@faerywings Thx Chris. I am soooo happy for Jen. She has been stressed about B, even more than usual lately, b/c of the medication problems and behavioural changes and soon she is going back to the neuro unit for a few wks for more assessment and treatment. So this happy time was really needed...

Good morning ladies. I'm tired this morning, didn't go to bed until around 2:30 and then up at 6 but then I lay in bed and just rested until 7:30. Jen called us last night at dinnertime and said she just won $46,000 at the casino. It is some kind of province-wide special random bonus that can be...

Just a quick hello. I had some software issues this morning with work stuff so that threw my work schedule off and of course in the meantime I still had to do all the dog stuff. The rest of my day will be busy with work but that's ok. I'm not working tomorrow and then catch up day on Friday, so...

1. What is the worst movie you've ever seen? The Perfect Storm with George Clooney. We watched it on New Years Eve when it first came out and I didn't realize that it was not going to be a "happy ending" kind of movie. I was so frustrated and feeling bad at the end that I just sat there, shaking...

Good morning ladies. The power went out last night but was on when I awoke this morning. I'm going to get to work early today knowing that the strong winds can knock the power out again at any time today so can't expect the computer to stay on. Thousands are without power today so the storm is...

Gorgeous clustering and I like the vertical text stamping.

Check gallery instructions as often there will be written instructions on how to achieve the look, that might give you some ideas on what you might want to try.

Night at the Roxbury is one we watch whenever it comes on. It’s a fun silly comedy. A few others I’ll watch over and over are Saturday Night Fever, Flashdance, Moulin Rouge and A Star Is Born.

Yes, I like to invert a photo mask and paint it back on to emphasize a portion of the photo and changing the blend mode too. I admit I don't use watercolor brushes too often but I do want to start playing more with them.

Yes, good tip about "not" merging down.

What a love diagonal design! I like the bit of lace on the edge.

Love your sweet blended photo and great texture and paint used on this!

This is gorgeous! Love the paper stacking and clustering.

Love the curled photo strip and the scribbles, paint and text stamping on the background! Gorgeous page!

Love that alphabet card and the scribbles!

That a lovely page! Love the floating leaves and butterfly...so pretty!

I like the look of a photo clipped to a mask and then a frame placed overtop.

Do you? I love to add additional brush layers and/or masks/overlays to a mask. I'll often take a mask and duplicate it numerous times, rotating and resizing it, then merging them all together before clipping the photo/paper to it. Do you use masks often? Do you manipulate/alter them at all...

Good morning ladies. I was out in the yard watching Remi chasing after the hummingbirds as 3 of them were chasing each other around, swooping low and then flying in circles. She finally gave up and starting chewing on the leaves LOL. The rain has stopped but not for long. It's been a wet couple...

Love the pink edging and the stamping on the background...so pretty!
