Romance was in the air as I made this journal page! You weren’t expecting romance at A Colorful Gelli Print Party were you…well neither was I! I just kept staring and staring at these blues – I do love blues. This is just experimenting around with lines of colors in misc. ribbons and [...]
Welcome to day 2 of A Colorful Gelli Print Party! My family has come to accept the fact that I have abandoned them for the Gelli Plate this week. Truthfully, the teenagers are not too upset to be left alone and I wasn’t really going to do much housework this week anyway… When you [...]
