Inky Halloween Paws

I almost forgot to do my blog post today. I would have broken my streak on day four. lol I played around this morning with the new (to me) Distress Resist spray and my distress inks. I used the colors from the current Newton's Nook Inky Paws challenge as my inspiration. I love this Halloween silhouette set of theirs and definitely don't use it nearly enough. I tried to make some dimension in my card and I hope it worked.

Now I'm off to bed. It's been a long day and I have to get up early tomorrow and try to get Laila to garden club on time. 

Inky Paws 64

Happy January 31st! Can you believe it? It seems like a long month, but at the same time, it seems like we just rung in the new year a day ago. I haven't felt much like creating, but I did make this simple card for the Newton's Nook Inky Paws challenge. The papers did most of the work for me. Always nice when you can use a mix of them for most of your project, right?

I just love Newton and this cute set of stamps. Coffee plus cats? Yes, please!  :)

Laila has had a great week so far at school. She's made all her points for the day each day and has been so proud of herself. I wasn't sure about the program after the first few days, but she's really flourishing now and I have hopes that what she's learning will help her when she transitions back to her regular classroom. Her teacher has been over several times to work with her. The counselor and vice principal have also been over. She missed the principal's visit on Friday because she was out sick. It's nice they are working to maintain the connection with her. 

I ended up at the doctor today after 5 days of a constant headache. Sinus infection. I'm crossing my fingers that the medicine she gave me works quickly. I've been in bed most of the week and I'm so behind on everything. I hate that!!  I'm off to drink more fluids and rest...again. lol I think that's all I've done for days.  

Enjoy the last day of the month!

I had a few more of this cute bird digital image from Newton's Nook printed out, so I decided to play along with the new Inky Paws challenge.  I did have to flip the sketch a bit, so I hope that was okay.  I REALLY hope to get some of their stamps for my birthday, but until then I can enjoy this cute bird.  :)  

I just love Jason for getting me Copic markers for Mother's Day.  I enjoy them so much.   I am still learning how to use them, but it's fun to play around with them.  Here I used Tangerine Tango and Bermuda Bay and tried to match up the markers with them.  

Someone is ready for basketball season.  :-)    My dad raised us to be big sports fans, so I hope Laila will love college basketball and NFL football as much as I do.   Right now she's all into the new cat piano we got at Target today with some of her birthday money.   lol    I was pretty happy with my pumpkin spice latte as well.   Yum!   Now if we can get the Fall weather to go along with it!
