Hello Everyone!
Well yesterday morning I was in a lot of pain when I got up. I imagine that was because I had not moved all night. I slowly got moving and the more I moved the better it got. I tried to move every so often during the day so I would not tense up again. I did notice if I sat too long I was stiff. I also had to adjust how I bent down to pick up things. I have not picked up Remi at all which is a bummer. I did hold her while Jess took Zoie to school and then went back to pick her up so I got some baby time.
Wednesday’s are our Coloring Down the Lines blog hop. This week our colors were chosen by Helen.

I am enjoying the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. It is fun to try some new ideas and revist some old favorites.
So before the coloring challenge began I made a list of different types of coloring I could do. One of the ideas I listed was blowing through a straw. I was not sure what paper to use so I went looking for a tutorial. I found one but the lady used alcohol inks and a window sheet. Her finished product was beautiful. I decided to use our colors today and try it out. I did find that because our inks are water based they did not dry as well. I used my heat tool several times as well as blotted the pools of ink with paper towels. When I had most of the ink pools blotted up I decided to see if I could seal it. I used a matte sealer but it still did not take care of the ink smearing. Here is my version of Blown Ink.
To make my card, I cut the window sheet down to the size of my card. I then flipped the window sheet over and attached it to my card with glue so at least the ink would not come off on your hands. I then stamped it with Staz-on ink and added some punched flowers. The flowers need something to I add a rhinestone in the middle of each of them. Here is my Blown Ink creation.

Are you ready to see what the other ladies did? Head on over to Amanda’s blog – Our Crafty Playdate to continue on the hop!
Tonight I am the guest speaker on our SUDSOL chat. Several of the ladies have asked about Instagram and I attended a session last year at Convention. I have been using Instagram for my cards also so I am going to help them set up an account and post their cards. Wish me luck!
Thanks for visiting me today. I have another appointment with the chiropractor this morning. I am hoping I will be less sore tomorrow morning than I was this morning. Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
