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!

Thanks for another great prompt, Emily! And your card inspired me to use some red and pink :) Love it! Thanks for the inspiration!

And as usual, I'm writing and writing... trying to write down my thoughts in English... Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say :)

Yep, this one was good for me. My Finnish daughter is getting married in 2 weeks time in Finland and I am not going to be there. So Right Now was a great card for me to rid myself of a little bit of my sadness and I believe I am just about caught up again. thanks Emily. Love that polka dot lady, is she a stamp?
