All good news + New Song Bird Scraps Challenge

My sweet friends, first of all I would like to thank all of you who left those wonderful comments for my daughter Christina. She too says "thanks"! She was sooo excited and proud when she read the things you wrote to her, and she can't wait to start on her next LO! The people over at Aussie Scrap Jack have generously said they would send her a little something ... you should have seen her little face when I told her about that!

Other good news, I won my sweet friend Julie's RAK give-away ... lots of yummy stuff AND some handmade cards, original Julie's haha, superexcited about that!!!!! I so want to see some of her work IRL, you know, I'm sure it will even look better than on pics.

I also won a doorprize (you know, a prize you win just by commenting) over at OLW when they were celebrating their 2nd anniversary! Pretty excited about that too.

And this news I'm most excited about, because for the very first time I won a prize with one of my LO's!!!! This is the one (haha, just had to post this one one more time):

I entered this LO for the "painting using stamps as a guide" technique challenge over at "The Next Step" and I won ... well not exactly for using their technique ... since I don't own any stamps that could be used for this challenge, I drew ... but well, they said because they thought my entry was ... wow! Isn't that the best reaction ever haha!!!! They actually gave away four prizes, so you might want to participate in their next challenge as well!!!!! Go and check it out.

I also found some tutorials I would like to share ... as soon as I figure out how to put them on my blog :-( Technology is a wonderful thing, if you know how to use it!!!! So, if anyone knows how to do this, let me know, I could use the help.

The June Challenge over at Song Bird Scraps is up! Take a look and see if this month's lyrics can inspire you ...

Lullaby - Matt Costa

Don't you cry, no don't you cry

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Cause when I arrive dear it won't be that long

No it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone

It ain't the first time it won't be the last

Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?

So when you're so lonely lying in bed

Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head

Everyone's sleeping all through the house

You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow

Sing this lullaby to yourself

Sing this lullaby to yourself

When You Dream - Barenaked Ladies

With life just begun, my sleeping new son

Has eyes that roll back in his head

They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart

And pictures a world past his bed

Its hard to believe

As I watch you breathe

Your mind drifts and weaves

When you dream, What do you dream about?

When you dream, What do you dream about?

Do you dream about Music or mathematics

Or planets too far for the eye?

Do you dream about Jesus or quantum mechanics

Or angels who sing lullabies?

I was inspired by "my sleeping new son" in the second lyrics, and this is my DT example, I hope it will inspire you to give this challenge a try:

I always loved seeing my babies asleep with their daddy like that.
This wasn't an easy pic to scrap ... I wanted a soft look but I also wanted bold colours. Like I said before, I find it much easier to scrap without a definite look in my head. Anyway, I like the result, especially that hobby rope I stitched on to create a frame is really pretty IRL.

Does it show I have become addicted to paint on my LO's??? It's such an easy solution when the look of the LO isn't quite right yet.

Talk to you later!
Love you mwa mwa xxxx Peggy
