Painting with the kids

Today I decided to take out some canvases (cause I have a lot) and get the kids to paint with me. Charlie is my more creative child but Brady willingly participated. Charlie painted a minecraft pumpkin that was shot and Brady also painted a scene out of minecraft with a creeper.

I also started a canvas, I think I have a good base going not too sure what I'm gonna do to finish it all up. If you're wondering what the red all over is well I had a candle burning and I thought there was too much wax, so I took a spoon and pour all over -it smells wonderful! It was an apple candle from Bath & Body Works.

This is my first post using the blogger app for iPhone so if things look wonky I apologize.
Until next time

Lucky 7 Factory crop

Hello,

i have layouts to share!!!!  yay!
yesterday i spent the day cropping with my buddies Claude, Erin, JJ and Eliane at the all-day crop organized by Lucky 7 Factory.  For those who don't know who they are well they are a Quebec scrapbook papers and embellishments company.  We all received lots of goodies, they do a lot of embellies by hand which is nice.  The crop was extreamly well organized and the food was good too!

unfortunately i arrived late due to a family emergency but i still managed to make 4 layouts and 1 card.  I think it helped that there was a 30 min challenge and a "musical page" challenge.  That last one was interesting enough, we each started a page and after 5 min we'd pass it to the person to our left, we were 5 at our table so all 5 did something on all 5 layouts - not 1 came out looking similar.  Mine ended up very eccletic, i had just arrived and hadn't unpacked yet so i just grabbed a stencil and some ink, i did some ink drop on the too but used a paper towel to absorb it and it smeared, looks a bit like a nose bleed but other that that i like it.

 this is the "musical page" layout. see what i mean by nose bleed...

K-time

here's what i know was used...

washi tape, dylusionals, Balzer design stencil, Ranger distress ink, AC thickers

the 30 min challenge - i'm finding this one a little too plain so i think i'm gonna be adding something; maybe some clouds using a texture medium - i'll repost it when i'm done with it

365 cards sketch challenge

here's my card for the weekly sketch challenge at 365 cards.  This card came together very quickly.  I used a plain craft card base, 3 of the 5 ribbons from a Crate Paper ribbon pack and a coordinating 3d sticker embellishment from the same collection.   I stamped in Memento (tuxedo black) ink the sentiment "wishing you ...tranquili-tea" with a Stamping Bella stamp.  

thanks for stopping by,

i'm a color runner...maybe more of a walker

yup it looks like so much fun that i had to sign up even though i'm not a runner, nor a jogger.  It's only 5K and i'm hoping i'll be able to run at least 3 out of 5.  I could walk the whole thing if i wanted to it's really mostly for fun.   and its so COLORFUL, how could i not do it!

wish me luck, it's on october 13th!  I've been walking/jogging at 3-4 times a week (since last week)
