From the heart

Wow that a week it has been! I worked on my next journal prompt  (from the heart)  and I think I'm finished with it..but are we ever really finished?

I chose a two page spread

Here she is holding a little card


With a message inside

For this project I used gesso, matte medium gel and liquid mixed with acrylic to create a matte glaze, acrylic paints,crackle,gold leaf foil, stayz on permanent ink pad (black), 3 rubber stamps, pitt artist pen xs in black. ( I want more colors) I also did an image transfer with wording using omni gel and a transparency sheet. This didn't turn out so well as I was impatient and smeared it. Pretty simple but I do like how it turned out.

I enjoyed this journal page and can't wait to start on my next one!

I have good news to report, I worked all day Tuesday 9 hrs. on my feet and ordinarily my back would hurt so bad after that I couldn't move the next day but I really think the little blue balls are doing the trick! I was up and at 'em Wednesday and was out running around all day no problem! YAY!!!

For me this is huge!

My husband finally purchased me a new laptop and I'm trying to adjust to Windows 7. So far I really like it, it's very user friendly. I can't wait to dive into more programs and see what I can create. No longer will it take me a million hours to wait for uploads! Doing the happy dance!

Now I will go enjoy the rest of my Saturday, busy busy day ahead! 
Everyone have a beautiful day!

About Me

My photo
So this is the part where I tell you about me. Hmmm well, I'm Lori, mother of 4 grown children, wife of one very kind and patient man, fan of coffee and smoothies, reading others blogs, connecting with friends. I'm obsessed with cars, music and art. Lover of animals as you will see tons of pics of my fur babies. I live in the exciting state of Kansas. No Kansas is not all flat, just most of it! I have been a hairdresser for over 25 years, 12 of which I taught. You can usually find me texting on my phone, watching a good movie, reading a good book, diddling in something artistic whether it looks good or not,playing in the garden, doing hair, cooking,shopping online and dreaming about all the things I think I need but never buy,messing with my car or out and about just driving because it feels good. or just being out and about with my friends or family. I made the dream of Salon ownership happen and I am now a proud grandmother of Loren born July 17, 2011 :-)
