Canvas Beloved Album

Sometimes I wonder why it takes me so long to do some projects and some I can do in a flash!  Seems to me like the ones I actually have instructions for are the ones I procrastinate with.  I wonder if that has something to do with following rules?  Maybe I'm not a rule follower.  Hmmm....

Well, here is a finished project that I started from my class with Donna Downey from back in June.  See I really was procrastinating.  I decided to make this album with photo's from my daughters ballet recital since the colors went perfectly together.  Here's the outcome.  Sorry about some of the photos, this was hard to take pictures of because of the size and color variations.

I'm so excited because Donna Downey will be coming to our local scrapbook store A Scrapbook Store and More in January to teach a few classes.  I can't wait.  She's so much fun.

If you are interested I'd love to see you there. :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Donna Downey Class ;)

On Father's day weekend I was lucky enough to be able to take two classes with Donna Downey.  Four of us went to The Village, FL to She Scrapbooks for the classes with Donna. It was lots of fun!  Donna is a great teacher and motivator.  She's has a great personality and is very funny.  I truly enjoyed it.

She's such a hoot!!! I could sit and listen to her chatter all day!

Or, like Donna said "I hit my wall".  I did learn one important lesson.  Water is my friend.  I bought a new big spray bottle when I got home.  Needless to say at the class I had this tiny little one that kept running out. Adding water to the paint and canvas is great!

Here's one completed album.  The other is a big beautiful pink one that I need to finish and add photos so I will share that later.
