Well, I got my High Hellos in from Lizzie Anne! Its a NEW Release that will be made available on September 10th! You can see those sets HERE.

While I was engrossed in inking my new sets, my kids decided to have some fun of their own.

Noah found a way to jam a toy into the fridge water dispenser-so that it would continuously keep pouring water out onto the floor. I guess that Spiderman car has more than one use afterall!

As it pooled on the floor, they stripped down to their undies, and began their version of a slip-n-slide across the kitchen floor.

I heard lots of giggling (from my stamp room downstairs)and knew something wasnt right! If they are HAPPY theres a PROBLEM.

I ran upstairs to see a HUGE puddle in the kitchen (along with my entire floor soaking wet) and Alexa was in the process of sliding across the floor on her butt as I emerged.

Lets say I was NOT happy. The look on their faces was priceless. I didnt even utter a word before they began scattering to grab paper towels to clean it up. 3 SOAKING wet kids in their underwear, sliding around frantically for something to whip up the mess. It looked like they hoped I had still not noticed.

They sat in time out for ONE hour-without a peep! That showed me they knew what they did was WAY wrong!

What a way to put a road block on the MOJO!

Back to my Lizzie Anne sets……………I had to share that.

I am in LOVE with them all. I began working with High Hello’s and seriously could NOT stop! I made alot of samples but for now will only share this one. Keep checking back to see more this week.

I decided for my Saturday Sketch that this would be perfect!

I hope you like it. I was very happy with how it turned out. Especially since the colors are so not my usual combo.

I LOVE layering-but keeping the layers nice and clean-not too overdone. You can really KILL a card by over doing it. Its good to know when to S-T-O-P!

Topiary Thoughts

topiary thoughts I really loved this one. It was the first card done from my set. I made it yesterday morning.

I used this awesome Strano ribbon in 5/8 Petal. It gave me this combo of Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Not Quite Navy, Celery and Artichoke! Who would have thought? Not me.

I need more of their ribbon-seriously gorgeous. I love how I tied the bow. I didnt have enough ribbon left to make a knot so thats how I improvised. Just used my linen thread.

The tree was colored with my Copic Markers, and then some Sakura glitter pens. I added green stickles to the outter lines of the topiary. The key was not to fuss with how it was colored. I just swirled my markers in various greens around in circles like the image-DONE.

I love the sentiments in that set cause they are so interchangable with all the images-too fun! Im on a huge Prima kick. I cant NOT use them these days-that and rhinestone stickers! YIKES! I hope I get out of that rut. All this PRIMA purging is so hard.

Well I hope you like the sketch and have time to try it out! Put a link here so we can all see it OK!

Enjoy the weekend, and if you have a funny kid story I’d love to hear it. Maybe it will make me feel better 😀

They are only little for so long I guess.
