I was literally having a play the other day and came up with this LO for a bit of fun!
I hand-drew the clouds and rainbow and used heaps of paint, glitter and Glimmer Mist.....
Was a lot of fun.

Want To Win A Present For My Birthday????

Well I have just noticed that I have 37 followers. That is so exciting!
But I was wondering how how nice it would be if I could get 39 Followers for my 39th Birthday.
So if I can get 39 Followers by the 4th of July, I thought I would have a birthday party with you all. The difference will be that one of you guys could get the presents!!!!
If I have 39 Followers by midnight (AEST) on the 3rd of July I will have an extra special present for someone.
Just make sure you check back here on my birthday and I will show you what I have planned.................

There is a brilliant prize up for grabs this week at 52 Sketches...52 Weeks!
You could win this awesome prize pack sponsored by
Scrap For A Cure.

This is my take on Sketch#25 at 52 Sketches...52 Weeks.

I have been so busy with the Cyber Crop at Ready, Set, Scrap! this weekend that I have only managed one of the challenges so far. Oops!
Hopefully I will get some time before Wednesday to catch up.

This was for Rach's 80's Challenge.
You had to find a pic of your favourite 80's Pop Star and draw inspiration from the pic.
I had to choose Madonna. I had a lot of favourites from the 80's but I didn't know another teenage girl in the 80's that didn't want to be Madonna.....LOL


Here is the pic I used for my inspiration.
Madonna in her Material Girl persona......



And here is my take on the challenge.
