I have been playing catch up with my wanderlust course - I found my computer couldn't play the videos - its been a real pest recently too -not allowing me on different websites too! Anyway, I bit the bullet and got hold of a new one. Now I'm not sure it really is what I want - but at least I can watch the videos now! Anyway - one of the things to do was a second book prompt - we had to do a page inspired by .....what I really want is ... I also wanted to address the hearts challenge over on the paperartsy blog. Here's what I came up with!
I created a painty journal page by brayering different opaque chalk paints onto my page then I did some stamping and stenciling and mark making with white paint.
Next I stamped and fussy cut the cog hearts and added them.
I added some script too ... and a picture of my hearts desire - my late husband!
Such a gorgeous man - miss him every day!!!
I would like to enter this into the paperartsy topic-2-hearts-challenge.
I'm looking forward to a run with my friend Emma this morning, followed by coffeepot - Diana is in charge today so I can sit back and play! I then have my regular visit to the gym to do some weight training. Should keep me out of trouble!
Have a great Monday!
Big hugs
