Summer Fun

Not quite the weekend that I had in mind.  Grey skies and lots of rain, and then I was under the weather too.  Some sort of bug that kept me in bed, where I slept nearly 20 hours.  I've not done that before, and hopefully it's moving right along.


I worked with a sketch today, not something I do very often but this one caught my eye.  It gave me a chance to play with a stencil to create the circular piece.  It's so nice to make use of one of my hidden 'must haves', when I chance to remember them.

This card will be for one of my grandsons, to give to his teacher, sure to remind her of ''what little boys are made of''.   From Whipper Snapper, this stamp is called Eli and Frogger....and it too has been hiding in my drawer for a while.  A delightful summer image, this time I've coloured with Tombo watercolour markers..

A few fun challenges, sure to inspire....
