Loving the texture and layers on this, absolutely perfect :) and the drippage it makes me so happy and adds so much. Never likeed it 'til 'Fun with Fabric' and now nearly every painted project has to have drippage.
Your new CHA goodies are gorgeous, thought I had ordered almost everything, don't know how I missed your 'Elle Collection' of flowers. I need to place another order :) How big are they (the ones used in todays video)? Booked my place on your canvas heart album class in London, so excited to meet you and be taking one of your classes in real life!

Why CRUSHED Olive and not just olive? I wonder if olives are a different color when you crush them...

Just wanted to say thanks again for the great classes in Tucson! I finished my album from the Friday night class with pics of my husband's skydiving adventure and gave it to him for Valentine's Day. He loved it. You would be very proud of me - I didn't use masking tape to make any more straight lines - I just went for it ;-)

Gorgeous pages! I love the idea of using canvas pieces so I'm definitely going to buy myself some - and some Crushed Olive DI too.

WOW!!! I could watch you do this over and over. What is the red "paint" and twine that you used? it looked as though the twine kept it's shape when you moved it into loops. I LOVE this page! Thanks for sharing...I have sooo many ideas and new things to try now!! THANKS!!!

Dear Donna, I have discovered your fabulous videos and since, I have one idea : to do a scraplift of this page :-)
It's done, and it's here :
