Cari Locken.

I cannot put this beautiful friend out of my head this week. Unfortunately it is not for the best of circumstances. So I thought I would definitely honour her with happiness and complete adoration instead of feeling sad, worried and non stop crying. 

My dear sweet friend suffered a heart attack this week. She is SOOOOOO young, and beautiful and the most genuine, caring girl I know. I have enjoyed getting to know her over the last 6ish years and really enjoy anytime we visit in person. We have and are on many similar design teams, so even though she has moved to BC, we still keep in contact through msg boards daily. Her husband has said that she is recovering and they hope she will be home soon.  I know I believe in the power of prayer and I believe in positive thinking, and I know this fabulous girl had the numbers on her side,cause everyone I know loves Cari. But let's keep praying for her to recover well and be back to the marathon running, giving extra hugs mommy and the girl whose smile makes you feel like a million bucks!

So today, it seemed only natural to dedicate the day to her. Get well Cari, and can't wait till you are scrapping up a storm. :)

Cari's style is clean and classic.

 Thanks for looking, check out her blog and send her many many well wishes, she deserves it!!!!

Cari, I will be thinking and praying for you as long as you need it my friend. Till the next time we get together and I make you laugh till you pee! I have lot's more stories girl. you know it! Just like last time. :)

hugs my friend!

So I can take some more pics now that it is daylight and they are dry. You sure go through a LOT of Mod Podge with all the different layers. Fun though!!! 

So I was true to sticking to my pledge using what i had, that is why all the canvases are different shapes and sizes, but I don't think anyone minds.

The entire base was layered with many different colours of acrylic paint. I used bubble wrap pressed into the wet paint to add dimension. LOT's of different rub ons. When I was purging for my scrapbook sale, I totally scored finding a Creative Imaginations Swatchbook. Those are gems for words!!!! Oh and another total score, I got alligator paper long ago with the intention to save for zoo pics. BUt man those crocs made for good boots and a purse. lol.

I did stamp most of the flowers, when they were dry i would add more tones in with my copics. I love the alcohol ink look.
  

After I was finished I did give a good dose of glimmer mist to make it sparkle. In the sun it just shines!!! LOVE it!

 

This one was a little out of my comfort zone. i tried to create a sophisticated girl, I do like it, I just find it so much easier to do whimsical little girls. 

I love the different looks it gives when you layer stamps with rub ons and then pp. fun



ok, well I am honestly tired today, and Ireland needs a nap, so I'm gonna go join her right now. busy night of sports. See you tomorrow!
