This is my DT submission for arTastic Challenge Blog for August.This month
Becci Sunberg from Lime Tree Creations gave us some gorgeous products to work with, those doilies are made so beautifully, you just have to pop over and check this lady's amazing products. Criteria for August is 1 ribbon - I used the gorgeous product from Lime Tree Creations. 2nd criteria - a child playing - Well this is playing to my little man - I have to add that the Whipper Snipper or SHIMP SHIMP as he calls it was not plugged in. 3rd criteria was to put paint on your background, I love the colour blue and used it on my Kaiser grid stamp.
Mum and dad recently came back from Cape York for a holiday and she bought Nate lots of goodies, but in the packet was a little tiny crocodile figurine but mum said to him "careful he bites" and this is Nate pensively openning the bag and he just laughed when he openned it.
I am getting much better at the time management thing and looking forward to spending time catching up with you all, your work so inspires me. Thanks for your friendship. Melxx

Hey there, Mel, sure hope you're feeling better!? Love this LO, of course, I really like what you did with the paint and all the embellishments - are they hand-cut? Our summer has been pretty lousy, tons of rain, which translates to lots of mossies, but today is looking promising, and yesterday was pretty decent too. Anyway, I'll definitely be checking out the ARTastic challenge, I've really been enjoying them! Glad to hear you've been getting your schedule figured out, and don't worry about the PJs, I'm in mine and it's 10:30, no plans to change any time soon, haha! Love and hugs, Roxy.
