Playing in Paradise #73

Welcome back my Paradise friends!!  Are you glad school is over?  I know I am.... we get to sleep in and wake up whenever we wake up.  That sounds great!!  Although I have one kid that I watch three times a week and he gets here about 7:30, so that's not so bad.

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog. This week's challenge is brought to you by Angela.

I am so impressed how this one turned out!!! I have always wanted to water color but  can never get the hang of it.

What you didn't know...... is that I did three before I figured out to go lighter.  It took a while but the end result is so worth it. 

And I have been coloring ever since!!!  Just wanted to show you how I store my Distress Inks.  I used an old water color case  to hold all of my Distress Ink refills (just a drop or two) and it doesn't dry out.  When ever I need to use it.... it's ready and no waste.  You just have to make sure your brush is clean before moving to a different color.
 Hope you will check out the rest of my team mates for some ideas.

Playing in Paradise #72

Happy Friday my Paradise friends!!  Isn't it exciting?  Only one more week of school and we are off!! I'm excited.... but I know it will only last a week before I'm wishing they are back to school again. I'm just hoping it will be a hot summer.

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog. This week's challenge is by Allison and it's a sketch challenge.
I only did 90% of the sketch..... there's no more room for the yellow strip across.  I started this about 2 weeks ago and I just couldn't get my mojo going.  I'm very pleased with the end result though.
 Hope you will check out the rest of my team mates for some ideas.
