Linnie Blooms Mixed Media Blanks

Mixed Media.. have you tried it?  I am just starting out, and it is so much fun.  My canvas piece is from Linnie Blooms.  When you are ready to create you can find this size canvas and so many more here:  http://linda-barutha.squarespace.com/shop/

Linnie Blooms also has a facebook page and a fabulous blog, come check it out! https://www.facebook.com/LinnieBlooms  The other girls projects are amazing!  They inspire me every day.  http://linnieblooms.blogspot.com/

I started out with this square piece of canvas.  Painted it with white gesso, dabbed it with mixed yellow and white paint and let dry.  I stamped my image on it and then  I painted it in with Stickles and liquid pearls.  I used heirloom gold Perfect Pearls mists after everything was dry all over my project.

This is actually a mini album, and the blank is perfect for my cover.  :)

Mini album cover page

I wanted to try something a bit different.  Usually its a card for me, but this time its a mini album.  I have to admit, after making the first page, I'm stuck.  However, I really like this cover page, and will add to the

inside when I can think of just the right thing.  Why rush a masterpiece? ha ha ha 

All of the pieces you see here were given to me by Anne Luper (thank you Anne) 

The background paper is really just one piece of paper that had all those patterns on it.

I am terrible at mixing patterned papers and NEVER would have thought these

three would love good together.  So I really really love how it turned out.

Vacationing! Mackinaw City

Soo...  I decided to do one of those online contests, where you take a photo of a place in your state and why you enjoy it, and I won!!!   The travel bureau sent me 2 overnight stays for Mackinaw City, and a round trip to beaver island.  We didnt do beaver island, but did go to Mackinaw City.

Here are some photos from our trip.  

Mackinac Bridge, hubby looking through the telescope thingy, and parasailers.
  Why didn't we do that? LOL Cuz we would be screaming our fool heads off !  lol
