You Make My Heart Happy



TCR # 41

Have finished my stint as a Revolving Door Artist at The Colour Room. I had such of fabulous time and it was so much fun. The palettes really took me out of my comfort zone... I only had one bright palette out of the four!!!

This weeks palette has some yummy colours, but I didn't have quite the right pp's so I decided to focus on the gorgeous Prima blossoms for my colour. I dragged Brittany outside to take a few pics as we have the most beautiful Geisha bushes with the sweetest little purple blossoms which I thought would go beautifully with this palette. She hasn't been happy with me lately as I have been dragging her all around the surrounding streets to take pics of all the gorgeous flowers that are blossoming at the moment. What can I say I LOVE flowers!!

I misted the white Bazzill cardstock with Tattered Angels strawberry shortcake chalkboard ... these mists come up beautifully!! I found an old Daisy D pp in purple and the frame around the photo is also from Daisy D. I decided to stamp the heart with black stazon on acetate to get a lovely deep black and finished with a few Kaiser pearls and CI epoxy butterflies.

Meeting Colleen

I had a lovely time today meeting Colleen B, who stopped by for a visit with her family while she was here on holiday. It's always wonderful to meet someone you have chatted to online in real life. We spent the afternoon through til the evening chatting away while Brittany kept the children entertained on the Playstation. Unfortunately I don't have a photo to share as yet as Colleen snapped one just as she was leaving, but will email me a copy when she gets home... mind you I had a look and I have to say it wasn't a flattering photo of me at all, but Colleen looks lovely!!

Sneaky Peaks

Here is a little peak of some work for a guest spot that I will be able to show you in Feb.


Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love :)

  14. Dearest Cathy, oh wow your layout here is just stunning and I want to thank you for your calls to me, they meant the world to me when things were tough for me. I awoke this morning with a renewed energy and it is because I have missed seeing your gorgeous work and cannot wait to catch up. Dear Brittany is really getting a work out with the kiddies minding, when does she go back to school, I so hope I can squeeze in before then because Nate loves her and I do too, I just have to get around you to be super motivated to do some layouts again, this is just amazing, thank you again for all your support and please ring me if you get the chance, lots to tell, we are still cleaning up here but now I do it with a different attitude and even with a smile on my face. Love to you all. Melxx
