ART IN MY FAVORITE COLORS RIGHT NOW!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!  Here is my new FAVORITE COLOR COMBO right now, it's making me VERY HAPPY!!  I just sat and played for an hour and made a variety of pages and love them all. No plans/ideas just FREE PLAY and NO OVERTHINKING!! So much fun that way!!

So on this page I covered it in blue then the pink, added some book pages with gesso and tore them off which left this rough texture to it, was trying to get the words to stick but this is good too. The next step was watercolor circles here and there and then sharpies and gel pens. Really wanted words on here without writing them all so dug out some old rub-ons and love the look. Of course the tape was calling me by then so I just put it wherever and said STOP, ITS DONE!!! Now for close-ups..

oh I forgot to add the panchella I used to scatter dots around, see the pink ones,HAPPY!

Need to do this again only BIGGER!!! POSTERBOARD SIZE!!

This was the second page, SOOO PRETTY and different from

the first page. I added purple to the combo and like it.

First thing was to use my multi-circle stencil and

spray blue and purple on it, mostly blue the purple was about out.

Next I used watercolors in the same colors as above and just painted around wherever

I wanted to. Then added some splashes of dots around and panchella again. I used two tags and

cut some butterflies out of paint chips and added them. Found some blue squishy dots that seemed

right for the page and little bit of paper tape. LOVE THIS PAGE ALSO! 40mts for both of these

I was on a roll, THIS NEVER HAPPENS, haha just played with NO OVERTHINKING!!

love the butterflies and dots, HAPPY HAPPY COLORS!!

here's a peek at page 3.... I painted over a doiley and it made this design

not sure what to do with it. Will come back later and figure it out.

this was the last page and it went totally different then planned. The pink paint came out in swirls?? and the blues all came out in blotches so I smooshed the two pages together and GOT THIS BEAUTY!!  This is almost what I want to do on a posterboard, JUST POUR PAINT AND LET IT RUN EVERY WHERE!!!  Can't cover this one up, love to look at it. Will let you know if I add to it.

 

So that's my art from last week, hope you enjoy it. Take care and enjoy the weekend.

THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THE SWEET COMMENTS IN THE LAST POST, RICH SAYS THANK YOU ALSO, HE'S SO HAPPY WITH HIMSELF AND HIS HARVEST. HUGS!!!

PROJECT LIFE AND MORE!!!

Hello Project Life, again it's been a quick and busy week. I did good just to get the pictures in the pages and take these pictures of them, lol.... sadly my order was wrong again, Walgreens has a new ordering page which is making some of my photos not order. For this week I added an old page protector from Archivers, it has six 4x6 pockets, LOVE THIS!! On this first page it's all about the surprise last minute day trip Rich and the kids went on. They went to Waldameere Park and had a BLAST, EVEN RODE THEIR FIRST ROLLER COASTER, YIPPPEEE!! Thankfully Rich didn't mind taking the camera and getting some shots for me. I plan on writing on the white empty spaces you see, just too tired to do it now. Now for some close-ups....

Here's the left side, lots of fun pictures of the girls and their reactions to the rides. LOVE LOVE THIS!! Not sure why but Rich didn't get to many of Sam.

Here's the front side of the extra insert. These were the slides they love going down. The middle one on the left side is Sam in the hot tub there, some little girl came over and made some moves on him they all said. I can't believe that, so glad Rich got this picture to go with the story. The bottom two are from the roller coaster they rode, LOVE THIS!!

This is the back side of the insert and the right side of the week. Really love this extra insert!

Here is the last day of going to the park all togehter before school starts. I LOVE THESE!! The photos that are missing were from this day. I took some cute ones of Colt and of them on the merry go round. We had so much fun and these little cuties with my big cuties just makes me HAPPY!!!!

This is the right side. The top two I've shown last week. The bottom two are from Indian Point with my mom, it was fun and not so fun at the same time. The middle cards are so cool mixed in here I think. The first two are mine, MY FAVE COLORS RIGHT NOW! The next one is Summer's and the last one is Renee's. So glad to have a little art in here this week. So far I'm keeping up (just barely).

 

SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW PROJECT LIFE KITS, I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL SEEN THEM BY NOW....LOVE....LOVE....LOVE THEM ALL. WHAT I PLAN ON GETTING IS THE SEAFOAM KIT AND THE BRIDGEPORT TO MIX IT UP WITH. IF I HIT THE LOTTERY THEN I WILL ADD THE OLIVE ADDITION TO THIS ALSO. I THINK BECKY AND TEAM DID AN AMAZING JOB WITH THE DESIGNERS AND ALL THESE NEW KITS. THE LITTLE MINI WHITE BOXES ARE THE SWEETEST THING, CAN'T WAIT TO GET MINE. IF ANYONE HAS BEEN THINKING OF JUMPING IN NEXT YEAR FOR THEIR FIRST TIME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL HELP ANY WAY I CAN. I TRULY BELIEVE IN PROJECT LIFE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU PRESERVE THOSE MEMORIES OF YOURS. ALL THESE NEW KITS WILL BE SO FUN TO WORK WITH SO JUMP, JUMP, JUMP IN!!!

 

I want to thank everyone for the comments on my last post, they make me soooo happy!!!

Here's just a peek at my new art pages from last week. I will try to post these on Thurs/Fri so be sure to come back and see them. These colors have been really fun to play with! Shahrul these are the colors I told you about that I loved in your post with the pick up truck, do you remember? LOVE THESE COLORS!!! I hope to get back into my fabric art soon too, have been too busy.

Look at this little mini pumpkin straight out of OUR GARDEN!! Rich surprised me and grew mini ones this year, LOVE LOVE THESE!! The sunflowers are also ours, so pretty. Rich did this whole arrangement and is so proud of it, lol... he told me to let all of you know. Such a sweetie he is!

