You gotta take a looky at Dena’s latest creation.. I swiped it even before it got to her BLOG.. WOOOHOOO!
Dena used the gorgeous BELIEVE TREE by Valentina Ramos.. I am trying to show people how AMAZING a stamp can be on a layout.. How PERFECT it can fit and match the paper! A stamp is the PERFECT embellishment on a scrapbook page because you can ink it in any colour you would like to match the rest of your page!
you’ll see the shipping tag poking out on the left.. and a portion of our “I AM SCRIPT”.. GORGEOUS!!
Just wanted to show you a canvas I dabbled with last night. I love spray inks. and I mean LOVE spray inks.. and so does Jayden..LOL. Every night we go into our disaster basement and just paint and spray and journal. She asked me yesterday “mommy, is painting good for you?”.. I said “do you feel better after you paint?” she said “yes!” so I said “then YES! it IS good for you!”.. LOL so cute
So here is the 1st of 3 canvases in this “series”.. LOL can’t believe I just said that. This style is inspired by Dina Wakley.. I just love her and her “graffiti” style.. she is awesome. I have taken 3 of her classes and loved EVERY one of them!
I sprayed, I stamped, I painted, I stencilled.. OOOOH LALA!
I am back from BUFFALO! Denabella and I decided to take a well deserved day off to eat, shop and just hang out. Bought some clothes which I VOWED wouldn’t fit in a month (due to MAJOR WEIGHT LOSS..LOL).. do you ever buy clothes and say “UCH it’s such a waste of money cuz I am losing weight?”… I always say it and it NEVAH happens… this time.. I really want it to happen sistahs!
This has been an INCREDIBLE month of entries.. OMG.. I am SO HAPPY I am not the one to pick the new BABEROONI.. Everyone’s entries have been TREMENDOUS and I so appreciate you taking the time to share your most amazing work with us. Really it means the world to me!

Here’s a little story for ya. Tyler went out on Saturday for the day and the beautiful and talented Jayden joined me for a day of PURRRE luxury. First we went to get a manicure/pedicure together.. she was so prim and primed and primped and promped that she didn’t know what to do with herself. It was so cute to watch. I, on the other hand was dreading a certain part of the pedicure… LOL. I will tell you SISTAHS but DON’T TELL ANYONE!!! So I am not so happy with this body I currently own.. trying to change it but that’s another blog post.. so of course, I am wearing capris and I know the “BOING BOING” is about to happen. You know what the “BOING BOING” is? THE BOING BOING is when the pedicurist starts BEATING (LOL I am giggling as I type) the backs of your legs to start circulation and REVIVE the skin. Well.. thank GOODNESS it was only Jayden in the room but it makes a VERY loud noise and I feel like the jiggle in my leg skips rope so basically it goes around and around the bone.. can you envision? I will never forget the first time I got the BOING BOING in a ROOM full of people… who were also getting the BOING BOING.. but their boing boing was much quieter than my BOING BOING. hmph. Has anyone else ever gotten DA BOING BOING?
Jayden and I then went to a beautiful mall and a gorgeous expensive store and I told her that she MUST behave like a lady (as If I do..LOL) because we are being VERRRRY fancy. So in we pranced and looked at purses and makeup and enjoyed every minute. We then had lunch, laughed about the boing boing and went home to work on our art journals.. is that not a DEEVINE day?
Have you had one of those lately?
if not, might I suggest a BOING BOING? lol
