Good luck Marathoners and an ATC

I am going to miss watching the marathon this year as I will be working - so best of luck to all the participants!! The weather should be far better than last year for the runners!!


I recently joined an ATC Swap group at my LSS Right at Home Scrapbooking. The group meets each month and is given a theme and a number of ATC's
they are to bring back to the next meeting. We re-meet and have a
good time seeing everyone's interpretation of the "theme". This month the theme was favorite color and needed to be monochromatic. My fav color is blue. I used blue papers, blue twine, blue text paper, blue distress ink, a blue staple and a blue paperclip ...

Next month our theme is our favorite movie or movie quote. I aleady know what movie ... maybe some tickets on the ATC ... the wheels are spinning! Hope you have a great week and I'll be back soon!!

Happy Sunday and an Art Journal Page

Happy Sunday!! After a busy work week and a fun but busy day with my parents yesterday I have a bit of down time today to catch up. I also have an ATC class this afternoon at Right at Home Scrapbooking and our theme is our favorite color. I will post my ATC here on my blog tomorrow. I can wait to see what everyone has created!!


I created an art journal page for Splash of Color and I can reveal it today! This is one of my favorite pages lately - it used alot of the Silks Acrylic Glazes which are acrylic paints with AMAZING shimmer effects. Here's my page and a few close-ups. There are more details on how I created the page on the Splash of Color blog ...
