June bug, June bug and a little July bug

Hey ... my internet is working!!! and has been working for a couple of days now! which is really cool, 'cept when the guy came out to "fix" it today (the date was scheduled last week) there was nothing to fix ... so, it seems to have fixed itself ... personally i think it was little computer faeries, dressed in beautiful little lace dresses, sparkling with dew drops kissed by the dawn's first golden raes, and carrying wands made from delicate slivers of pink crystals and of course having blue led coloured wings ... they must have chased away the computer gremlins in the middle of the night ... right???

So anyways ... June Bug! the newBasic Grey line is to die for!!! you have to check out the "paper doilies" all four of them ... these are a gotta have ... and the woolies, and the journaling cards ... sheesh be still my beating heart. This line is oh so colourful and you all know I don't do colourful ... so I am playing and having fun with this. I did two layouts with this line and plan to do a lot more. The first one is of my Dad ... who couldn't help but be distracted by a wind blown background ... and the second one is of my own Divine Miss H ... i only used the colours that were present in the photo ... the background is painted with Distress ink ... yes you can paint with distress ink, just add a little gel medium to the ink, mix it all up and then paint away ... for this lo i just wanted the feel of a windswept yellow sky ... i used the new Golden Medium with Glass beads in it so you see random little beads here, there and everywhere ...

And the July Bug???? a red dragonfly that landed on Izzy's car antenna outside of Pick of the Patch. I have never seen a red dragonfly before ... tres cool, dontcha think???
