McMahon Five Design

Heyyyy, How you doin'?
Welcome Fabulous Thursday friends. Today is another wonderful release day over at McMahon Five Design!
I LOVE THIS COMPANY!

Can you believe that tomorrow is already Friday. I say it like that means something significant. Well...for me, I have been free of the working world for nearly 8 years! WOW how time does fly. Years ago my husband said that we would retire at 45 and 35, we are 10 years apart. I laughed hysterically and said I'm sorry you didn't get the memo but I've been retired for some time now. ;)

Okay so this is what happened...right when I got comfortable with a style my heart told me I needed to do something completely different. Yes clean lines and flat images are gone, those days came and went like a cold breeze on a summer day. Today is the dawning of a whole new style and I have to say...
I LOVE IT!!!!!

So here
There are no boundaries
no limits
no lines
no rules
Only me, my brush, and my art!
Scuba Fun


Whadda ya think? I LOVE IT! lol
Okay so this little gem...I'm calling it a gem because I'm in love lol. ANYYYYWAAYYYY. It was made using recycled materials. Yes you heard me! lol Okay soooo I USE to have a shopping problem hahahah. Anyhow that lead to me receiving a TON of yellow packages in the mail. And I kept them because I like recycling but I hadn't found a use for them yet. Well I decided that I would pull one out and see what I could come up with. I did some awesome things to the inside too. Basically I pulled the acrylics out dusted them off and went to work. I love how this came out. I also used foam stamps to stamp the "summer notes". This is for my little man. He gets shafted sometimes in my journey to make the world pink and frilly. Poor guy hehe okay well that is that for now. I hope you all are having a fabulous week!
