An Art Filled Weeknd!

Hello bloggers! Hope you are all well and enjoying life. I'm happily off today after a few busy work days. Time off is the only way I can get through the work week sometimes, especially if there is a lot of art involved in my time off! This past weekend was filled with art which makes me soooo happy!  I had the pleasure of attending several classes this past week at Right at Home Scrapbooking. We were very lucky to have the oh so talented Catherine Scanlon visit us for the weekend. Friday night Catherine taught a wonderful watercolor class - I learned so much about using products I already had! Saturday was an all day art journal class and we had the opportunity to use her newly released stamps and stencils. I learned some cool lettering techniques and can't wait to finish my pages. Thanks Catherine for a fun weekend!! Looking forward to your return visit in April!!

I love this picture of Simba sleeping with one of her favorite toys. She dreams a lot and that's what inspired this layout. She is such a sweet dog and is almost 13 years old. I'm so lucky to have her in my life.  I added some gold sequins to accent the frame ...

 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you find time for your passion. I will be back with projects from Project Life and a cute Valentine's Tag I created for a fun Valentine's Blog Hop with Jenn Shurkus! Details coming soon!
