Canvasgeddon part 2

Here's my second canvas I've made in as many weeks. I made it for my friend  Emilie who was visiting from BC. I love her dearly, but I'm soooooo bad at keeping in contact. Hopefully this will be a good reminder that I still think of her even though I really SUCK at calling! The fact that it's a truly terrible picture of me should show my level of devotion too...lol.
Canvasgeddon part 3 will be up soon  as I've hopefully making a new one tonight since the girly is away and I have all this spare time!

The summer is flying by at a dizzying pace. I was lucky enough to have a few weeks off the month and spent some time with the princess herself playing tourist in our town, swimming , visiting friends and family and, of course, shopping.
 I did no scrapbooking what-so-ever. I did however make a few cards and two canvases.
The first canvas is using Momenta products for the D-lite team this month. I started to make a little tutorial and quickly changed directions, so I present to you my half baked tutorial....lol. Here's the finished canvas:

I adhered the strips of patterned paper with gel medium and added gesso to soften the pattern. I wanted a soft landscape look. I used some flower rub ons and some cool new black metal birds (available at Michael's, you have to try them!) that I covered with blue Glimmer glaze.
Afterwards I painted on some turquoise and green acrylic pant. I sealed it with Liquitex Resin Sand medium to create an interesting texture and added some distress ink.

I used some white alpha stickers for the quote and added a bit of paint and ink goodness to blend them into the canvas...and voila!
Here's the 411 on all the cool Momenta goodies I used:

Free to Be Me Paper Pad PA-2263
Design and print alphas ST-4516
Glitter rub-ons RO-1853
Sparrow Metal stickers (love these!) 17476

Happy Thursday and stay tuned for Canvasgeddon part 2 coming soon!

Long time no post!
The princess and I are settling in to our vacation nicely. We had her birthday party yesterday and ot was great, exhausting fun. Originally we planned to go to Centre Island for the day, but thunderstorms forced us to make alternate plans. Instead we had lunch at a cheesy (but fun) Chinese buffet restaurant and went to see Ice Age. Four girls, eight hours...you do the math!
I got tonnes of awesome pics this being my fave:

The girls popped out their 3D lenses to make some fun nerdy glasses!
And last but not least I've got a new Momenta layout to share! I took this lovely picture of my Mom and Sid on Father's day when the fam headed down to the Distillery district:

I whipped out my Cricut for the first time in ages the other day and just played with stacking shapes. Momenta paper is the perfect weight for cutting. I can see many more projects being created!
