word document and started to play <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">First I started with a frame then I picked the colour,
took a while, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Then the image didn't look right black & white so I
went and changed the colour of the image, that also took a while, but I was
having fun there is so much you can do on a computer. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">So in the end I went for the blue image, I cut two of
them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Next was did I want to colour it with copics or pencils,
the reason I cut two<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I didn't like either of them so decided to have it
uncoloured<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I embossed white card with the script folder and had some a 12x12 size card pad that was already embossed, I did rescore it with a stylus and my score
pal just to make it stand out a bit more</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">My sentiment did not turn out how I wanted I tried to
heat emboss it using white powder didn't turn out that well so in
the end I used a blue distress ink then after stamping it the first time I moved it
slightly inked again then inked in the same spot with a gold sparkle ink can't
see it too good but I was pleased how it
turned out<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">I did put a piece of string around the card and tied a bow but it looked out of place so that went</p>

younger grandsons on a rock hunt, they were told they had to bring a water
bottle sun hat and a back pack that they could carry it back to the card
themselves, one got inventive and made
two trips to the car, so the other two followed his lead we loaded up the card with kids gear and food and went to
the Pareora river bed which is about 30 minutes south of Temuka while driving when we went past a paddock of sheep we said what funny looking cows they were, cows were sheep pigs in their sty's were chickens horses were reindeer so we had three in the back telling us what they really were, shaking their heads thinking we were nuts one asked don't you know what they are. By this time we were at the river.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCzhIVSqs9I-WmmiowB4u4dPLxc3DBES1c26dl2GIW-FQ1CzOqug_7taE-Ot3_Dd5sAbEr2thKjj9_dCuN-rhmvQ-bNGsF68Wwy2zepwzCfveGfemlq4BwXKSL6cjh0scNehhrrcescvkArlpbAsJYChvaoAAh9nzo13wyWW4fUC1IMFtGLobySnCyWA/s640/rock%201.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCzhIVSqs9I-WmmiowB4u4dPLxc3DBES1c26dl2GIW-FQ1CzOqug_7taE-Ot3_Dd5sAbEr2thKjj9_dCuN-rhmvQ-bNGsF68Wwy2zepwzCfveGfemlq4BwXKSL6cjh0scNehhrrcescvkArlpbAsJYChvaoAAh9nzo13wyWW4fUC1IMFtGLobySnCyWA/s320/rock%201.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiM7uFog7Pibd4k-TDsbximWZdVlvcQT0P2-6EgobI-esLWaTPQwzaJt4htR7vytDulsotNstYGlzcU0X-PJ8-R7xS_ArPHhRrYlBxfkcRgl5m9AsQH2ZaPRMlWbzNYrAGSIQsvoYXKBBDBvqDDGbpTeh8aWAZyam3_5Cwk-m6GiPGXVNYG8_GnD6YAQ/s640/rock%202.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiM7uFog7Pibd4k-TDsbximWZdVlvcQT0P2-6EgobI-esLWaTPQwzaJt4htR7vytDulsotNstYGlzcU0X-PJ8-R7xS_ArPHhRrYlBxfkcRgl5m9AsQH2ZaPRMlWbzNYrAGSIQsvoYXKBBDBvqDDGbpTeh8aWAZyam3_5Cwk-m6GiPGXVNYG8_GnD6YAQ/s320/rock%202.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5kKquRyrLhvaZCRmqJfaZ3yCs7BwDxln1VrO4RTvc9gN0tGN-swwjaBPXr440AdqbiDxJnUyOhuknTu8hiAx5Aua4dRI7WqGUb9akmXyMaPhWU6GE89X1dvMMS50dN5Z8mk5G-lrX6L7-jjH7R-hNQrULj_nQCHZGJV7xvw2fzetcqHu50kfBZcGryw/s550/rock%203.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="550" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5kKquRyrLhvaZCRmqJfaZ3yCs7BwDxln1VrO4RTvc9gN0tGN-swwjaBPXr440AdqbiDxJnUyOhuknTu8hiAx5Aua4dRI7WqGUb9akmXyMaPhWU6GE89X1dvMMS50dN5Z8mk5G-lrX6L7-jjH7R-hNQrULj_nQCHZGJV7xvw2fzetcqHu50kfBZcGryw/s320/rock%203.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal">Imagine the boys delight and excitement when Pop took them to
these rocks, they couldn't believe what they were seeing one thought they were
from the dinosaur era, so it was up to pop to explain it all. One rock was not
as old it had the conch shells and the rock was a bit green, I told the boy it
wasn't a fossil must be sheep's toe nails so that is what it got named. They
all had a full back pack and some loose ones in the back of the car one of the
boys made his own rock garden with them and it looks good the other two didn't
hear much about what the parents thought, but we had a lot of fun and a bit of a picnic</p><p class="MsoNormal">Just goes to show you don't always have to spend money to have a good time. The boys have already asked when we are going back</p><p class="MsoNormal">These rocks pictured are my rocks we
