DOING LIFE

POSITIVE LIFE ...
{DT Project Tammy's Scrapin Corner: Challenge #67}

This week our theme for Challenge #67 at Tammy's Scrapin Corner  is ANYTHING WITH WINGS.  I used this beautiful digi called Gladiola Hummer from Eureka Stamps.  You can purchase it here. The sentiment was designed by the super talented Lisa {Decosse Dynamite}.  

Another Centre Step Design.  The design papers are from Bo Bunny and BasidGrey.  I printed the image on white cardstock and a second time on BasicGrey Design Paper.  I coloured the flowers and the bird on the white cardstock with Copics and then only cropped the bird and the flowers.  I popped the bird and flowers with foam tape and then mounted them onto the image which was printed on the design paper.  Then I coloured the leaves with Copics on the design paper itself. The sentiment was chalked with dry chalks.  The black jewel stones are from Blueberry Berry.

Hope you will play along this week - so come on link your Anything with Wings creations to Tammy's Scrapin Corner's Challenge No.67. Can't wait to see what you create.

My darling husband completed another ultra marathon on Sunday, 2 June 2013, namely the Comrades Marathon.  It was an up run of 87km from Durban to Pietermaritzburg, here in South Africa.  I am so proud of him finishing in 10 hours 50 minutes, making the cut off time with 1 hour 10 minutes.  Lots of time to spare lol, as if nearly 11 hours running on a tar road in scorching temperatures of up to 34oC and a head on berg wind for most of the distance, is not enough to test the endurance.  Here are some pics of him on the road:

...  an exhausted, but very happy and emotional finisher - in his own words 'the most difficult thing I have done in my life'
