This Wood Block Stamp Turning Over A New Leaf (HMKR1045)

I used this super cute 'The Thinker' image and coordinating sentiment stamp. These were the Stamps of the Month for the May 2013 release :-)

The watering can charm was a lovely gift from America,, THANKS :-) xx

I love this new Simon's Exclusive Sunshine die,,, I have been using it ALOT and together with the Lindy's Gang Blazing Sun Glimmer Spray it's a perfect combination ! :-)

A little mouse had a lucky escape this morning, I went out into my yard and noticed something scurrying and being chased by 3 of my 9 cats, it was only a little baby,, soooo cute. I grabbed my broom and scooper, and managed to catch the poor little thing and set him free in the fields before the cats hurt him. He seemed to be unharmed thank goodness :-)

Hi all :-) When I saw that the Less Is More Challenge this week is asking for Hexagons, and the Sketch Saturday Sketch is using a Hexagon design for it's layout I just had to join in and combine the 2 :-)

I love this new Simon's Exclusive Full Card Hexagon die and I have been using it ALOT, the bee image from the Circle Friends Set and the 'Be' sentiment all go together perfectly I think, I die cut the 'Be' twice to have an extra 'e' :-)

I inked up some Watercolor paper with Wild Honey Distress Ink and then smeared Distress Rock Candy Stickles all over it, I think the honeycombs look real ! :-)

Thanks for looking, I appreciate your comments so please leave me one so I know you popped by :-)
