Happy Today by Tammy Klingner

Good morning everyone!   It's Friday already which means it's my turn to share my latest layout.   This week I had a play with Jillibean Soup's Healthy Hello Range. This range really is happy, bright and fresh.  

  I'm really enjoying painting with acrylic paints onto my pages. Since attending the escape2create retreat in Port Lincoln, and doing classes with Wilna  Fursternberg and Louise Nelson, I have been really embracing my paints.   My paint of choice is Dylusions. It's much easier than it looks. Just smear it on, with a bit of water! But don't forget to spread white gesso before you apply your paint.  

    I added some texture paste with a stencil and then layered up using a few layers of papers,  and a heap of the awesome die cuts. I also added some 2Crafty Chipboard Leaves.  

  A happy layout celebrating some of the wonderful connections made at the retreat. It's really an awesome feeling to be in a room of other creative who just love paper and  scissors and paint as much as you!  They just get it.  And get you. No further explanation needed really.   See you next week.   Products used: White Bazzill Calypso Teal Dylusions Paint White Linen Dylusions Paint Jillibean Soup Healthy Hello Paper - Aged Aloha Jillibean Soup Healthy Hello Paper - Cup of Ciao Jillibean Soup Healthy Hello Paper Herbed Hola Jillibean Soup Healthy Hello Pea Pod Parts Jillibean Soup Healthy Hello Paper - Bite Size Bits Heidi Swapp Navy Colorshine Kaisercraft Stencil - 12x12 Floral Quarters White Gesso Texture Paste
