I'm taking an online class this week with Vee Jennings ("Delight" workshop)... involving a lot of misting/masking/paint. It's something I've wanted to get better at & she's the perfect teacher on that subject. The class has been inspiring, but coming up with the time to create something is another story. So far, I have a cover. I might have more, but my first cover that I completed on Day #1 just wasn't doing it for me. So, in the trash it went. Thankfully it's a small mini & shouldn't require much time to complete. The whole getting messy part & not worrying about making it perfect is my challenge. But... that's why I took the class... to learn & get out of my comfort zone.
In the meantime, I've finished a couple other projects that were due & am still waiting for my August Hip kit to arrive! I was hoping it would arrive before the weekend so I could get a bit completed with it. We will be out & about for the better part of the weekend. My sister asked to take Bryn & her cousin, Sydney, to dinner & the movies + keep them overnight tonight, so Bob & I have "date night" planned. We have dinner plans + a room Downtown tonight. Yay! Tomorrow, after we pick up Bryn, we have a picnic to attend around lunch time that will probably last for a good portion of the day. Not sure what's on the agenda for Sunday, but hopefully it will involve time to complete a few projects. We shall see!
I hope your Friday night is DELIGHT-ful, too!
i think that turned out FABULOUSLY! a lot better than i could ever do!
i just finished a layout using my glimmer mists, but unfortunately... i don't like how it turned out. YIKES. i'll post it once i finish writing my blog entry.
hope you have a great friday!

you are crazy!!! Girl, that is sooooooo sooooo pretty! I love the hearts and the colors!! I guess I should be thankful that I LOVE getting messy. I know that that is hard thing for some people and alot of them NEVER get over it...or even TRY! so, I am very proud of you. I just think the cover is so pretty, sweets! You have nothing to worry about. And I am still not thrilled about my cover...I do like it better that I added the 9, it made me at least content. And then look, I had to go and add more to page one and two, as well! haha I guess this paiting this is good b/c you can always keep adding more layers until you like or if you throw it away, you are not throwing away alot of good pp and embellishments.
ok, the end.
I SERIOUSLY LOVE THAT! LOL
