Attitude Wall Hanging

I created some art. Can you believe it? It seems like it has been forever since I last felt like getting messy and letting the creative juices flow. I found this wall hanging at a thrift store for $1.99 about 6months ago and it has been kicking around my craftroom every since. I was finally inspired today to do something with it. It was a very shiny brass so I Alcohol Inked it in several colours just to give it some depth. I than Glimmer misted the "base". Found a picture I liked and a quote that spoke to me added some vintage goodies and voila I am done. I think I like it.

The quote reads:I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow. If I fail, if I succeed, at least I live as I believe. "Greatest Love of All" Whitney Houston

I love the picture of Kayne just enjoying the day. I knew I didn't want this layout to have a "little boy" feel to it but I didn't know what direction to go either. I definitely don't mind stepping out of my comfort zone so I tried some of Wilna's paint it mentality. I am not sure yet if I like the layout but I don't hate the results so I guess that is good. I will try painting again on future layouts as I did have fun creating this one. The chipboard letters have crackle paint,perfect pearls ink and glossy accents.

The Fall Issue of Canadian Scrapbooker is out!!!! It's on the shelves....run don't walk to get your copy.  I am so excited to be featured  in the Passport to Creativity!!! What an honour.I freaked to put it mildly when I opened that email. :) :)  These are the 3 LO's that I created for the issue. I stressed over my Bio and felt a little "nerdy" answering my interview questions, but when it's all said and done I am very proud of how it all looks and reads. I want to send a big SHOUT OUT to my friend Karen of KMP Photography for doing my head shots and scraproom photos too. Bird Call was created with Bo Bunny and some vintage goodies. I used my hole punch distress technique to finish it off. I wish I could Freeze Time consists of Graphic 45 and some yummy Tim Holz items. Toes is my last page. It has Basic Grey and my all time favorite photo of 2009. Now who else was is this magazine????? How about checking out my friend Kate ...she was featured in Pas...
