That silly cat!

When I woke up Sunday morning and walked into the living room, what did I see? That crazy Stimpy alseep on his back with his butt in the box. At first I thought he was stuck, but he moved when I touched him. I had to get a picture of it! hehe

Painting again!

Yep, I've caught the bug! I experimented using drywall tape (looks like Magic Mesh) over the pink patterned paper from yesterday. It tore a little as I took the tape off. Next time, I'll be more gentle! hehe

For this one, I used blue cardstock (it's heavier than the paper) and also put tiny bloches of pink color while the paint was wet. Think it came out pretty darn well!

I also put one coat of paint on a piece of red cardstock. Came out pretty cool. Think I may take a piece of sandpaper and sand it a bit to make it more grungy looking.

I'm painting!

One of the recent challenges at STM was to create your own colored paper using some old patterned papers that you owned but haven't, nor would ever, use. I picked a bright neon pink paper, cut it into a 6"x6" square to try this technique out. I didn't have the primer that was used in the instructions, so I used several coats of the white. I also experimented with the Pearl Ex powdered pigments that Pammy had given me several years ago. (I never knew what to do with them! LOL) I mixed in some of the Super Russet (a metalicly reddish color) with the white paint. It turned into a dusty pink color. I painted over the white with this new color. It looks very grunge and I am liking the look of it!

I am so going to try this experiment again with more colors!!

HAPPY HUG DAY!!

Very cool.....I figured out how to add some stuff here. I started with making a slideshow of some of my recent layouts that I have created. And it actually worked! Yay! =)

Woot! I'm blogging! =)

Greetings and Salutations! This is my first attempt at a blog. I'm laughing at myself right now because I have no clue what I'm doing. =)
