Delight in Life.
My bathroom needed a little something.
I have had these prestretched canvases in my closet for awhile, just waiting to become something. The other night I decided it would become an inspirational piece for my bathroom.
So very simple.
I used a strip of masking tape to cover up one portion of the white canvas. Above the tape I painted green. Below the tape I painted cream. Two coats. Then I removed the tape.
I used 7gypsies rub ons for the little black details. I handwrote "delight in life." The word stickers come from Making Memories, Die Cuts With A View, and K&Company. The black circle stamp is from Savvy Stamps.
Do something creative today.
Also, there was a question yesterday about my camera. My main camera is a Canon Digital Rebel with a Canon Fixed 50 mm lens (1.8). I love this camera and this lens.
And Melanie asked about how I keep my quotes - working on that one right now - more to come.

I have been enjoying your blog after I discovered it about 2 weeks ago. Thanks for the inspiration. I am also a fellow Oregonian, but living just across the river in Camas Wa. Looking forward to more entries.

Ali, your ideas never cease to amaze me, where do they come from? Do work hard at something new, or does it just hit you like a bolt of lightening? You are such an inspiration.
Oh yes, I am desperately awaiting a 1 1/2" square punch, so I can scraplift your gorgeous Christmas 2005 LO. It's absolutely fab :0)

Had a quick question that I've been meaning to ask: what pen do you use to write on textured cardstock??? Every time I try it, my handwriting looks like I'm having an anxiety attack!!! What pen did you use for the handwriting on the canvas, too??? Thanks for the tip!

Hi there! A friend told me about your blog ... I love it! :) What a terrific way to create artwork for your bathroom. Maybe I'll try that in our guest bath ... we're doing a botanical theme in there. Thanks for the idea! Happy New Year! :)

Hi-
Whatever happened to your Christmas art journals - the one with the circles and the Shimelle class journal? Will we ever get to see these? I personally would love to take a peek!

Very cool. I was also wondering about the moisture effects.
Can hardly wait to hear what you do with quotes and all that misc. stuff. I'm currently re-organizing my room.
