Pink Saturday - Worry Free

I wanted to show you a picture of Lillie Louise in her  Pink party hat for Pink Saturday.

but she wasn’t quite on board with the whole idea! 

So instead I’ll show you a bit of my journal from my lettering  class I took with Cindy at Paper Cowgirl.

It says…

”that birds of worry fly over your head you cannot change but that they build nests in your hair you can prevent”. Using an old book I chose shades of pinks mixed with blues and dry brushed the book pages.  The clear alphabet you see is the neatest little trick Cindy taught us.  It’s just a photocopy taped to  packing tape soaked in water and magically the image stays and the paper rubs off.  We drew the nest in Madam’s hair and stamped the little bird there.  (She did not heed the warning!)

The next page is a wonderful truism…”we are shaped and fashioned by what we love”

This fabulous looking nest is a cutout from a napkin adhered to the page with Golden’s medium paste.  So, today I got the book out and embellished it a bit more and worked on the opposite pages. 

I think I’ll use this journal to write favorite quotes and poems.  Starting with:

What dreadful hot weather we have!  It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance.  ~Jane Austen

After visiting Beverly at How Sweet the Sound and all the bloggers joining in today….stop by Cindy’s Yapping Cat Studio to congratulate her. Some of her creations have just been published in Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Crafts that just came out yesterday. Way to go Cindy!

Take Cindy’s advice and have a worry free day!   xoxo Nancy
