Just a Quick Calendar Note

I know I haven't been a good blogger friend. I haven't had much to say since I am still in a holding pattern. I am not sure why we haven't moved yet, but I hope to find out soon.

We are going up to Kansas City today so the kids can see Daddy and I can get the lay of the land. I probably would stay there longer than the holiday weekend, but James will be getting his tonsils removed on Tuesday. He has "kissing tonsils." (Sorry, but you will have to look it up if you are interested, I am on my way out the door and don't have time to get a link for you.) :-)

Before I go, I decided to share my June & July calendar journals.

When I get back I will be sure to visit everyone else who shared on The Kathryn Wheel.


This page still waits for some touches of colored pencil, but that will have to wait.

July awaits to be filled. I am looking forward to good things.

Have a great Fourth of July weekend my dear American friends, and the rest you, have a good fourth of July...if that makes sense. :-) See you around the blogosphere.

Ooh I love the hand drawn look of your pages. The blocks of colour on July look great.
Not sure what kissing tonsils are but it doesn't sound good ... Hope it goes well :-)

I Love Tissue Paper

Image
If you saw my Discipline collage , you can tell I have a thing for tissue paper. I have used it make inchies and to paint mountain/sunset scenes. Now I am working on some ATCs . I have done some before using the same cardstock I am using this time. However, I am tired of this background and want to alter it some how, so here's where the process went. (Note: I did try it on some sample-sized pieces of cardstock first so you might see those pop in from shot to shot.) I began with a plain piece of cardstock (it is supposed to be green/yellow.) I lightly drew a line on the card. I then squeezed some glue onto the card (don't ask why it's blue...that's another story.) I used scrap piece of stock to spread the glue to get a perfectly straight edge. I laid the tissue paper onto the wet glue and pressed out the bubbles. (You could use a brayer, it gets messy.) I trimmed the excess tissue. (I have torn it before, too, for a different effect.) After the glue dried, I took the c...

I'm Baaack...At Least for a Bit

Long time no post. So what brings me back? Quirky Dutch Summer . Week 1 has me making my own art journal.  This sent me on a field trip to Hobby Lobby where I found quite a deal on journals, canvases and a pad of primed sheets of canvas. (More than 75% off.) I then dug through a very old stash of acrylic paint. All of my art supplies are in the garage after I cleaned out my office for Thanksgiving a year and a half ago. I needed room for a long table. I also didn't want my company seeing my messy workspace. I've not brought much in since then. That's what I'm liking about Quirky Dutch Summer. It has me playing in my art stuff again. I have no plans this summer and my youngest is about to leave for cousin camp, giving me plenty of time to get my hands dirty. So let me show you what I've made. First I painted the front of the canvas. Then I painted the back and let them dry overnight.  I folded the edges over and glued them down. I used Aleene...

No Turning Back

Image
That title makes me think of a song we sing at church. "I have decided to follow Jesus....No turning back, no turning back." This time, however, it has to do with pushing the finalize button on the Expedia website. I finally purchased tickets to fly to Norway this summer with my friend Peggy. This was an idea I conjured up a couple of years ago after making contact with a friend from Norway I met 16 years ago when he was traveling around the US. Peggy heard about it, I asked her if she wanted to come, and surprisingly, she did. Ever since then, I have been working (teaching summer school and selling Mary Kay) to pay for this trip. I think if I hadn't made plans with Peggy, I wouldn't have ever had the guts to actually go . Peggy - World Traveler Everyday, I would go on line and look at the locations we could explore when we got there. I even have an email that I occasionally pasted ideas into to send to Peggy to let her know what we could do in Norway. I bought a boo...
