magic_moment.jpgMagic MomentI have flipped the sketch on its side so I could use two smaller photos.
My interpretation is based on our rush to get out of the ward when we could grab moments to take Josh to the magic of the fairy garden at the Children's hospital.

Don_t_Blink.JPGDon't BlinkThanks for a great sketch Jen! When I think "Stampede" I think of cattle, cowboys & country music so I've used the lyrics from a Kenny Chesney song for my title & journalling. TFL!8 commentsNov 08, 2009
kids_at_heart.jpgKids at HeartThis Sketch challenge really pushed me. BG paper
stamping techniques 1. painted the pink leaf emb and then picked parsley from the garden and used it to stamp a pattern on the emb - It really worked well. I then used papertowl and inked it onto the cream CS for backing and used 3 cut ribbon flowers to create the pattern on the bottom of the blue CS mount.
I also tried Alli's paper curling tech for one of the emb.
It was great fun to do this page and tested me for creative ideas for stamps7 commentsNov 08, 2009
