Up Up and Away.

 
Goodmorning:) I picked up this stamp from spotlight a couple of weeks ago for around $2.00 it's an acrylic stamp and I normally will only buy acrylic from Papertrey Ink or October Afternoon as I have found most other brands (that I have tried) are a poor quality and won't pick up the inks that I own. This stamp is the same, but I had to have it as my hubby has Papertrey Inks stamp set button bits put away for my birthday and I am dying to use it as you can guess, so when I saw these balloons on this silhouette image (I love silhouettes) then I had to buy it regardless if it would pick up ink or not.LOL

Supplies

Stamp - Grace Taylor "Silhouette children and balloons" & Papertrey Ink "Birthday".

Cardstock - SU "Riding Hood Red", "Bashful Blue" & "Whisper White".

Patterned Paper - Daisy D's "Bowdoin Street Floral".

Buttons - SU "Riding Hood Red", others from my stash.

Ribbon - SU "Riding Hood Red" Satin

Tools - Nestabilities "Rectangle Scallop" & SU "Oval Punch".

TFL:)

hAllOweEn is hErE AlrEaDy?

 

 

Where has the week gone? I have been still fighting to get well again and it's taking it's toll. That's why my blog has been quiet this week. I am even late getting up the halloween lolly vials I made to hand out to the little monsters that knock at the door tonight:) We are going out to the baseball (can't wait) to see Perth Heat vs Team Usa tonight. So if the little monsters don't get here early there won't be anyone to answer the door.LOL So I have only prepared some and not gone overboard this year.

I stamped the tags with a Stampin' Up bat from best fiend set that's now retired. The witches shoe is from a clear halloween set from crafty stamps. I inked the edges in SU's gable green ink. The twine is from my stash (I think it was once a making memories twine from long ago) and the zig zag ribbon is also from stash I ordered from an online ribbon company in Australia (brand unknown).

The little vials I ordered online from the USA about two years ago and am slowly using them all up:) I will have to source something new when I run out of them.

Hope you all have a great weekend and hope to be back again by Monday as I have a card to make that was ordered:)

Jacob turns 9!

I just wanted to share a couple of pics of my youngest son turning 9. He is pictured with the cupcakes I made and Jake decorated for school today. And his new guitar, he can already play the opening to smoke on the water!! I can't believe how quickly Tim taught him and he picked it up:) oh ps...the photo of Jake with the guitar was taken with my iphone, so the quality isn't very good.
