Pick-a-stick July challenge

For those of you who don't know,

the Pick-a-stick Challenge is a facebook group challenge.

I joined it a while ago, 

then summer happened

and 

you all know what that means, right?

Anyway today I not only managed to clean the kitchen 

but I also got to sneak into my crafty place to play!

Here is the page I created.....

I started with a page I really didn't like 

and went with the prompts (below)

and the page looks so much better.

As you can see this is the July challenge.

At least I gave myself a day to spare! 

LOL

I hope you were able to find time to play in your crafty place!

Happy Crafting everyone!

Happy doodling

Hi everyone! 

As usual, 

it's been a while since my last blog post.

On the plus side, 

I am having a wonderful summer! 

Maybe, 

if I can get my act together, 

I will post some vacation pictures! 

Today I wanted to show you a journal page that I did recently.

So this started out, 

day 1,

with me simply playing with 3 paint colors that I dripped onto my page.

Didn't exactly have a plan but not sure I liked the results.

So, I thought why not add another, brighter, color!

In came the bright yellow dotted with my finger tip. 

Why not add some black too!

Pods and leaves!

Ok,

I don't like that! 

Let's try some bright pink in the pods and some bright green for the leaves! 

NOPE!

Don't like that either! 

What to do,

what to do! 

While trying to figure that out I got out a piece of sea sponge,

used it and an old credit card to use up some of the paint on my table.

And,

now I have another mess!

UGH!

Day 2

Ah hah,

book page! 

I"ll cut some to fit inside the pods and leaves! 

Yay,

I like that better but not quite there yet!

Day 3

I really don't like it so why not just doodle on it, 

what could it hurt?

Nothing!

That's right! 

No pain,          

             just gain! 

I like it now!

Doodles to the rescue!!!

Woo hoo! 

I'm so glad I didn't give up on it!

I think I have to add the word "Perseverance" to the page to finish it off!

What do you think?

Hope you are having a great summer!
