WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Hiya sistahs!  Long time no speak!  Well, I am slowly seeing the light and trying to grab stolen moments to get back into the blog, and creating without paint LOL

would love to see your creations too!

So I took our LIFE IS GOOD stamp by Diane Duda.. I just LOVE this stamp.. makes me happy 🙂 and sometimes we all need a little reminder

First I got a new AGENDA/PLANNER.. don’t roll your eyes ok?  I LOOOVE this one so much and will get into a post on that one too.. but to give you a little taste, you can look at it here.. it’s called THE SUCCESS CHOICE.. LOVE.  but more on that later n’k?

I wanted to create a first page in there that would just remind me of the simple things.. of how life IS good and to keep remembering that.  So every time I open my binder.. this is what I see 🙂  I can collage on it, I can write notes on it.. or I can just leave it as is and let it do it’s work and relate it’s message to me

Then I took it a bit further and decided to dabble with what I would give my kid’s teachers this year as gifts.. and I thought little note cards would be so perfect!  We can decorate with our stash of washi tape.. we can go to the dollar store and buy a cute binder clip and clip them together… add envelopes.. no envelopes..whatever tickles your fancy :).  What I also love to do is use parts of the image.. you don’t need the whole thing stamped.. or stamp different angles or portions of the stamp to make a cute little set!

Here’s a closeup of the coloured image… and next I will show you what tools I used 🙂 ready?

Fun no?  Do you like these types of posts?  I can do more ya know.. just let me know!

Also don’t forget about BELLARIFIC FRIDAY TOMORROW!  Hope to see your creations!

Oh and I couldn’t resist this little funny..  My friend sent it to me this morning and I thought I would share 🙂

ENJOY

This is the latest piece I have been working on.. and by popular demand, I will be starting a section on this website for my artwork for sale.. although I cannot part with any of them.. just sayin’.  there are many many layers here.. paint, collage, more paint, penwork.. and more paint etc.. she was an absolute joy to work on.. and there is another one coming very soon 🙂

Hiya sistahs 🙂

I know I haven’t been the greatest bloggista and I encourage you to follow me on Instagram.. I am very active on there and it is just easy to show it all in a picture.. know what I mean bean?

I will try to make more of an effort here but I am still trying to keep my head above watah (water)…

So our theme for this week was to use a bit of NEON on our page.. I just love neon paints 🙂

I just love AJ mondays on Wennsdays and sometimes on TOOsdays LOL

next week’s theme is a color combo.. bought these at michaels.. put them all together and it has been inspiring me..

And in case you were wondering what my current favorite song is.. LOL cuz I know you are… it’s this one 🙂  Enjoy
