Its a natural disaster here in Queensland

HI THERE... THOUGHT I WOULD TOUCH BASE TO SAY WE ARE PRETTY WET HERE IN QUEENSLAND.  ALTHOUGH NOT FLOODED, WE EXPERIENCED STRONG WINDS THAT SNAPPED OUR BACK FENCE IN TWO, AND LEFT US WITHOUT POWER FOR TWO DAYS.

SO I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING AROUND LATELY- SO MUCH IS GOING ON, I HOPE TO GET THINGS BACK TO NORMAL SHORTLY.

LUCKILY ENOUGH, WE ONLY LOST ALL OUR PERISHABLE FOOD, UNLIKE MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE LOST EVERYTHING - SOME FOR A SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS.

MOTHER NATURE HAS BEEN RATHER CRUEL LATELY, HOPEFULLY LIFE FOR THOSE LESS FORTUNATE THAN US CAN BE RESTORED TO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE 2011 AND NOW 2013.

THANKS FOR THE UNDERSTANDING.

PLEASE STAY SAFE... THE STORM IS HEADING SOUTH INTO SYDNEY NOW, SO IF YOU ARE AFFECTED BY FLOODS, STAY INSIDE, DONT GO SIGHT SEEING- ITS TOO DANGEROUS!!!

HUGS TANIA

Saturated Canary Princess Zella

Hello. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. I must apologise for not posting much lately, with Xmas and work, school holidays, time just gets away! And then Mozilla decided to play up so I had to download Google chrome so I could sign in! but I have managed a couple of cards today. I  went shopping at Saturated canary a couple of weeks ago, but have only just managed to colour up some of the lovelies today.  I hope to get them all coloured and up on my blog over the next week before I head back to work boohoo :-(

To start with, I have coloured the lovely Princess Zella with my copics.  I went for blues and aquas this time and had the perfect co-ordinating paper for both the colours and the image.  The DP is from "My Memories" and only have numbers- 154987 and 154982.  the first one has rain drops, which went perfectly with the drop of paint from Zellas paintbrush :-) 

I FINALLY recieved my magnolia swirl die after ordering it in November (9 weeks- record!!) so I have used it here and a Cheery Lynn butterfly die, the small butterflies are the off cuts from a Martha Stewart pop up butterfly edger.  I have used Divine Twine (new to my stash!) and I made the dangle charm. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Plus the usual splish splash of stickles, dimensional magic and rhinestones :-) 

I would like to enter in the following challenges:

Sparkles Monthly challenge: anything goes

Wild Orchid Challenge: anything goes 

Simon Says Stamp Challenge: something new (new image, magnolia die, and twine)

These are the colours I have used:
