    SOC4: week 4

    June 30, 2014 - By 

    I can’t believe The Summer of Color is nearing it’s end…or am I just being a glass half empty sort of gal today?  Regardless…here we are already at week 4 of 6.

    I took the liberty of choosing a brighter pink…mainly because from the computer..down the stairs to my art zone…I’d convinced myself that it was the neon pink color that was needed. 20140630_5607Not sure why…maybe I was having a 1980’s flash back.  Mallrats… Day glo…. Hypercolor…acid wash denim…  Anyone with me?

    love canvasWe celebrated our 20th Anniversary this weekend. It was wonderful to reminisce while spending a quiet day together. With it being Easter weekend, a get-away will have to wait for a later date. That’s ok..then we get to celebrate twice!

    I was totally inspired to create this canvas on Saturday morning. It all just sort of came together all at once.

    Supplies:

    • 6×6 canvas
    • tissue paper
    • rubber stamps (mostly Stampin’ Up!)
    • Staz-on ink
    • Liquitex matte medium
    • Liquitex Basics–bright aqua green
    • India ink
    • scrapbook paper
    • canvas letter stickers

    love

    Journal rant exposed

    March 28, 2014 - By 

    A couple days ago I had something that was eating me up…interfering with my entire day. Someone that I care about…not living in my house…but that I care about…had hurt me once again.  After supper, I decided to do what always helps me…WRITE.  Just get it out. A simple rant.  An unloading of all the bottled up ick. Spill it out on the page…and so I did.rant blurredIt’s funny because as I write I see myself working through it in my mind. Of course…you…cannot see it since I blurred it. Sorry…personal stuff…no peeking.

    So today…feeling much better I painted over my rant. I still know its there. I know what it says. It helped, so it can now become something positive.

    let it goThese words of wisdom come from the recent Disney movie “Frozen“. If you’re not familiar with it here’s the song that inspired the end product of this page.  Both the song and movie are a new favorite in our house.
