I am sitting here listening to my favourite songs at the moment, while I write this post! Oh man, what would life be without music!!!! I am just loving Phillip Phillips....isn't he just super!! ;-)
Anyways, I have a page to share with you for the Sep OUAS challenge.
Journalling Theme: "Lucky"
So here's my take on it.
I really wanted to do some watercolours on the background and make it a bit of a grungy page. So I experimented and was happy with the result! Gesso, watercolours and lots of stamping!
I used MME Indie Chic papers, stickers and chippies and stamps! Along with that I used a Kaisercraft stencil, Basic Grey chippies, a Bo Bunny stamp, Prima and Petaloo flowers.
My page is about these 3 children that are cousins! I have done some pages in the past about these 2 girls, that Joe is so lucky to have! They are more like his sisters than his cousins and the 3 spend a lot of time together! The girls are patient and tolerant of him and really look out for him! He really does love these girls and is always eager to spend time with them! I am so pleased that they have each other and I hope that this closeness will continue into adulthood!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hope you have a happy Tuesday!

Aw, your Joe is lucky to have such wonderful cousins. What a sweet page! The colorful, artsy background really suits the theme of childhood friendship (cousinship?? I think I just invented a word!). :)
