I could not have come at a better time for me as I have been spending the last few weeks dealing with my parents health issues.
Thats the reason I have been unable to post much, my mind is just full of worry. If things don't improve for them I will be making a trip to Fla. So my blogging friends please forgive me for awhile for my absence... I am missing all of you more then you know!!!!

Starry Eyed WT200



Today on SCS it was all about using Stars, I Had some paintable wallpaper that I could not wait to play with so I thought this would be perfect to use for this Challenge... Paintable wallpaper comes in many designs and textures and it loads of fun to play with and alter... I made my stars and background paper using this wallpaper. I sponged on marvy ink, two shades of blue to make back ground paper, For the stars I used my nesties star cutouts along with the same two blue shades with alittle added red ink, once I clear embossed the stars I got this really neat color...Pretty Pretty...

Details:
Paintable wallpaper, and a mix from scrap bucket
Ink: Marvy Ink, blues,red
Stars: nesties
extras: pop dots,clear embossing,

Thanks for stopping by:" It's so much fun to share"...

The Lion King.....



This was made by a 16 year old boy (Doug), He gave it to me as a gift this morning because he knew how much I just loved it, so I could hang it in my craft room. His drawings are just Amazing and I am so lucky he lets me look through his sketch book each and every morning before he hops out of my car for school each-day.... I thought because I love this sketch so much I would share it with all of you too...enjoy!!!!!!