Have a great week everyone, see you back here I hope later this week for ART!!

PROJECT LIFE, YIPPPEEE AND FUN ART

Happy Project Life Tuesday!!!  So happy to have this week done on time, it took some effort but keeping it simple made it possible. Seems like the last few weeks my PL is getting harder to do get done on time and without stressing. I've been late ordering my pictures and having hard time choosing them. With all this happening it makes me that much happier when my week is DONE!! I'm liking the blues this week, looks pretty I think.
Before going in further have you seen Becky Higgins blog, OMG OMG you must go look RIGHT NOW!! SERIOUSLY GO LOOK THEN COME BACK AND LOOK AT MY PICTURES!!

SO DID YOU GO LOOK???? ARE YOU IN LOVE LIKE I AM......CAN NOT WAIT TILL NOVEMBER, I WANT TWO OF THEM...... LOVE LOVE IT ALL.....SOOOOO HAPPY!!
Ok now let's look at my close ups....

Here is the left side... I like that there's paper stuff this week. The big one is from our bowling last Monday, FUN TIME!! I finally remembered to ask for the copy of our scores. I wrote about the procedure I had done. I"M FEELING GREAT BY THE WAY!! Included my special art piece I made. The bottom is my collage for the 12 on the 12th day, it was all about the food we had made and eaten that day. The weather has been chilly lately so we made chili and corn/cob and cookies. Really looooving this cool wave we are having, so nice and easy to play outside in finally.

Some favorites on this side, THE SUNSET WAS STUNNING, LOVE THIS!! Sweet pictures of the kids and especially my Sienna girl. The bottom one is about Sam and his efforts at getting customers at his golf ball sale he was having. He made $20 but still wanted more customers so we put out cookies and juice to bribe them but it didn't work. Better luck next time Sam, sorry buddy!!

 We are in the last home stretch before school next week. Sam's books/computer have arrived and are ready to go....I"m loving them and that he will be home with me and learning together. Summer's things come next week, hers is all on the computer NO BOOKS, this saddens us and we will hang in there though and hope for the best. WE LOVE BOOKS REMEMBER!!  Renee is almost ready, needs a few more things and hoping to get her schedule changed a bit. Her chorus class got dropped due to more cut backs,  THIS IS VERY SAD FOR US BOTH!!  Ok how about a little art now..

I've been inspired lately by a new blog and sweet lady Shahrul, she is always creating something pretty in her pages. I was inspired by her page done in black and decided to play around and this is the result... mind you I didn't want to copy her but took some of her ideas and twist it for me.

I started off putting down some white gesso then some PURPLE crumbled up tissue paper on it. Then came out the black watercolors and black acrylic paint. I let it set a bit then added black cut up netting, just quickly cut out not perfect and gessoed it down and added black/white smash tape ontop then a button. Using a white sharpie pen and white out pen made the circles and flowers around the page. She used a quote with the word NEVER in it so I did also and found the purple beauty sticker to add to it. It reminds me to look for the beauty even in our darkest moments, it's hard but you have to try. Now I got some close ups too!!

Look at that texture and the peeks of purple!!

NEW SUMMER JOURNAL AND ART

Hello and happy Sunday!!  Isn't this beautiful?!!! It was even more so in real life, pretty pink and gray with a hint of purple I think and some fog coming in for the night. Love seeing what the sky does each night, what a great way to end my day.
I had a great birthday yesterday, forgot to take pictures but the kids made me cards, Rich surprised me with flowers and balloons, my sister Ann got me a MUCH wanted book, Sienna called and wished me a happy Birthday ( melts my heart) and I got to spend the day at my church scrapping with some friends. Thought I'd share some of my pages with you today, really happy with my journal. My dear friend Bonita had this idea of a summer journal, just a simple spiral notebook at Walmart and some goodies, keeping it stress free!!  So I decided to do one with my favorite pictures from this summer, trying to keep the pages kinda flat so it won't be too heavy and bend or fall apart. I got a lot done and can't wait to do more when I can. Here's a look and click on them to see better, took these last night so no natural light was coming in.

this is so ME right now!

this page is a favorite for me

Tracey, I had fun on this one

needs a banner though at top

I love the background for this

just seeing this makes me want to go back

thanks for the paper trim Bonita!

A HAPPY DAY FOR ALL OF US

really really want to go back here

here is a peek at something I did last night,

inspired from a new friend of mine

more to come later on this one

here is my newest fabric and stitches,

I am a FALL girl all the way!!

So that's it for today, hope you enjoyed all pages and new art. Today is Rich's and our dog Lucky's birthday, so we have lots to be happy about this weekend. Looking forward to our last week of summer vacation since school starts next MONDAY!!  Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for coming by.

Hello there,  I decided to show you my actual pictures this time out of the album. You can see them so much better this way. The page will be very simple this week, no extra's being added. I am happy to say the procdure went well and I'm doing good. The first day was miserable and painful but yesterday all I had was small cramps. Took it easy at home with the kids, reading and movie watching, my family has been bringing us dinner so that helps a lot. THANKS FAMILY! We still have cool temps, which I am loving right now. We needed a break from all that heat, so now we are playing outside each day and enjoying our days and cool nights. I am going to a crop at my church on Saturday, first one in about 3 years, not sure what I will pack and do, excited to go though. We have been eating fresh corn on the cob most nights, Rich did a great job on it again this year. I also did a food theme this past Sunday for my 12 on the 12th, will share those with you later. Thanks again for all the good wishes and prayers to get me thru my procedure, it really helped me. Hope all of you are doing well and enjoy your week.
