March @ the Beach - Challenge #1

Rainbow Brite (& Big Tex, too)




This is my entry for the March beach Challenge #1, the challenge was to use the color spectrum of the rainbow, it didn't say we had to use colored paper so I played with my watercolor pencils. Then to add a little "bright" I added some distressed stickles. We had a choice of neutrals with guidelines and I chose the cream/kraft/brown combo.

Thanks Kathryn this was fun! (But, I have determined it's virtually impossible for me to crop and chat at the same time!!)

Thanks for stopping by, I'm off to work on #2!

More Bookmarks!

These are two bookmarks that I gave away last weekend for girlfriends that I have met at the beach that live in the DFW area.

Never lose another bookmark!

I've had extremes of moods and attitude in the last week and as I look back on the items that I've created it's definitely reflected.

Still Playing...

I played again today. I had fun with layers, glimmer mist, masking, paint, ink and stamps...

More about the "journal" (term used loosely here):
Still playing (a.k.a. layering) this time I got out my Watercolor Pencils. I forgot how much fun those pencils are to play with, I worked pressure, I have more to learn, but it was tonz of fun!
Really, isn't fun the goal with any hobby?? I'm embracing that's my goal, sometimes I get caught up in "is it good enough?". I have decided it's good enough for me! If not it's going in the trash...and I'm okay with that too.

Thanks for stopping by & Enjoy your weekend,

2 peas in a bucket winnings

Morning,
Quick picture of what I received from 2p's for winning the Maya Road drawing from CHA week.
Not sure what I'm gonna do with them, but I'm sure I will figure out something. :-)
Thanks for stopping by, and have a happy healthy weekend!

Dirty Girl :-)

Good Morning-
My friends that hang out at the "Beach" have already seen this tag, I was a little nervous as to what the reaction would be so I "put it out there" to receive some feedback. Considering that the "Beach" consist of women of all ages (most of them being my daughters age) I didn't want to offend anyone.
Sexuality is a process that has many different stages and as women we reach our levels of comfort at different stages in our lives. I don't know what inspired me to make this particular tag.
I was placing ez mount on some stamps that I have had for awhile, I hadn't been using them because they were so difficult unmounted. Wouldn't you know that the bottle I just had to try and from there this was born.

In reflexion this tells a story (at the ripe old age of 47)..... What story do you hear in this tag?

Thanks for stopping by, have a happy scrappy day!
