Got Paint?

A little while ago I did an online course called "Got Paint?" taught by Emily Falconbridge, over at Big Picture. One of the techniques was to masking tape the background and paint over the top. I had so much fun doing this course and playing with my paints.

Creating With The Girls

I am on a new art journaling adventure and so I have been having a play with my paints! I have taken some time to paint with my girls instead of next to them on my own project... Here are some colourful abstract paintings we came up with together!

Bliss

This is a gorgeous photo of my little princess and I really wanted to make this a pretty, girly page. What a sweetie pie! I used some goodies from Tattered Inspirations, some paper from the Kaiser range "English Rose" and some bling to match.
