This week, Jen's Sketch For You To Try was another great challenge and I thought the size of my cute House Mouse image from Susie would be perfect...
Turns out, I think I was right =)
Stamps: House Mouse
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Whisper White
Accessories: Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, Riding Hood Red Striped Ribbon, White Ribbon, Scallop Punch, White Signo Gel Pen, Sakura Gel Pen And, as it turns out I might have something in common with a rodent afterall. Although I much prefer my martinis olive-less and more of a candy flavor - like the resident martini in our house - a chocolate martini. A little creme de cacao, a little grey goose and you can call me Al!
Why is it that when I'm looking for a name, that one always pops into my head, along with the song? Oh Paul Simon, I love you. And your fun songs. And drinking chocolate martinis while I dance to your songs.
*If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al*
Try to tell me you're not singing....
well this will get you going =)
I thought it only fitting to post Weekend Sketch Challenge #92 the day after I posted #91! Sharon at PaperFections is hosting this week. I was looking forward to coloring one of my new images from Susie and I have the Nestabilities that correspond to that shape (since I'm a bit of a rule follower). Check out the other gorgeous creations in the SCS Gallery!
*Please do not try this at home - do not take photos early in the morning when you're in a rush and the darn tree's giving you crazy shadows. Excuse the photography!*

Techniques: Gamsol MagicMy rule following is a bit of an issue for MrP, who mostly finds it annoying. I prefer to walk on sidewalks and bike on groomed city trails, as opposed to the 'off-road' trails. Why?! Because they're put there for a reason. LOL! He's all about cross country. In our case, opposites don't attract, though. Mostly, it ends badly with me getting grumpy after he makes fun of me. Oh the joys of marriage =)Today I've got great things planned after my Reformer Pilates class - St. Albert Farmer's Market with my fave SU! demonstrator, visit with friends who just had a baby boy before we headed to Kelowna and finally, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - IN 3D BABY! Yeah - I'm a little excited...even if it's only the first 10 minutes in 3D.
