castell! But Love the new green iced pear....used it on the turtle!
Have a great day everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Thanks for stopping!

Rain showers.....
Well.......
I was going to get off to the back hill this morning to go pick queen anne's lace and hang the other flowers that I picked last night to dry!
But the mist started again!
So instead I bathed one dog and did laundry!
So now not being productive....computer time is not protective time! But it is therapy time! :)
So I have come up with lots of possabilities! :)
Guess I need to invest in that stamp (http://www.quietfiredesign.ca/I-Dwell-In-Possibility-Mounted-5932.html) !!!.....
Have a great day everyone! Enjoying the rain or mist ......:)

Paper Tole
Yesterday, I had company after I got home from my afternoon of card making with the residences! ( It was a great day! We were an hour and half making the card! :) I know the gentleman really enjoyed using the gelatos and was impressed with the envelope maker! So it was a great day! )
So my guest asked about one of my pictures hanging on the wall; A pair of blue Jays!
It is a craft that I use to love to do! And yes I have a stock pile of it too!
I started a set of foxes a number of years ago to make for a relative for Christmas but never got it finished! Life happened! :( Life can change with the blink of the eye! So I lost my motivation!
Now few years later, lack of time and space issues, numbness and tingling don't help with the motivation!
This craft did give me a huge Honor ! I was chosen to present Prince Edward with one of my pictures on behalf of Nova Scotia 4-H. So this wasn't yesterday! :)
I have been very lucky! I am very grateful for everything!
This morning I was painting my new stamp of poppies by penny black; it brings back memories of working number of jobs that summer! I worked in a greenhouse a tiny bit and got a flat of poppies to plant in the garden! Huge Thank you to Ms H.! She is an awesome person! Her whole family I owe a huge Thanks too! Her sister taught me Ukrainian Easter eggs! She is brilliant! The whole family are just great people!
This is the product of my last class with Eddie and Barb; my instructors for paper tole! They were great ladies too! Miss them!
Maybe when I get this new craft area cleaned/made and having more space for my clutter, I might get back in the groove! :) I'm hoping to move my stain glass clutter there too! I have lots of ideas! But, Not a risk taker! I get very stressed when more goes out than comes in! I'm hoping I can combine gardening, crafts and the dogs in having' my cake and eat it too plan! Thanks for stopping bye! Have a great day! Going to be wettin' here soon! :) We need the rain!

Senior's Card Day
Good morning!
What a difference 5 minutes makes!
I wished I had of taken a camera this morning when I walked to the top of the hill! The sun was red!
So this picture wasn't as spectacular!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! We had to go shopping for parts on Saturday so I was asked, did I want to get dropped off at the scrape booking store? At first I said no! But then I was asked again! Well I came home with 3 items! Bad me! Love the 2 new stamps that I purchased! I justified one that I could use with the senior group that I go and make cards with!
So here is the card idea for them........
I might die cut a bunch of butterflies too for them!
I will take a bunch of inks and gelatos! Some of the residents are mobile others are not! I am not great at picking an appropriate design for them! But, I'm learning!
I had to make a birthday card too for our niece! She'll be turning 3! Wished they lived closer! (Should add some little leaves too!)
Thanks for looking! Have a great week!
