is about using paint (watercolour/acrylics etc)
So I got out my much neglected watercolour pencils...
and gave myself the excuse to create the other side of my Project Life LO (re the previous post)
Week 24 in 12x12 format...
Meaghan moving to New Zealand from the UK and purchasing her new car,
and Hannah battling with her old computer so much it was time for a new touch screen one.
Using a dark brown watercolour pencil, outlined all the edges on the LO including the big lettering 'Week 24' which was drawn freehand and cut out
then used a brush with water
You can find the challenge here

Next is getting my October kit together with
ANd I've had a bit of fun...
First off.... here's the kit to counterfeit:
Weeeeeell, I cant go past colour when I shop my stash!
Its the be all and end all in my thought process...
So... this time I put this photo to
Its FABULOUS and will spit out colour swatches! And if you haven't used it before/or known about it... have a go!!! ......
SOOOOO.....
this is what happened:
(there were three extra colours - browns and a mauve so with photoshop, I rubbed them out - didn't want them, too much to consider)
Aaaaaand from these colour swatches...
I came up with this:
'Scrappy Camp'
(because I'm off on a 3 nighter, not this weekend but the next weekend - full of scrapping!!!
This will be great to take away with me, hence the size!)
Dark Blues/Blacks
Blues/Mints
Pinks/Reds
You can find the Counterfeiting HERE
So exciting - roll on Scrappy Camp!!!
------------------------------------------------
And to top it off...
While getting the washing in this afternoon, glancing across to the greengage tree area, I noticed blossoms breaking out of buds...
There is something about 'first blossoms' of Spring...
something that melts the heart......
SPRING!!!!
(sigh :)
These came out so quickly...it was like - one minute.... nothing... and next minute....voila!
