Howdy!

Hey y'all! Okay so today I really wanted to just play with some paper and some paint and some stamps. Well if you read my bloggie regularly you know I've really been getting into mixed media art journaling stuff! LOVE it btw. Its so liberating and free of rules. I love that. Well anyway my kids have been loving the art journals and they all want their own. So I've been helping them around the paint area but I wanted to make a special something for one of them who is just wanting to write the words to his own story and not draw the pictures. I can dig that lol. He is such a free mind so I guess the pictures give him focus? I don't know. Either way here is what I did for him. Also, I love Market Street Stamps and I'm uber excited they started doing challenges. This is the first and I'm really going to attempt to play along always. Here is my first play along.

Here's a list of What was used:
Ink- Basic Black (Stampin Up)
Embellishments- metal brad (Stampin Up), stickles, glossy accents, dryer sheets
Stamps- Blast Off (Market Street Stamps) for the stars, words, and rocket

Tools- Crop a dile to punch a whole in the dryer sheets (stars), big shot, yellow star die, sewing machine and thread
Paper- brown paper lunch sack and one page of Voyage of Dawn Treasure (one of his favorite books, don't worry it was an extra)
Adhesive- glue gun, glue stick
Color medium- white gel pen for a few of the stars and outlining the sentiment. Turquoise, purple and yellow acrylic paint.

Thank you all so much for looking and stopping by and leaving fabulous comments. Please come  back later tonight for the Queens Royal birthday Hop and dont forget about the

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!
