winner is sandi from aus
i will foward your email onto emily!
so awhile back i took some photos for emily for her big picture scrapbooking class. thought they would be fun to share.
i was never one to use paint for my scrapbook pages. im too lazy. i thought it had to be a huge production with lots of brushes and cleaning up of brushes. but after watching em paint it made me want to do it too. and i realized anyone can do it if i can! i love the little bits of paint she adds to her layouts-they make everything so personal, so her, so custom made and artsy looking. she totally got me addicted to paint. its so fun to walk around with paint on my hands, letting me pretend i am an artist. and somehow it makes the whole art of creating more for me.
i told her i was going to share the photos i took for her, and she thought it would be cool if i did a giveaway. so, i get to giveaway one free tuition for her class “got paint”, which i think will be so great for anyone who wants to dip their fingers in…i know the lessons i have learned just by watching her have changed what i do. and while her style may not be yours (it isnt mine either, im much more graphic and linear than her) i have always just adapted what she does to fit me.
so, post a comment and ill draw a winner tonight!
she left this little note on my driveway that day, which i love, but im sure my stupid home owners association does not.
Now THOSE are some cute baby feet — delicious little toes!
I would love to take Emily’s class too!
I have to say your photos are awesome. And I have been an avid reader of Emily’s blog for a bit now and find such inspiration there. I think I just need to learn how to “step out of the box” more and let my inner child play lol
love the just amount of detail and blur in that second photo! :)
I love to paint. I actually rarely do it on my scrapbook pages, but I get an itch for a canvas once in awhile and then just have to get it out. :)
love the photos!!! I’d love to take the class. Thanks for doing this.
I love the cute little painted baby feet!!
A second chance…!
Love me some paint!! and to heck with the HOA.
Pick Me!!!!!!!!!! I haven’t used paint in years! I’m too intimidated now! LOL
Thanks for posting these — I never use my son’s footprints because I don’t want to deal with ink…but I hadn’t even thought of using paint! Thank you!!!
emily does have a magical way with paint :) -angie
I’m so very excited about this class, whether I win the free class or not!!! I have wanted to try my hand at painting, but just need that little push to get started!
I too, love the phrase, “Just Be”… and painted a coffee mug at the local ceramic shoppe with it on! It was my ‘chill’ mug… and boy do I need to keep reminding myself to chill these days.
Take care Tara… enjoy your blog. Merry Christmas!
Love the message she left, her writing is gorgeous!
Awesome photos Tara!!
Love the note..just be is awesome
LOVE LOVE LOVE those photos!!!!!! Makes me want to go and take pictures and paint right now.
I would love a chance to take Emilys class. It looks like so much fun, and I have a drawer full of paint just ready to be used.
