More creative play...

 

Took out my art bag and started playing with paints and stencils on the 3 hour train ride from Brussels, Belgium to Frankfurt, Germany.

I can't think of anything more relaxing than watching the landscape go by and painting!

I get to hang out with Tina and peter today...two of my most favorite friends to visit in Germany and will be teaching at their store this weekend!

Classes are full (50 students in each!) and she brought in golden products and PanPastels, a rarity to find in a scrapbook store in the US let alone Germany. Whoohoo! We are gonna get some serious messy, fun, creative play on this weekend!

Missing everyone at home! Love ya!

Happy birthday Melissa!

 

Many of you have met Melissa, she is our fabulous studio manager at donna downey studios. Today is her birthday and since we are away and can't celebrate it with her we thought it would be fun to have a virtual party for her on the blog!

collage monday

i just cant help myself, i get started riffling through my rub-ons and i just start putting them everywhere! i used lots of my new masking tape (right from the dispenser, HAPPY PLACE!).

the striped paper is from a large sheet i bought at paper source years ago, the bird stamp is from cats life press, the rub ons are from everywhere!

i'm really having a lot of fun in this journal!
