We stopped at a little rest stop along the Nantahala RIver. I wanted to just sit on the bank for hours. It was just so peaceful and the river is so beautiful...

I used the off-cut from these Wilna frames as a stencil and painted the squares with my Peerless watercolors. That is a miracle in itself. I bought them at least 10 years ago and had never used them until today. The little frames and flowers are those I cut out yesterday using my Silhouette!!! The tag has been in my stash for about 5 years. I layered and layered it and used a word sticker from who knows when. Can you see the Gold Lame Color Shine spray on the frames? This page has a lot of gold on it and not one speck of glitter. I know!

Great use of those tags & frames! Love the gold and that cluster you added.

Fantastic. Love your color blocks.

Those blocks remind me of one of my fave CS papers. Love this. You'll have to explain to me how the cutter works because I expect it's very similar to the Wishblade (which I still have no idea about how to use).

Thanks. I'll use those blocks again, I'm sure. I think they're beautiful. The watercoloring is so fun and so easy.

Pam - I wonder if Kerri Bradford could give you a resource for learning your Wishblade? She's very nice. There's no way on earth I would have figured out the new software on my machine without a class. It's no longer intuitive for anyone like me - who isn't tech-savvy in the least. You have the advantage over me there. Shoot out an email to her (google her blog).

I do plan to bring my Silhouette and spend some time cutting out images.

That's a beautiful layout, Pam! and all the new/old things you used are very exciting! it really is fun to drag out the old stuff and find a spot for it.

Pam, I love your use of old stuff mixed in with the new from Wilna. And hooray for dusting off that Silhouette!
