Toy's Haven

Happy Saturday, friends…

I was really hoping for a lazy Saturday here in Colorado.   The sun is shining and the temps are decent.   I want to get out and do something.   Loveland is famous for it’s sculptures and there are a couple of sculpture parks here.   Today would be a great day to tour those.

But, as I began talking with my DH this morning, his list of things he needs to do grew as did mine.   It’s so funny, because usually we ask each other what we want for dinner and then the hilarity ensues as we argue back and forth.  Well this morning, when the question was posed, we both said FISH at the same time.   That NEVER happens!  I guess we’ll be grilling some fish tonight!

I started my morning with a cup of coffee (I only drink it on the weekends now) and some stamping.   Today’s Inspiration Challenge comes from the Xenia Taler website.   I chose THIS piece as my inspiration.

The image is a montage of different things.   First I used the branch from the Flowers of Happiness set from There She Goes’, then I used the small flower from the same set, stamped and cut out.   Then I used a smaller hole punch (the pieces that come out) and adhered them.   Then I went even smaller with a fine tip sharpie and a white gel pen.   Finally, I covered the whole thing with UTEE in two layers and embossed.

Here are my deets:

Stamps:  There She Goes’ Flowers of Happiness, There She Goes’ Branching Out (sentiment)

Colors: Basic Black, GP White, Riding Hood Red, Bashful Blue

Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, Versamark, white gel pen, black sharpie

Accessories: ribbon, 1/2 pearls, Victoria embossing folder, scallop punches, oval punches, dimensionals, Utee

This is for you, Sharon.  Bless your soul.   Keep up the good fight, my friend.    Blessings to all.
