Simply iRESISTible

 Wow another week has flown by and I am very happy to report all has gotten fixed since my last post. The new furnace is a dream but we actually don't need it on at the moment as we are having our true Indian Summer with highs in the upper 70's and -get this-80's F tomorrow!!! Yippee!

 First a bit about the alpacas I shared last week. I have since learned that they will only spit either when they feel threatened or want to show their dominance. An easy way to tell if you need to beware is if they have their ears down/back. Wish I had known sooner:) Looking back at the photos it was very evident which one was going to be a problem:)

 For my T Stands For Tuesday peeps:

 This is a 5" x 5" calendar that came along with the large one I got at the Dollar Store. Perfect to have by my computer. Already starting to fill some things in for 2017:)

 Had some time to play and make a mess in my art room yesterday...

 I made some gesso resist backgrounds for cards. A favorite technique of mine and perfect for the Simon Wednesday Challenge this week which is "Totally Resistible".

 Here are a few of my finished cards:

 I used too many stamps (old ones too) to mention as well as lots of Distress inks. Tags, stickers and embellishments are Recollections. You can see more cards along with a tutorial about the technique in this post. 

 And for Art Journal Journey (theme is Indian Summer/Golden October/ Autumn); Moo Mania and More! (theme is drips and splatters); and later this week Paint Party Friday I have this journal page to share:

 Definitely inspired by Dina Wakley:) The large leaf stencil in the background is Balzer Designs from The Crafters Workshop.

 Thanks for stopping by-see you soon! Leaving you with the quote I wrote on the silhouette:
