art journal challenge - week 15

SORRY THIS IS LATE!!!

the weekend was crazy (but a lot of fun) full of classes - i planned to post last night (sunday for me) when we arrived in raglan - a small surf town here in new zealand...we got VERY VERY lost and got in really late...finally today i have found a little internet cafe 'corner' in the local video shop and i can post! i am loving being here...will have to give a run down in another post with some pics, but the scenery, the weather, the people and the FOOD have been wonderful so far!

i have something fun planned for next weeks challenge which i started yesterday with some of the gals in my class...but for now i will leave you with this card...

this weeks prompt is: your parents
what do you think of when you think of your parents? what have you learned from them? what is your relationship like? take one aspect of your parent/s that jumps into your head right now and run with it for your card this week. on the eve of my 28th birthday (eek!) i think of the love and support these two have given me separately and together for all these years and i am so grateful to have them both in my life.

i glued the photo onto the card - trimmed and sanded the edges. stamped onto the little ticket and stapled to the card. extra journalling on the back :)

have a great week everyone and i'll try to post some pictures and reply to emails soon!

WHEW! I was starting to get faint from lack of new prompt! LOL This is going to be a challenging one for me for sure.

I am freaking out Em! I had no idea you were soo much younger than me! You are 5 years YOUNGER! I don't like finding this out! LOL

Oh, and before I forget (I am a TOTAL airhead), here is my card for last week...

So close to home Em, and yet still so far. Does that mean that your birthday will be in NZ? You'll have to celebrate it again when you get back on home turf. I've been to Raglan, cute town. LOVED the sea there. SO wild.
I'm still working up the courage to share my cards. I love doing them, but I'm not sure I love them when they are done...

[Carly]

Here is mine for this week. Enjoy your vacation...

[Kim]

Whew! Finally finished last week's and did this week's all in one sitting. So glad to be caught up. Here are mine:

Happy Almost Birthday! I love the photo you chose. It's so sweet. This challenge has really become such a happy spot in my life and brought a lot back to me that I had abandoned for a while (drawing and painting). Thanks Em! Just love you!
I am going to try scrapbooking this parent one for the first time instead of painting this week. Until then, I made an extra bird card from last week's theme that I just posted.
Have fun cute stuff! Here's my other bird card...
