Vrapčići

Hi!

Here's something I've been working on....I was asked to make a sign to put on the door for my son Jakov's daycare group. Each group has a 'name'...Jakov's group is called the Vrapčići - Sparrows...and their room is #8 (the reason for all the SRM 8 stickers)....

It's a bit wonky...the paper that is....because I brushed over it with some mod podge and hadn't dried 100% when I took the picture..

Have a great day!!

Oh...and there's a Party Time stamp set giveaway HERE...so go and leave a comment! :)

Cosmo Cricket LOVE

Hi!

What a lucky girl I am to be able to play Cosmo Cricket GOODNESS!!!! Cosmo Cricket is one of my favourite companies.....I especially love that they have their yummy 6x6 paper pads.

Here are a few projects I created with SRM stickers and Cosmo Cricket! :)

Here's my Mia...isn't she SWEET! :)

She reminds me of Kermit the Frog for some reason!! LOL

And here's a layout of my youngest having the time of his life!!! He LOVES LOVES the water!

Here's another one of Mia...not bragging or anything but isn't she the CUTEST!!! :) 

If you ever need a birthday card in a flash...these stacked presents from my Party Time stamp set is the perfect stamp....btw there's a Party Time giveaway here!

I also made this little origami box....it makes a cute little gift box.

I made this tag to use on a SRM tube for a friend who started work again (after being on maternity leave). I put a lipgloss in it.

Last but not least....Mr. Smiles!!! I love him! I wanted to add a lot of googly eyes so before I inked him up I put scotch tape over his eyes, inked him up, took the tape off and stamped him on cardstock.

I stamped him on pink CC pattern paper and just added some depth with a slightly darker pink copic marker. A little glossy accents, I used a white gel pen to colour in his teeth...some glitter and voila....a pretty darn handsome Mr. Smiles! :)

Pop on over to the SRM blog for a chance to win an awesome giveaway!!!

Have a great day!

we love our fire fighters!!

Hi!

I totally forgot about this card.....before summer holidays started my youngest son's group at daycare went on a trip to a REAL Fire Station with REAL Firefighters (one of the dad's in his group is a Fireman and organized the whole thing for free...I'm talking that they got to ride behind real fire trucks with flashing lights and sirens..the works!!! It was BRILLIANT!)....so the whole group got together to get him a gift basket and I was asked to make a card......

Appropriate don't ya think?!

I'm really trying to find a balance with my 'stay at home mom' responsibilities and my Jane's Doodles work. I'm realizing that some things have got to give...and so that is why I'm not blogging here as much or around blog land either. I'm busy drawing up new stamp sets....a lot I still can't share...but can hardly wait!! And I want to play with my kids...time is flying and they're growing up so fast! Mind you....you don't need to have children as a reason to play............

we grow old because we stop playing.'

I really hope you all find some time to play today!! See you soon with some new projects...and a new stamp release! :)

Cards Magazine - October pubs

Hi!

Popped in to share my card that was published in the October issue of Cards. In the magazine they flipped the card and I have to say it looks even better! LOL

Loads of details and layers...I made the flower myself. Sentiment is a SRM sticker.

I'm working on so many things and can't wait to share....hope you all are doing well!

Have a great day!!

Sigma Cleansing & Polishing Tool

I have come to learn about Sigma a few months ago and after reading loads of great reviews I decided to try it out. You can pop on over to the Sigma website to check out their brushes and make up.

I promised to do a review on Sigma's Cleansing & Polishing Tool so here it is! :)

Firstly the price is $39 which is a bargain! International shipping NOT a problem. My package arrived within 10 days or so.

This is what the Sigma Cleansing & Polishing Tool looks like....

Absolutley ADORABLE!! :) The case is a sturdy plastic and CUTE! It comes with 3 brush heads.

I am thrilled with it...I use it once a week (on my face) more on my body. I can't compare it to the Clarisonic or Olay because I have never tried them out. But Sigma is the cheapest of the 3 and my skin feels amazing and polished after use. I think I should mention that I have sensitive (just a little sensitvity in the cheek area) combination skin and once a week use on my face is perfect for me.

So instead of me rambling on about how it work...check out the video...

I have a list of Sigma brushes I want to get my hands on!! Did I mention that you get a free gift when you spend over $30.

Have a great day!

I saw this poster on Carly's blog and I too had to share!!!

How many times do I become overwhelmed with trying to balance my full time Mommy/Wife work and Jane's Doodles...I feel like giving up...A LOT! I have no babysitter/help...my kids are done school at 11:30am...which doesn't leave a lot of time for drawing. But then there are little signs that pop up exactly when I need them...like this BRILLIANT poster (speach by Steve Jobs).

Life IS too short and I'm so blessed to be given the opportunity to do what I LOVE...and that's to doodle! :) I appreciate all the support shown....encouraging words, AMAZING Guest Designers who join us for our releases, our customers...I'm so grateful! I can't give up!

Just a note- a new stamp release coming soon....'it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas'...
