Makeup to mud in 3 seconds flat

more She Art girls

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!

 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Mom I think the world of you and it is always unconditional the love you give me and the kids. THANKS! you are so wise, and knowledgeable.

So I told you I started a new adventure, a new pledge. It is crazy but could be life changing. (hahaha)

The pledge was to do 100 layouts BEFORE buying anything new. However, some of the peeps I was scrapping with were giving me a hard time if it was fair for me to enter since I do hundreds a year and am sent stuff to work with. So instead I offered a twist to the pledge. I said I would try and do 100 projects that are not work related. This could be hard. But I am gonna try. It is a good way to use up our stuff. And I have to be honest, as I was going through my boxes of stuff I wanted to sell, I found stuff that I LOVED buying but have never used, so I started creating project kits for myself. I made almost 40 of them. So I think a large part of my battle has now been tackled. EXCELLENT!

The most important part of this pledge for me is that I don't have to reinvent the wheel. I can do simple projects, or anything I want, It can be totally taken from a sketch or however I want. That is cool. I have hundreds of pics I want in albums so it is a good time to get them there!

The very first piece I did for this is:

The next is 2 out of a series I am doing for my friends. So far I have 10 in the works and are drying. I delivered 2 today to fabulous friends, and will continue delivering as I finish them. They are totally inspired from my SHE ART course that I took from Christy Tomlinson.  LOVED it and totally recommend to anyone!!!!

I totally am blessed with amazing friends. I have been so misguided on friendships I've had the last few years, that I really felt so strongly on trying to really fine tune the ones I have and  the ones I want to nurture. So these are teeny tokens of my appreciation for them. True friendships are so valuable!!!! Can't wait to finish up the rest and get them out too!

here's another one.

well off to enjoy the rest of the day with my kids, I love when they come home. miss you jimmy!
