I really need to get going.... NOT keep putting off doing this! No artistic vision at all but maybe just play with some of the techniques I am seeing and loving...
Today begins the next decade of my life... Need a kick in the butt!

Have you noticed that the "O" in color look like eyes - the L is the nose and the C and R make great ears!

Donna I always love what you do .... but in this video I really saw you let loose! You enjoyed yourself. LOVE it! And I love the spread! Can I just copy it? LOL....
Oh the circle stencil I believe came from Random Arts ... I got the smaller one because the big one(that you have) sold out. Very quickly. Maybe I will get one this year at Inspired!
