Weekend full of wonder

Huge Hello Everyone!

First i have to say a HUGE thank you to everyone whom placed
an Eye Candy Magic order

I'm truly overwhelamed by your kind comments and wonderful support.

{{HUGS}}


I was in for some soul searching this week, between trying to find my
way through my scrappen supplies and been as brutal
as i could be with my stash, i was finding myself more lost thn when i started.

So i dropped in on an old Art class friend from the BC days {Before Children}

We had a HUGE chat about what it is to create and what we are really search for
when we put our create seleves to work.

We came to the similar conclusion that we create for the love of creating.
From taking something and making it our own...

I understand that i also work with Art to help me find myself.
I also came to the revalation that deep down i'm a collage artist and will forever
be collecting and creating because that is whom i am. 

As much as i enjoy Study and family there is alway
a part of me that is on the look out for inspiration and enjoy every exciting moment
creating, or dancing with muse as my Art friend would put it :)

After this chat with my friend i found a new sence of myself and i have given myself the
freedom to create what i like when i like.

I think this is where i had lost myself when i was more interested to sticking to what
was going on in the scrappen world and not what myslef wanted , which was to create and explore
with mediums :)

so of i wenting into a little what ever makes me happy mode
and i created this cover for a Dream journal.




As you can see i had some real fun just using some scraps and paints :)
Really enjoyed just gluing and painting on this journal and then doing some glimmer
mists and bling :)

I also really enjoyed creating the one offs from last sale and so i have started making some more
for next months Sale :)



With My TAFE homework done i also thought i would have a play with a Digital kit that
i was just got from Pickle Berry Pop

Called -Be Happy Designed by Armian Designs



with some paint splatters designed from Miss Mint
based on the template from Dawn Inskip.


So all in all it has been a wonderful weekend
and i really hope you all have had just as much if not more fun than I :)

Happy creating my fellow Scrappers :)
