Thank You

Whenever I win a prize, I like to send a thank you note.I appreciate the opportunities to win prizes and want the person offering these chances to know that. I often to try to use the product I won on the card but this time I decided to switch it up and do more of a mixed media/paint card. I just wanted to play.

This one is a new fave of mine! The colors are so pretty and I love the simple design. 

I broke out the glitter for this one! Unfortunately I did not notice that my thank you sentiment fell off before I photographed it. I will be adding that back on. 

I love the new Little yellow Bicycle Feels Like Home collection. It is just perfect for this thank you!

Count a Blessing

I frequently walk on the golf course with my husband as he plays. I don't play - just walk. One night a few weeks ago, I found these wonderful lacy leaves. I am assuming bugs or something got at them and immediately thought of how I could use them. Fall and leaves go hand in hand right now so this is the project I made.

I modge podged the leaves on after creating a wonderful background using various paints, stamps, stencils, etc.

Fall Color

Happiness is simply staring in awe at the colors on a fall day! I remember this morning at the cottage. the water was as clear as glass and the trees reflected perfectly just like a mirror. So very pretty!

I really wanted to emphasize the color so I got out my paints. I poured some puddles and then used a straw to blow the paint around.

I used more of the wonderful LYB Feels Like Home Collection!

Entering this in the Create to Live challenge at My Sweet Earth.

Playing with Paint!

A journal page - my version of Tracy's Monday show.

I took a bit of a different approach and used some wonderful LYB papers for my house. I covered them with a layer of watered down paint. Hand wrote the words. This was a fun challenge.

Yes, the house is based on the design of our house.

I have a layout in this month's issue of Scrapbooking.com. Titled It was Summertime in northern Michigan, this layout was a tribute to summers spent visiting my grandparents in Northern Michigan. My grandmother had a wood cookstove which I could never use without burning everything! They had a garden and a root cellar filled with jars of fruits and veggies. I remember playing in the hay in the barn and petting a cow. We made that trek every year!
