ST JOHNSTONE....

On Monday we travelled down to Perth...My son Morgan has just signed for St Johnstone Pro-Youth U15s (he's a goalkeeper and at 14 is already taller than me and just about as tall as his dad!)...we are very proud of him and his footballing achievements!!

 

He has played for Dyce Boys Club for the last 18 months or so and they have done fantastically well this season winning all but the Scottish Cup...he was awarded Players' Player last week at their presentation. Two of his team mates Elliot and Josh have also signed...

 

 

Congratulations to them all and very well deserved!

QUIRKY...

I was on Facebook the other day and a post came up for a card using a Stampotique stamp and some washi tape, it reminded me of some monster cards I did a while ago using the Hero Arts monster digi stamps and lots of splattered paint...

 

 

And this is what I came up with...I used Dylusion Inks to make the splatter this time...The Lovely Girl one has already gone and I'm going to use the Birthday Girl one for Niamh as it's her 8th birthday on Thursday!

 

Enjoy the sunshine if you have it...a couple more dance classes and that's us officially on summer holidays...off to meet up with Sonja this afternoon.

Teacher Thank You...

In most parts of Scotland I think this is the last day of term and with that comes the Thank You gift and card for the teacher(or teachers in our case, we have 5 between the two girls still at primary school!)

 

 

 

I am very proud of the fact that I have had mine(along with my next door neighbour and my sister-in-laws) made and ready to hand out about 3 weeks ago... I opted for a simple card as I was making so many and I painted, stamped and embossed the apple with the teacher's name on one side and from ??? on the other... I hope they liked them.

 

Well hope that whenever you get your summer holidays that you enjoy them and lets hope that they bring some much needed sunshine with them.

ANOTHER CANVAS...

I've done another canvas along the same lines as the butterfly ones that I love to make..and they are a great way to use up all your patterned paper scraps...you know the ones you keep because they might just be the colour/pattern you need for a project...haha..I have two drawers full of these!!

 

This one is slightly smaller...

I love stamping on tissue paper and mod podging it onto canvases as the white of the tissue all but disappears with the glue...

 



 

I also love these heart balloon stamps by Paperbag Studios who do some fab stamps..

 

One more day of school and then we are finished for 46 days and counting!!!

WEE CANVAS...

Just a wee canvas that I started a while ago...texture paste through the alpha stencil and lots of messy paints...it's been sitting on my desk for ages waiting for the right finishing touch and I had the quotation stamp set out for the card in the post below and it just seemed right...

 

Really should go now as I am supposed to be at potted sports by now...hope you all have a great day and really hope the rain stays off!!
