We can't wait to see what YOU create!

Here's my take on Em's sketch and the colours of CSI case file # 58 - "Fun". The sketch is there but as I started adding the doilies, the graphics of the page were lost.

 
Papers used are Webster's Pages Plumseed and a bit of Prima Sun Kiss.






Not the typical getaway one would think of when it's Valentine's but the journalling prompt doesn't mention it has to be a Valentine's one. The photo is not of me but of the DD of my hubby's cousin as she loves what I love; riding anything that goes up/down/around and is with lots of movement. So each summer hubbs and I go to the Stockholm amusement park, he refuses to go with me on the attractions, so I just pile on handbag, cardi and any loose items on his outstretched arms and disappear quickly to my awaiting 5-second adrenaline rush. I just loooove to dangle with my feet up in the air those couple of seconds before they let the breaks go and I plummet shreaking loudly and laughing hysterically down towards earth. Well, it's me and about 20 teenagers ...

 


I used a Blue Fern Studios Floral Clock (07468) under the title work. This is what it looks like untreated.

Floral Clock
I painted it in white acrylic paint and started dabbing and misting in yellow, teal, grey, blue and white again till I was happy with the result.

This time the evidence used are fabric and sailboat transportation accent (the banner is made of canvas and mimics the triangular shape of sails) and wood (well, twisting it a bit one could say chipboard is made of wood). 

Thank you very very much for your visit, really appreciate it! I'll be back on Saturday.

As good ol' Barry Manilow used to sing;

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Toodelipip! xoxo Eila
