I’m posting twice in one post tonight because our internet connection is so slow. We have our suspicions that it’s being sucked dry by the teenage msn-monster upstairs, but I can’t prove it and she’s so happy to be back in school that I have no intention of rocking the proverbial boat!!
It’s been a while since I was inspired to make a single tag, but I do love the colour purple and the Taggers have some lush Purple Onion Stamps as an incentive this week! I enjoyed this one – got covered in ink, paint, glue and gel medium, but it was worth it!! Blogging pal Carol has shown so many lovely examples of using more than one embossing folder in her artwork, that I was inspired to do that with this piece. You can’t tell, but the base was silver embossed paper, covered with purple acrylic smoosh, run through the next folder and inked with black stazon.
Adrienne sent me the tiny puzzle piece and the purple image came from Ten Two Studios sheet of Little Purple Things. I always find an appropriate image when I’m hunting them out – sometimes it’s hard just choosing one!
And while I was waiting for a set of Inchies to dry, prepping a mask and checking the paint on my Anti-Valentine quiltie… I made this ATC – for TGIF (Green) and Rosie & Linda’s ABAA. Party on, Garth!!
Couldn’t resist the reference to Wayne’s World there… it came on TV a few weeks ago and DD was sitting with me while I watching it – talk about a blast from the past! She was in fits of laughter and told all her Msn buds to tune in too. Well, we had a party of our own going on there for a while! LOL!
It’s been fun sometimes having her homeschooled – she’s absorbed quite a lot of our ‘pop’ culture and accused me of watching some “really weird films” (I’m a Sci-Fi buff!), for we’ve enjoyed our together time and have regained that very tight family bond we used to have. But she needs the sociability of school and the opportunities available to her at Budehaven are life-changing, so it’s for the best. “Party on, DD!! Party on, Wayne!” 😉
