is kind of how it is in both real and crafty life. Signing in at
WOYWW to gently flaunt my oh so messy stuff. Yesterday, after a mad week of a teething toddler, I announced my retreat to the inky zone and so it was up to baby to walk the hubby. The kiddo has found her feet and is already in training for a marathon. I need eyes in the back of my everything...
As you can see I am a scrupulously neat crafter, I always clean up and put away my stash. Well once a leap year then.
I dived into a trio of tags inspired by a
Wendy Vecchi post about using up your left overs. Seeing as that is all that is ever on my desk, it should be a doddle...
Gone are my former days of timeless inky dabblings, so I dived in and decided to just
go for it.
Wonky stamping, splodges of paint, blobs of frisky glue...
just embrace it girl. I even stayed in my PJs to win more time!
There's a great "Carnival" theme over at
Simon Says Stamp (sigh, my old DT) so I decided a blast of full blown colour was just fine. Do all these colours go together?I dunno. In my Carnival imagination I see a hundred Brazilian Samba dancers jiggling their be-sequinned derrières and feathers. It's all voluptuous, glitter and neon catsuits...
Hmmm. Not the best pics of the colours... The sun was fading fast and Ruby was eating the fuchsias. Anyway, as said, I'm taking it as it comes today which is better than not getting it at all.
Thank you so much to all who called by last week and the lovely comments. I'm hoping to squeeze in a some blog hopping if I can blackmail the baby, oops toddler, into giving me the i-pad.
Farewell for now,
Sarah.

Love them! The colours are so vibrant and the flowers really cool.
Hi Sarah, and cuddles to Ruby. Hope Gersom enjoyed his walk lol. So lovely to see you getting inky and even more thrilled to see you joining in the challenge, we have missed you and your style. Lovely to know you craft in your PJ's , that's the only way I craft and I don't have any little ones running around lol. Love the vibrancy of your trio and the flowers are stunning, love the freedom of these pieces and the background and colours are delightful . Thanks so much for joining in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, we are thrilled to welcome you back if it is only for a week! Take Care . Tracy x x
Hi Sarah, oh yes, those colours do go together and I'm getting that carnival feel too. Love the flowers, especially the shiny spotty centre and nut centre ... Brazil nut :)) Don't worry about clearing up, you'll have plenty of time for that when Ruby reaches school age :) Hope you have a good week. Elizabeth x #47

LOVE these tags! It's nice to see the Wendy's stamps, stencils, etc, used with such happy colors. Great variation on her tag. I vaguely remember those busy, busy toddlers. Lol
I LOVE all the colors in your tags. I can see the dancers now too. Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier.

Fabulous tags Sarah.
Love al the details and colors.
Greetings Janny
Oh Sarah, I can identify with your work space. That is how mine looks most of the time. Good for you for finding some survival time for yourself in your craft room. It keeps me from having to visit a therapist, and I am not dealing with child rearing anymore. Bless your heart, and find your time to retreat when you need to. Moms certainly deserve it.
Sarah i am so happy you came back to play with us! These are beautiful! Love the beautiful colors and the bright happy layers of paint! Wonderful tags! So glad you joined in the fun again with us this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
Ooooh, I love the flowers and color pop! Gorgeous tags, girl.
Kate
