Lulu the Owl - Canvas

Heya awesome bloggy readers!!!

Today I have a canvas to share with you. I LOVE painting, it is one of my most favourite things to do!

I haven't shared any paintings here for awhile, I'm not sure why? Anyhoo I thought I'd be brave and try and share more.

I was so very lucky to have been gifted Juliette Cranes "How to paint an owl" class. It has REALLY helped me one into a more freeing style of painting......really just using my fingers mostly and letting the art just flow :) You can find her class HERE (it's worth every penny). Her style is amazing, so organic and whimsical!

Anyhoo here is my first attempt at an owl:

Her name is Lulu.....she suits it don't you think?

Thank you so much for checking out my blog!

I hope you have a FABULOUS week :)

Love and Peace xox

CSI Scrap 365 Case File #2 - I heart vintage books

Hey Hey Hey :)

I hope you are having a FANTASTIC weekend!

CSI had teamed up with Scrap365 magazine for some special case files! I have finally gotten around to playing along with one of them.

When I first saw the colour combo, I must admit, I really didn't think I could work with them. But once again I've realised getting out of my comfort zone results in lot's of scrappy fun AND I found out I really love working with those colours!!

So here is the awesome case file:

Here is what I came up with:

(I have scrapped about my love for vintage books)

Layers:

How lubbly jubbly is this Purple Pumpkin flair button? I have also used a cute felt flower as well.

I have also shared this over at the Purple Pumpkin blog as I've used lot's of lubbly jubbly pp goodies!

Here is the super fab case file:

Here is what I came up with:

My journalling is tucked into a clear pocket under the photo on a kraft tag. It reads: "We get asked all the time if we are going to have any more children, and we always say no. People think it's quite odd, but we are so very happy with our family of three. We are just so contented & just adore our little trio. We are able to do everything together & we wouldn't have it any other way!!".
