mwah mwah

Em

why oh why  do I get these emails?  Do you think someone is telling me something? LOL

had to share

Em

and just wanted to share my CRAZY week… ya know.. it seems so boring as life passes and then when I sit down with my pictures from the week.. I am amazed that  I captured some of that..LOL…

For this layout I really only used TAGS and LABELS.. LOL.  I made Paulabella run to Staples in Michigan and buy me all of the Martha Stewart/Avery labels that has ever existed to mankind.. They are GORGEOUS.  Paulabella, an amazing friend, managed to bring her daughter for the “haul”..  She shipped it that night and I got it 2 days later.. it was phenom… UNTIL…. I found out they sold it here.  Hmph.  I didn’t tell Paula so when she reads this.. I am gonna run VERY far..LOL

here’s DENABELLA’s page

Sheryl’s Project life pages

and Helenabella’s pages

This is SOOO much fun to do.. and I kinda feel like a spy looking at other people’s stuff.. but they let me right? LOL

Hope you start doing this sistahs.. you will love it and it’s such a great way to use up your “stash”!

and NO, you don’t need to start on January first.. you can start any time..

Mwah mwah mwah

Em

Hiya sistahs!  Hope you had a great weekend!

We were busy in DA bella household.. between hockey practices (i dunno why I say I am busy cuz Ryan does all the back and forthing..  but it makes me tired watching).. and Jayden was practicing her SPEECH.. LOL .. which she did PHENOMALICIOUSLY this morning.. so proud.  Tyler would have had to sit on a chair and face the back wall so no one could see him and then he would cry..LOL.  Funny how two different kids from da same bella can be so different.

Ok let’s proceed with a little art journaling/mixed media.  I just wanna tell da sistahs that you can use any substrate to do your journaling on.. whether it is a piece of paper, watercolor block, canvas, canvas board, muslin.. whatever you want to journal on can be submitted (you know there’s a reason for that explanation..LOL)..

The theme this week was using book print, book text somewhere on your page.. whether it be words cut up.. or whole pages as backgrounds..

Let’s see the beautiCIOUSness.. shall we?

So the reason why I say any SUBSTRATE is because I decided to journal on a canvas this week :)…I think it is my “go to” place right now.. canvases.. I think they are YUM…

and here is the close up of the book text.. I just love surrounding myself with old books and finding the right words and cutting them up and putting them together… it’s like a puzzle!

*sigh*.. I love mixed media

Now is that not a round of STUNNINGNESS???  OMG!  This makes me soooo happy 🙂

Next week’s theme.. courtesy of DENABELLA is to use TAPE on your page.. washi tape, masking tape (you can stamp and paint your tape too) , do it yourself tape….   HAVE FUN with it!!

Mwah to da sistahs who wanna get MESSY

Em

P.S. stay tooned for tomorrow’s PROJECT LIFE post… (note to self.. FINISH project life layout..LOL)
