just my style

Happy Small Business Saturday!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I had a wonderful day with my family and it was GORGEOUS outside! The dogs were out all day and I even helped my Dad with some yard work. Today, I have my windows open and it is so warm for the end of November!

I avoided the crazed masses on Black Friday and spent some time in my studio. I've been waiting for some decent photgraphing weather to share my latest canvas for fun. I used a 6x12 canvas and put some girlie dresses hanging on a line. Here it is.....

I could create mixed media all day and never get tired of it!! However, I have some deadlines approaching so back to layouts - thank goodness for a few extra days off to get caught-up ... Have a great weekend and help support your FAV small businesses!

Thankful ...

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! I'm winding down the work week and then four days off ... AMEN! I'm looking forward to time tomorrow with my family whom I'm incredibly grateful for in so many ways - they are definitely my rock!

A big thanks to the ladies who attended my last canvas class at the recent crop hosted by Right at Home Scrapbooking. It was small, intimate group and very relaxed and FUN!! Thanks for your support!

I have a layout posted on Petaloo's blog giving thanks for the best dog EVER! Here's the layout and close-ups are on the blog ...

I finished another canvas for fun and as soon as the weather cooperates I'll share it with you - it's pink, girly and just plain fun! I am starting a Christmas canvas this weekend with a fun technique ... and lots of glitter!

I wish everyone the best Thanksgiving holiday and those of you who are brave enough to shop on Friday have fun - I'll will not be joining you LOL!! Have fun and be safe!

 

Canvas for FUN!

Just finished up another canvas - just for FUN! This is a 10x10 slim profile canvas with distressed flowers, a banner,a bird and lots of bright colors! I used a non-permanent mist with a stencil and once the mist was thououghly dry, I lightly added mulit-medium to seal it so I could add more layers without smearing the mist. Here's the canvas with some close-ups...

I'll be back soon with a fall layout I did for Petaloo using some gorgeous flowers and leaves and a pic of Simba when she was a year old!! See you soon!

ATC fun!!

Happy Thursday! I wanted to hop on and share my first ever ATC cards I did for Creative Imaginations. I thought, how hard can it be - the canvas is so small it'll be a breeze ... not so much! I was definitely a challenge to create something small, but here's what I came up with ...

I treated each card like a mini canvas and it finally came together! Here's each card separately ...
