PAINT TECHNIQUE
sharing time folks..wow 2 post in one day whats with that ..

i keep getting asked about my paint technique ,so while playing with some product

this afternoon i took a few shots to demonstrate how i make a lil magic with paint .

its all in the application.as you can see the paint all goes on at the same time

and i smear the paint using a palette knife ,lighter colours first

yummo ,i love working with paint

you like?????

its that time again ..ive been lucky enough to get thru the first 3 rounds of the

so you think you can scrap

competition over at the fabo SCRAPTACULAR .

this weeks theme is set by the totally inspiring Claire Bremner..

heres my layout

childhood is the most beautiful of all life's seasons
well here we go for week 4 and Clairs challenge was definately one ive been waiting for,

no suprise that ive used rose moka pp again..my absolute fav atm-

the criteria this week was

masking tape (or another form of decorative sticky tape)-----------well i didnt use masking tape ,rather i used industrial metal tape used in aircraft repairs ,its such a cool medium and you can emboss it ,paint or ink it ..and i have a big roll :)

rub-ons ----------some delicate white kaiser rubs in there

add hand written journalling directly onto your photo--- i love to journal this way ,thanks for the prompt clair

use bright colours-------its definately not the brightest page i have completed but yellow is such a happy colour and its the rose moka

hope you all had a fun weekend..i did! and its only

2 days of work till i have a few days R&R.

i cant wait ...:):):)

im inspired again...by vivian bonder and her amazing use of paint and by someone special,by a kind hearted soul,and to celebrate this flowed out of me last night after my lss class.

this is a 15x30cm canvas

do you want to know how i made this ....

..it took bugger all time .i grabbed my canvas..rough drew the heart ,then got scrunched up red tissue paper and stuck it on with my faithful helamr glue...bit if texture paste around the edge and leave to dry..out come the paints red,silver,pink yellow and orange yummy ,the letters and then DM to glaze it all..butterflies to finish off...i love it soooooooooooooo much ...

looks much better in real life ...

hope you have a wonderful day..

:):):)

finally its finished all of it ,ready to go on its journey ...

my heart hopes for its safe return .

now i know that maybe the colours i have chosen dont really sit with the theme

( i'd love to hear your opinion ),

but with my utter love of these new rose moka pp

and the beauty and colour that life is ,

i had to go with my beloved bright paints .

and finally ,my tribute page to my handsome father....my letter in in a fold under the embellies

remember ,this one is a golden book so space is limited and it's better to avoid over embellishing ,especially in the middle ,down the spine ...cant wait to get yours mel..

its that time again..my weekly challenge for scraptactulars
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN SCRAP COMP.


do you know what it is to be a child?
it is to be so little that the elves can reach up to whisper in your ear
Use a piece of Patterned Paper as your background not cardstock..YEP ROSE MOKA PP

who left me a message in the last post ..mwah to you

finally its finished...well the title page is anyway,and the album is made from a golden book he used to read to micheal and i ,and my journalling ,which was quite a raw emotional rollercoaster ride last night ,that left me totally drained, and upset.but im supposing its a natural part of grief ...even 35 years later..so im going to share my journalling with you sisters,just to let those who are in this swap know .i am posting this sat .!

my dad passed away when he was 29 years old ,i was 3yrs 8 mths

WHAT WE MISSED
We missed everything
I missed knowing you
I missed being your child
I missed you teaching me to ride a bike
I missed knowing you as an adult
I missed being a special person in your heart and knowing it
I miss you. I miss you sooooo much
You missed seeing me grow up
You missed me graduating with a degree
You missed cuddling me at night before bed
You missed teaching me how to be a better person
You missed seeing me off on my overseas adventures
and worrying about me…
You missed it!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I just can’t ever seem to let go.
I know it’s not your fault, I know you were robbed
I KNOW YOU WERE ROBBED OF LIFE..
How could that happen to us. It’s not fair and I’ll never get over it…
Why? WHY? Why you.
My daddy, you were my daddy and i didn’t know you enough
I didn’t see you enough. I didn’t get to love you enough
And i am shattered. My heart is broken and its not ever better.35 years later
What i just can’t understand is how come it was you. You know when people say. “It happens for a reason”. Well they can all go fuck off.
Because that’s just bullshit.
We were robbed, you know it, and I know it and it just not fair.
We missed so much
We missed being together as parent and child
We missed being proud of each other
We missed sharing a life
We missed living at the lighthouse
We missed celebrations and presents
We missed being a family with mum and Micheal
We missed so much
And my heart will never be the same.
But you WERE here, and you DID love me
And i will NEVER FORGET your spirit and energy
And i will ALWAYS LOVE YOU and ill always HAVE YOU WITH ME,
Because I feel your presence when I call you
And I see your messages around me.
And I know that you’re proud of me.
And i know you loved your life as a father, a husband and a lighthouse keeper.
And I’ll never stop loving you.
Dad, i will love you for all eternity
