A sketch and showing off a freebie

Had one of those bizarro, twilight zone experiences (ok maybe not so spooky but enough to make me laugh) yesterday. Three days ago I had never heard of Em Stafrace until Lizzy mentioned that she had a cool freebie to give away. Saw it and fell in love. Then her name popped up again in an blog post at one of my fav designers, Sahlin studios. And I know, this was all mentioned in yesterdays post.

And who should drop by, via the so far completely unrelated site of Bird is the word but Em Stafrace herself. All serendipitous enough to make me sit down last night and today and play with her kit.

With a few bits from Sahlin Studio thrown in. man I love chevrons at the moment (yep I know, me and everyone else in the craft world!). Isn't the little boy image just wonderful, there is an equally splendiferous dog to go with him.

And then a more mixed Lo. using the July sketch from Get Creative

and some more wooden paper from Sahlin Studio-

Had lots of fun with this.

So go on over to Em's site, Just a Girl with ideas, and grab the freebie. You are going to see the chevron stamp alot in the future...

Oh and Lizzy, you were right about needing stitching or doodles on the lo, to be honest, I was going to do stitching on it but I was way too lazy to get the machine out and the LO suffered for it. Meaghan has stolen it now so it will remain unfinished...

And now just to keep Lizzy entertained on her train trips-
 My old fall back- a good knitted patten and a man with a moustache they go hand in hand -

wear more Robin Hood based vests I say!!

                                             

or for those health conscience men in your lives, an ideal Christmas pressie, start knitting - Now!! (although I am glad they showed the trunks version and not the briefs - too much exciement in one day is not good for you...)

                  

And this one just freaked me out a little - so I thought I should share it.... ahh 80's exercise fashion...

 Have a good one... xx
