Mixed Media album - Merry Christmas in July

Christmas in July seems to have made the big time

and more people are celebrating.

Here are the grandsons representing in their 

favorite grinch shirts.

I love the grinch.

So the pink and the red - meh - this was a premade

page that needed a photo - so ignored the red and I concentrated on

all the greens and got to USE a lot of stash.

Yasss!!!

Didn't need a lot of journaling and if one opens

the file folder

 (a die cut which makes me swoon) 

there are some TH sayings...

Love how fun it turned out.

Of course I'm last on the bandwagon

Painted rocks.

Passe by now I'm sure.

Sigh.

Anyway it was fun and of course I did the grinch

because I had success with that bad boy on a card.

I also found relatively flat rocks in the last camp we were in.

They were calling my name.

There ya have it.

Pinterest & the Grinch

I had a blast doing this card and totally

surprised myself.

I do not have a lot of confidence in drawing

my own stuff so therefore, 

 when I make cards, I punch, die cut, stamp

and fussy cut  but never "draw."

But, once again pinterest comes through and I love it.

 I actually free-styled those eyes, brows, and most

importantly that Grinch grin.

And don't forget the nose.

I totally surprised my bad self.

And that makes me wanna do more.

This card is another favorite of mine.
