Finally, the cool change arrived over night here, just in time for all our wonderful fire fighters that have been battling to keep control of these fires in these horrid conditions..however, it is only going to be short lived as by Friday again, we will be rising in temps...they are saying we are in for a record Summer...
Now, you may have noticed a little blog change, I have been trying to decide as to what I wish my blog to look like, so please bear with me until I get all the tweaks completed..
My crafty share with for you all was kind of fun to create..
I decided to colour an image in using my Copics to create a black and white image, just adding a touch of colour to complete the card...I loved using this technique and I think it gives a really unique look to an image...
Wednesday here on the blog means the start of a new challenge at Simon Says and this week will be a fun week..just click the blinkie below to view all my teamies cards and the deets of the challenge..
As always, the lovely and generous Heidi will give one lucky winner $50 to spend in store..
So that wraps up my posting for today...I will be fast asleep when you read this posting and will be hopefully having a good sleep with cooler conditions..
Have a fabulous day!
