Watercolors

Ok, we'll the other night I was playing around with my twinkling H2O's and came up with these:

The first looks like Medusa to me.  It didn't start out that way, but I think she's kind of cool.  The owl I have been thinking about for a while as I am following Julia Crane's blog....her acrylics are so whimsical and textured.

Off to the beach with the kids!

On vacation

Hello friends!  I'm on vacation right now, but taking some time to play a bit...mostly stamping.

See you soon!

Anajolia the mermaid is finally done!

Hello!!  This week I've been working a little bit most nights on he mermaid to get her done....and...drumroll ......I'm finally pleased with the results!  Here she is:

She was created from sheet metal, caulking, acrylic paint and lots of Viva Decor products!!  You will see Viva Inka Golds in her hair and eyes, over the caulking.  I think they covered very well.

The top was created with Inka Gold and Viva Stone Art over a Ranger stencil.  The tail was painted and then I used Viva Croco in blackberry...check it out!!!

 I'm already planning my next mermaid project, having learned so much from this one.  I hope you like her!!

French Country

Don't you just love when things just fall together.  I had bought this 8x8 shadow box and a couple 12x12 boxes and have had no idea what to do with them.  Then I was browsing around on blogs last night and saw this great idea....just can't remember where...sorry!  I think it was butterfly kisses blog...?  Anyway, here it is!  Love it!!!  I think little baby will be making home in my kitchen.

And..the mermaid?  Well she's still hanging out on my screen porch, just waiting patiently for some attention.  My 6 year old named her today, Anajolia.  Hmmm, I like it!

Have a great weekend!

Cherries everywhere!!!

What a weekend, crazy weather with the flooding and winds.  Then, just good old muggy heat!!  We decided to pickup Cheyanne and go cherry picking the other day.  Anyone know some good cherry recipes!  We've been eating them like crazy; natural, then in jam and now cherry muffins.....cherries coming out everywhere !!!

Both Kate and Jessa got haircuts too, and a pretty fancy Do!

Today I may be able to work on a project or two.....really just trying to finish some older projects.

I found some Graphic45 paper over at Tuesday Morning and need to start a couple of projects with those too!!  Maybe a baby book or two...

Mixed media canvas using G45 French Country

I was inspired by Jamie from Prima marketing - love how this turned out.  I used paint, stamps, paper and lots of ink on this one.

I think this one will go in my kitchen .

Weekend creativity with. Grapic45

I met with a friend in Albany last week and we spent some time shopping and creating.  I had previously won some Graphic45 Secret Garden paper and used this time to create some spring albums.  The first album is a Kaisercraft album that I've had in my stash for a long time.  I played around with some crackle technique and metallic paint and patina...this paper is Fab!!

The second album is from Maya road; thought this little garden gate would again be perfect for a spring album....I'm thinking of putting pictures of the flowers from my garden on this one...like??

I'm actually working on a third album...yes, I know...but I'm not sick of the paper and I still have more to use!
