What a day !

Saturday was our local crop. We had the chance to have Lisa come and teach us how to use mist and paint. So many of my friends are far too scared to use paint so it was a real treat! Lisa took me right out of my comfort zone using colourful paint and asking us to "splatter " paint all over the page. It took me a while to get used to it but I like the end result and my friends'pages were truly beautiful and sooo different from what we normally do. So again thank you.
I managed to do three pages. The first one was for Sketchy Thursdays. Here is the sketch...



Here is my page..





I like the pictures of Harry so much, I thought I would keep the page very simple. I love the colours and the little buttons my fantastic super duper sister ( yes it is my birthday soon, let's keep her sweet !! ) bought me !

The second page I made is for Once upon a Sketch. I love this web site as it encourages you to write and it is what I like best about scrapbooking, remembering a story or a thought. So here is the sketch...




And here is my page...





The story is about Harry and my mum going fishing. They enjoy it so much ! Even if Harry only caught three shrimps that day !! ( probably three sad little things that felt like committing suicide ! ) but he still loved it. Them two get so excited when they go down to the beach in their gear. A bit like when I get close to TK Maxx or a scrapbook shop. You can hear their hearts beat with excitement and anticipation !

Last but not least, the page I made with L:isa. I thought I would enter it for Creative Scrappers. Here is the sketch..




And here is my page...




Well, that's it for today, lesson in a few minutes, have a nice day..

Anne
