I started out the year so strong and now look at me...the month is not even up and I am terribly late today with a post. lol Blame it on my crazy weekend. The boy was home from college so we spent lots of time hanging out, being a family...and we went to Cirque de Soleil. I know...excuses. lol
You may notice that I am working on a new blog design. So hard...and all I do is tell my good friend Heather what to do...the poor thing just has to listen to me whine and complain about what I want it to look like. Thank goodness she is such a good friend to get this done for me. Big hugs and shout out!!!!
Today I have just a quick share. I finally broke down and purchased a Gelli Plate. After watching so many others use it, especially on the CJS videos (you still have time to sign up...) I had to try one for myself. So much fun. I used a big foam stamp from Donna Downey and the bottom of my paint bottle to make the design. Loves!!!!! Of course didn't know what to do with it once I made it...but I made it, lol, and that is what counts.
I really like the background before I added the photo...but I do love my shoes. roflmao I think I may move some stuff around and see if I like it better. sigh I used some gorgeous Liquitex acrylic paints for the color, and of course, the bottom of my bottle of Liquitex gesso created the circles. lol
OK, well...it is the middle of the day, so I really should be getting something productive done.
Hugs.

A Little Mixed Media
Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share with you a page from my art journal. Ainsley and I are working on the Internationally Inspired class offered by Donna Downey and although we are moving pretty slowly...we are moving. lol
This page was done quite a bit differently from the one Donna did in her section. I don't have layers of Pan Pastels to play with (maybe I need to remedy this?) and I didn't have the stamp. But...I do have mad gelatto skills and acrylic paints. hee hee I also added a few extras to this page with bits of gesso and stamping....Love the added texture.
I really like doing these pages...wish I had more time. They don't require photos, or journaling...just lots of good, messy play.
And on that note...
Hugs.
