Use It Tuesday Challenge #10

Salutations! I had a few hours before another picnic so I made this card for the challenge on Use It Tuesday.  Challenge #10 is to use red, white and blue and of course to use something in your supplies you have never used.

I'm going through all my hoard of paper and found I had some patriotic paper that I never even realized I had and never used plus some red and blue ribbons with stars and flourishes.


Supplies:
Paper: Patriotic Paper (not sure where it came from)
White and red cardstock, bristol paper
Flag:  My photograph
Royal Blue and Red Spray Ink from Inkadinkado
Star template from The Crafters Workshop
Tag Star
Card Sketch: Mojo Monday #198

Thats it for now. I hope you are having a great weekend.
Thanks for stopping by.

Having fun on canvas again!

Salutations!  I'm have a ton of fun working on canvas lately.  When I've completed a canvas it takes quite a while to get all the ink, paint and glue off my hands.


I originally wasn't going to put a girl on the page but I had the red pattern paper and I couldn't resist making a dress. The skirt is a little big. I was having so much fun that I was distracted and forgot to cut it down a little before I glued it. Thats okay it still works fine.  The heart is a stamp from one of Tim Holtz artistry collections. It's my favorite stamps lately. I seem to be using it on everything!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Clouds, Clouds, Clouds!

Salutations! I thought I would share with you some photographs of some clouds. I know weird! I love clouds. When I was little my mother and brother would take me outside and lay on the grass to look up at the sky full of fluffy white clouds. We would play a game and try to find shapes in the clouds. You know you played it too!  I still do that to this day. 

These shots I took because the clouds were in such a strange formation. The pictures don't do them any justice or shall I say the photographer didn't but when I looked up at the sky they were amazing.

Outside my bedroom window.

Thispicture I took not because the clouds looked strange but because you can see them in the reflection of the building. 



Okay thats enough clouds for now! I hope you enjoyed my photographs.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
