art journal challenge - week 23

hi!

so what is going on with you right now? your life, right now. this week, this day, this year, this moment. tell me what is happening! actually, tell your card!!

this weeks prompt is: right now.
i will never be exactly where i am right now again, so i'm going to write a few of my 'right nows' to remember just how i am feeling at this time in my life. right now i am consumed with thoughts of my new baby, wishing that moving could be as easy as snapping my fingers, and desparate for some energy!

this card was made in several stages, when i had different stuff out and was making backgrounds for cards. first i blobbed vaseline onto the card and painted over the top in the lilac paint, then wiped when it was dry to get the peely paint look. next i layed my 'homemade mask' (cardstock with holes punched in) over the top and spray painted to get the polka dots. i stitched the red making memories trim to the side. little date label sticker is 7 gypsies, not sure where i got the blue label, and brand new 'love, elsie' rubons that i got a few days ago!   

have a great week!

What a gorgeous card Emily! and a perfect theme for me at the moment, seeing as life is in such turmoil from week to week, not knowing what will happen from one day to the next.
I have'nt kept up with the challenges because I have'nt had my scrap stuff with me but I'm going to take some this week and get these last 3 cards done.
Love your last one too as I can knit very well but never learned to crochet either.

Another great challenge, Emily, thanks! Your card is perfect.

I was hoping to slip this one from last week in under the wire, but you beat me with the new one. Oh well, here it is, better late than never!

Great card, Em! I especially love the little figure with the heart on her tummy - how appropriate. I'm going to try to stay caught up now - I should do this one this afternoon. Thanks for your comments on my blog, too :-)
