Your Face

It’s been a week. It’s been a really long and extremely difficult week since my Mother in Law passed away. I want to thank those of you who have helped me (and Gene) try to get through this. Writing my last post was extremely difficult, but it needed to happen. And those of you who commented on it, really touched me. Thank you.

So I am slowly trying to get back into the swing of things. Of creating…of blogging…of my regular life stuff. So, I made a layout that made me smile. Something that I am having a hard time doing these past few days. I hope it makes you smile too!

Your-Face-1

This is my silly little girl…making her silly little face that she makes whenever a camera is pointed at her. I have no idea why she does this face…but it’s hilarious! She crunches up her nose, and squints her eyes (mostly the right one) and grits her teeny teeth.

Your-Face-2

She’s so silly! I used some ric rak (which I am quickly becoming obsessed with!), Prima flowers, brads and a journal spot. The title was created from Smeared Ink’s Teen Style Sayings. I embossed the edges on my sage cardstock which was first inked with White. I think it came out cool.

Your-Face-3

So there you go.  A happy little layout that brightened my day. Again, thanks for all the love. I’ve really needed it. Have an inspiring (and happy!) day.

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Blog Hop Finale

Hello! It's time for the finale of the DecoArt and Stampendous blog hop. Have you enjoyed yourself this week? I bet you've got some new techniques that you want to try. I know I do! I am super stoked about my project for today. And it solves a dilemma that we've had in my kids' room for a while. What you see above is 2 pieces of PVC. And some fab DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics ! So, what am I doing with PVC, you ask? Well, my mom bought my son a light saber(Darth Vader's) for Christmas, and he wanted to display it, but we weren't really sure where in his room, and how. I wanted something cooler than hooks, and we thought it would be neat to have the light saber vertical, instead of horizontal. Plus, there was a fab spot for it if it hung in that direction. So, my husband came up with the PVC pip idea, and I altered the pieces. The end cap holds the base, and the small piece of pipe holds up near the end. And the 2 pieces are spaced out enough so that...
