i thought last weeks inspiration wednesday was fun...this weeks took me like 20 minutes and was the best free spirited and creative rush i have had in a while. it would be doing the page a dis-service to say i love it...because i am over the moon about its simplicity and messy goodness!
and i apparently have a new word, sploosh? i like it, lol!
ok enough swooning over myself, watch the video!

Loving these pages....and the machine sewing. Had fun with my great grand daughter(10)today, we made paper flowers and cut out butterflies. She went home so happy.

You're just too cute! (Donna Dowbey?) These pages are so much fun - I'm still in cleaning/purging the craft room mode but boy when I get done...I have some pages to create!
Posted by: pamc | July 13, 2011 at 09:12 PM
Last week and this weeks pages are my favorites. Loving this style. Love the inspiration. Thank You
Posted by: Teri | July 13, 2011 at 09:18 PM
Definitely inspired to leave my well thought out comfort zone. I'll give in to the whimsy and create impulsively ... very out of my norm. I may even sploosh a little here and there too.
Posted by: Mellisa | July 14, 2011 at 12:03 AM
This is just pure splooshy goodness perfection, totally ROCKS!!!!!
Posted by: karen | July 14, 2011 at 12:17 AM

Appears that you have taken a side path from Crafter Road down Artist Lane - I am virtually enjoying the trip and can't wait to take another ride next Wednesday. It wouldn't be as much fun if the car was silent but you keep chatting away and make the trip SO FUN to ride along with you. Thanks so so so much!

Thank you for the inspiration! My 4-year old daughter fell asleep on my left arm while we were watching together (It's not you, it's her nap time!), but as soon as I can escape, I'm off to create!
