stand out

Hello there! How are you today? I hope you are well and happy! I am relaxing after a hard day at home doing chores. I am a bit slack overall - there doesn't seem to be the time available in my life - but today I have managed to clean the kitchen properly - then muck it up again making pizza and veggie chilli - the living room has also been hoovered and I am pleased to say there is a carpet!!! result!

Tonight I have put my feet up and made a card using a visible image stamp. Its the first outing for me for this stamp - I do like it a lot.


A great on for a teenager - relatively masculine but I think it would also work for a girl. I started the background with distress oxides then stamped the image and words. Next came the stencilling with distress ink and then I added shadow and finally added the stickers.

I can't believe the school holidays are nearly over and that we're moving towards September. My Lucy is really looking forward to going to high school on Tuesday. Penny is back on Monday whih isn't going down well just now.

Better sign off just now - ready to watch the new bakeoff. I wonder what it will be like?

Big hugs
