Toadstools

Hi Everyone,

Well the boys are now back at school.
While it is lovely for the quiet days, this term has already raised a lot of issues my little one has at school.  He used to love school but now only goes 'because he has too'.  It is just heartbreaking.
I am hoping this weekend he can relax and that next week is better for him.


So for this card, I created the background earlier in the week waiting for my new Gorjuss stamps to arrive.
So yesterday, I could not wait any longer as I needed to get it done and just as I finished, my new stamps arrived.  Isn't that always the way, lol.

So for today's inspiration I have used an older stamp 'Toadstools' (link below).


Ingredients:
Stamp:  Toadstools
Medium:  Copic Markers
Sentiment:  Heidi Swapp

I swear it was this big

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all having a great weekend.
I certainly am.

I am grateful I got to spend some time with is wonderful friends over lunch yesterday.
Unfortunately one could not make it and just want to let her know that I am thinking of her and her family.

The boys played an amazing game of soccer yesterday and thankfully they came of with a win.  It has been a long time coming but they finally got there.

So today I thought I would sit and colour.
