kenner road revealed last night...GORGEOUS kits & the launch of the embellishment kit (which i got & LOVE!!!)
here is what i've got so far w/ this month's kits...
there are some gorgeous colors & florals in this month's kits...i need to play some more :)
and today is a new word up over at onelittleword...i also used my kenner road kit for this one...but i surprised myself & actually went a little nutso w/ the spray ink & masking techniques i learned in dina's art journaling class a bit ago...& it was SO fun!!!
& as for my page...for me, i think sometimes i ask "why?" WAY too much...i get stuck...stagnated trying to search for the who, what, why, when & where's of everything...digging deep is fine & good, but sometimes i just need to let.it.go...move on...stop asking so many questions & trying to figure everything out...life has it's way of showing me & teaching me just what i need to know, when i need to know it...i need to trust that more...let the "why?" go just a bit and focus on the growing part :)
i created the page using my kenner road kits (yes...the SAME july kits that i created the pages in the beginning of the post...crazy, huh?) plus some gorgeous embellishments from zva creative. they are the generous sponsor this week & i loved using their adorable felt flowers and rhinestones on this...the felt took that spray ink like a champ...& the rhinestones are SO sweet & tiny & gorgeous...love it...
i've been really inspired by donna downey lately & really admire that she is always pushing herself to try something new, not just play it safe in what she has down pat...i'm going to try to do that more...push myself creatively...wish me luck :)
hope you have a wonderful wednesday!!!
come back tomorrow for another giveaway :)

amazing G! Your "why?" art is fantastic - the colour, the texture, the message - just amazing. I also have to say - the photo on "love this" is like a glimpse into the future there - I just can't believe how much Kate looks like her Dadda!!! If she's half as cute as him when she grows up look out!!
If you don't mind me saying - your photog skills just keep getting better and better :)

I like how you arrange those buttons on the first picture, it looks like bobbles floating. So cute!

I love the last photo. The paintings techniques are clever. I love to try these painting techniques.
