Key to happiness

 

 

 

 

The days are long

Today was one of those long days! ;-)

Sing it loud!

Not sure about this one yet.  I like how the bird turned out. I stamped it on tissue paper with Staz-On ink. It's a much richer image that I expected. 

I forgot to post this one. This was Tam's lesson in  Life Book a few weeks ago.

Rainy Saturday

A rainy day is perfect to spend in the craft room.
I finished the butterfly collage that I started yesterday. 

 

 

And then I just made this one this afternoon and then found out that Neil Armstong had died.  This is the first time I've tried this kind of lettering. I always like the ones I see on the different blogs.

Busy Week

It's been a busy week here. Kids started school on Wednesday. And today is my husband's birthday. I'm looking forward to lots of relaxing and arting next week!

A rare picture of both kids together. I made them pose so we can frame the pic and give it to their father for his birthday.

And this is my current MDS background. I'm finding that I like to keep the pages I journal on kind of plain.

Christy Tomlinson at scarletlime.com had an amazing sale this week! I signed up to take She Art 1 & 2. I took the first one already, but now I (might) know what I'm doing and I have a lot more supplies on hand. 

Yeay! 

Say something

I've had this song running through my head for a while. Glad I finally got to use it. But I should have listened to the song again before doing it. It should say "your" instead of "the". Oh, well :-/ But I do like how the flowers turned out.
The song is "Say Something" by James.

Be careful what you wish for

Well, I set out to do "grungy" LOL. This was definitely out of my comfort zone. I kept wanting to pretty it up. Lots of layers on it - not all of them done on purpose.

PS - Had some time to look at this and I have to say that I like it! This is something I would pin on Pinterest LOL. Note to self: Step outside your comfort zone! Every day! <3

 

 

Sunday is Swoon Day!

Sunday is Swoon Day cuz Effy says so!

Made this yesterday. Lots of layers, texture and pretty colors. I love how it turned out.

It's a wonderful world

This was inspired by something I saw Effy Wild do this week for Soulistry.

It looks better IRL. There are a lot of glittery sparkly stars that you can't see here.

Intuitive Painting

This is the first piece I made for 21 Secrets. Dina Wakley's Intuitive Painting Layers class was so much fun! I loved seeing the picture emerge from the doodles and turn into something.
