Hello Dear Stamplings!
I'm finally feeling like I know what day it is now that I've been home a while. Does that happen to you after a holiday? You think every day is Monday or you're a day off? Being a day off can be either really awesome or really bad. Much better just not to know what day it is.
But then your friend calls from the restaurant and wants to know where you are. I'm not saying that happened, but it did. Oops. To the waiter's credit, he didn't even look at me funny when I showed up with toothpaste in my hair.

Whaddya say we just go float around on some ocean waves!
A simple embossing folder made the backwater waves and Simon's "border waves" made the forewater waves. The Ziggie-watercolored sailboat is from Poppystamps. After assemblage, I felt it needed a little somethin' somethin' so I drew the white stitching on the waves.

Speaking of ocean, I had to share a little more from my amazing time in Vancouver with Lolly, Nancy, Susan, Christine, and Trina.
While together, one of the many techniques we played with was something called "dirty pour." It was sooooo cool watching the paints co-mingle to create cells and magical artistic panels. I personally think it should be called "pretty pour!" You can find videos at Loll's site if you'd like to know more.
I have several pieces from this fun technique to share as I use them on card designs, but today I wanted to share this oceanic canvas I poured:
I love how the colors moved about on the canvas. Can you see the sea lion / seal? White body, two eyes, and a nose? What a fun surprise to have develop right before our eyes!
And here are a few more photos of our special time together. These photos were all taken by Loll's talented SIL Alex while we happily crafted away!
And a few more from my camera:
