The Crafter’s Workshop/Balzer Designs Blog Hop!

I am so happy to be a part of this blog hop as Julie has been such an artful inspiration in the scrapbooking community.  She's been working with the Crafters workshop to bring us these wonderfully creative stencils... made of a poly material which means it can take a lot of hammering and paints and glues and other stuff. For this Blog hop, the Leaf grid stencil is featured and any of you who know me, know I love a grid. Love!
So, i experimented quite a bit with different media and in the end i used a wet paint technique... where I paint over the stencil with wet paint (in an aqua green color) and i loved how it flooded below the stencil. Then I painted it again with white paint (less wet) and then i used a grey marker and drew some leaves over the white paint. In the end, I used some molding paste and just added a bit here and there for some texture. as you can see, the effect of the page is soft with splashes of color from the Amy Tan embellishments.

Next, hop to Tammy's blog... and see other creative ways to use the leaf grid stencil.
here is a list of the 5 blog hop participants:

Things that makes me happy + things that makes me grow...

This video by Brene Brown touched my heart in a deep place: The power of vulnerability. The fact that a heart can only heal when it becomes vulnerable. Do yourself a favor and watch it and then tell me if it's not something beautiful. thank you for the kind comments on the previous post... i feel your love. thank you.

then...

On 2peas this is new: October Afternoon's 9to5 collection is in the house! AND my friend and fellow garden girl Amy Heller has a new and exciting workshop called Kaleidoscope:

hello monday

As i am writing this blog, the wind is howling around the corners of the house. For some reason, i love the melancholy sound of it. The sun is shining and everything is green... so i am definitely not complaining. This weekend was a whirlwind trip to Calgary, Alberta... a 8 hour trip one way and we had a wonderful time. With three teenage (believe me, Jana is a handful... so she counts) girls,  what we do is give them a budget for the weekend. I transfer the money to their accounts and they are responsible for their purchases and I don't have a care in the world... being bugged all the time with i want this and that. PLUS if they want to buy a designer item that leaves them with nothing... they cannot complain to me. Because we are going away again this coming weekend to Vancouver, i transferred enough spending money for 2 weekends and at first they thought it was Christmas... but then they realized that leaving some dollars for next weekend is easier said than done. And while all this is doing on, i am at peace. With no care. love it. I can really recommend it. :)

This is a 2peas design team page that went live last week, but i never posted it on my blog:

I took this picture of Mac last month... and i feel his warm and cuddly personality shows. I love this dog! And that little paper schnauzer? I *heart* it. Thanks to my silhouette. They have all sorts of dogs available.
