Hiya sistahs

Hope you had a great week!  I did lots of stuff and I wasn’t gonna tell anyone but I kinda made this deal with myself.. to share more about ME.. you’ve been with me for so long, that I feel like I don’t even have any secrets..LOL.  So as you must know.. I am always struggling with my weight.. up, down, sideways, vertically..LOL  So today I decided to commit to Jenny Craig.  Like I said, I really didn’t wanna say anything but this announcement makes it more real for me.. more committed.. more ACCOUNTABLE.  So my journey starts TOMORROW and I am very excited :).  If any of you have ever done Jenny Craig and have favorite meals, please do let me know.. I am very interested!  I will also be starting a post in our FORUM (If you haven’t joined, please do.. we are working on making it a very amazing place to “hang”).

OK.  I feel better.  I now COMMITTED myself to doing this by announcing it to my 4 readers..LOL

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!!

Portions of I AM script used again

Dena used the MARTHA STEWART MONARCH BUTTERFLY PUNCH and the MARTHA STEWART 3 in 1 BUTTERFLY PUNCH she also stamped the MAYA ROAD CHIPBOARD LETTERS with the SCRIPT STAMP!

I was so proud when I saw Dena BEAMING at me while she was showing it to me..LOL.  She is one of the BESTEST scrapbookers out there I must say.

Mwah to da sistahs who LOVEY da BELIEVE tree

Em

Hiya sistahs!

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!
