Sunday Stampers .... This Wheel's On Fire .... Inspired By

Hello everyone ... I'm back from my little jaunt down south where I met up with some of my lovely lovely arty friends. To say I was uber excited was an understatement .... however one of my very close arty friends was unable to make it due to health reasons, Nicky you were really MISSED .... sending you huge hugs xx
So why was I down south ... well the super talented Lin had managed to snap up THE Dina Wakely to do workshops at LB Crafts .... OMG no way was I missing out on that lol.

I had a FAB two days staying with my friend Hels , I got to play in the "Room Of Stash" .... meet Alfie (he is gorgeous btw and very clever too) and I also got to meet "Mr Grim" lol ... that name does not do him any justice lol , he is ever so lovely!

Anyways ... On Friday Hels and I set about on our way to LB to take a workshop with Dina ... WHOA this lady is seriously awesome btw, her enthusiasm, passion and way of teaching is like nothing I have ever seen before.

The class principals were all about the Colour Wheel ... now I had heard of this before, but never fully understood how to use it in my artwork ... it's all about the primary, secondary and complimentary colours ... ahh it all makes sense now!


So with the above in mind I thought I would choose this as this weeks Sunday Stampers theme ... how lucky am I getting to to choose the theme:) .... to narrow it down I have chosen Blue & Orange as the colours to include in your work.

Okay best be off it would seem the household chores got forgotten about whilst I was away .... grrr lol
