our new very creative Jan is
What makes you smile ? :-)?
Close your eyes for a few minutes, relax and think about something that makes you smile..............
It could be a special person, a favourite place, a quote, an incident, the list is endless!
our June challenge is to create something that will make us smile, it could be a scrapbook or journal page, a canvas, a tag, whatever your imagination dictates.
My first thought to this theme was my dog for many years.
As he was a puppy he had always fun to pull out the laces from our shoes.
He no longer does this, but it is always something new thought out, it never gets boring ;-)!

white Gesso DecoArt Media Medium
Distress inks faded jeans, vintage photo, walnut stain + Mini mister + water
