Laugh Out Loud

Goodness - this could be me..... or a couple of my friends.  I love the stamp image of "Laugh Out Loud" and what better reason to laugh at oneself then to have shoes not matching, etc., etc.

Double Entendre

I wonder if this is part of a country song....
In any case, I thought it made a great page with the burlap background in Dina Wakeley's mixed media journal.


Finding Perfect Friends

Oprah has said so many truthful statements and below is one of them.  I know we all have had fair weather friends but I have to say that now I truly have friends I can count on.  All the fair weather peeps have moved on and out of my life..... they are probably in someone else's limo!

Finding Yourself

Gosh, I just love this quote.  And what better place is the middle of nowhere but an ocean?!  The surface is a canvas page from Dina Wakeley's mix media journal.  Gesso was part of the preparation before applying a paint wash.  I applied Distress Inks to enhance areas of the page.  I used most of Catherine Moore's stamp images with a few others thrown in the mix.

Blinded by the Light

What began as a very ugly page turned out to be one of my favs.  I tried a new painting technique that will need more practice.  After much frustration, I decided to paint the entire page black and start over.  Then just before the paint dried, I used a stencil and removed the paint with a baby wipe.  It was an aha moment. The circles were made using a white gel pen after the paint was dried. It was the final touch for the background.  Super happy about this page.
