Inkspirations Challenges #49 & #50!

Hey there peeps,

Don’t fall of your chair now! Yes I know it is very strange for me to be so MIA of late. But boy oh boy has my life been a whirlwind the past two weeks!!! Yikes even my head spins just thinking about it!

We have just spent two weeks back in Perth our old home town. We went for hubby’s brother’s wedding, another wedding of friends, and to catch up with family and friends. We had a wonderful yet extremely busy time. Unfortunately we were all struck with a re-occuring bout of Gastro! Real nasty bug, that just doesn’t want to go away. As one got better the next got it back again?? Anyway it certainly made for a challenging time for all of us. I have some lovely photos of our time away which I will post later today, also have another Copic marker tutorial to pop up for you too!

So here are my last two creations for the Inkpsirations Challenges. Thanks to Renee and Kirsty who covered for me, and made the challenges still run, you guys are true gems!!!

Here is the creations for the Sketch #49….a rather cute Mo Manning image which always makes me smile :)


Don’t you just feel sad for this wee puddy tat! too cute :)

Next is this weeks Colour Challenge #50….such a fun colour combo!

A cute lil Aviary card…love these little birdies!

So there you have my two creations up close. I had fun putting these together and hoping that as soon as my life is a little in order again I can get these fingers inky!

Have a great day my loyal peeps!

Love Keesh

Inkspirations Colour Challenge #48!

Hey everyone,

I hope you are well. I have had the hugest week this week. Whilst I wish I was pottering around and stamping, nothing could be further from the truth. My boys have been very sick this week, and then yesterday it was my little poppy Janaya’s 5th Birthday and Hubby’s tomorrow! Oh and then on Sunday night we fly off to Perth again so having to pack for us all, is keeping me on my toes.

So Friday again brings us to the Inkspirations Challenge. I hope you love the new DT members and the new blog. It sure keeps things simple ey?

So this week we have a colour challenge and here are your colours for you….

This is my creation for you all this week…

I wanted to create something that wasn’t a Christmas card, to show you that just because it is red and green doesn’t always mean Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, Christmas creations are gorgeous, I just wanted to be different.

So pop on over to the Inkspirations Challenges Blog, and check out all the other fabulous creations the DT have put together for you. I think you will be inspired!

Have a great weekend peeps!

Love Keesh

Inkspirations Sketch Challenge #47

Hey there people,

So you excited about the new challenge blog-o huh? We certainly are! Amongst all the excitement yesterday I forgot to blog my creation for the challenge this week. This running from one site to the other will take a little getting used to for especially seeing as they are different processing systems and I am not used to blogger. All good though and the DT are there to help me out too which is a blessing.

Thanks to everyone who has been giving me MOJO tips, I really appreciate it. I think my life has just been so crazy of late that when I sit to stamp I have so much buzzing around in that head that I can’t get those creative juices flowing and it becomes hard to create than enjoyable. Hopefully things will improve soon though, and I can chill out a little bit….not this week as I have Janaya’s and Rod’s birthday and to pack for 6 as we leave for Perth next weekend…..never a dull moment, never a dull moment :)

Okay so I will stop waffling, and show you my creation. You may have already seen it on the new blog-o but if not here it all is for you lovely people…

nice bright and pretty, and headed off to a special friend this week!

Please pop over to the new website and tell us what you think, and and don’t forget to welcome the new DT, they are FAB-U-LOUS!!!

Have a great weekend peeps!

Love Keesh
