Nat Kalbach's Stand Up Bass Blog Hop


Hello!
Welcome to Nat Kalbach's Stand Up Bass stencil blog hop!

Nat Kalbach designed a series of really fantastic stencils for Stencil Girl Products and asked some friends to help spread the word.

I am so lucky to be included in this group!

Here's the blog line up:
Nathalie Kalbach

Wowwy wow wow right?
AND most awesome? There's a give away! Post a comment in each blog. Each comment is chance to win for a total of 5 chances. NO you don't have to be nice- at least not to me- tell me how you really feel- I'm cool with that. The drawing will be August 27th at midnight. Good luck!
If you joined last week's typewriter hop you know that I'm a scrapbooker and former New Yorker now trying to survive the suburban jungle that is Salt Lake City. (lol)

I read a good quote this morning: if you have time to complain you have time to do something about it.
"SO THERE!" Said my brain to my ego.

My page for this hop has everything to do with the self induced stress moving has caused.
I thought I loved change but apparently that's only so when I get to choose what the change is. (and as "change" means staying in Brooklyn- like moving to North 6th street)

A great opportunity landed on my husband's lap and he's happy- so no more complaining!
ACK! The loss of real pizza... and the subway... and The Brooklyn Botanical Garden.. (WAH!!!)


The Temptations are a favorite song group. This song is actually a huge part of my childhood.
Along with Micheal Jackson, Prince and New Edition (and Menudo) you got a healthy dose of 50's flashback music. Every time I see this stencil, the first stanza of this song rings in my brain.
Sorry for the super cheese-o-la journaling. I wrote the first freaking thing that came to my head- it's hard to reveal how negative my thoughts have been- especially when being GRATEFUL is how I should feel.
I also made an art journal entry.
I'm NOT great at art journaling.
Entries never make this blog because they look like Kindergarten projects.
Actually I've seen plenty of pre-school projects that look better than what I do in my "journal".

I enlisted help from an expert:

Mom let me play with her washi tape! WHOOP! WHOOP!
Naturally I moved some of the paint off but it was her idea
to use the green and silver tape.. and to spill water all over the place.
The resulting page:


I was throwing the left over bits of paper in the garbage when it struck me that they looked sort of like Picasso collage bits- if he went in for pink and cute. I also used Nat's What's The Point stencil.
I changed my scrap page after doing this. I added the yellow paint to the background and like it much more now.
Your next stop on this hop is: Maria McGuire

Have a great week!
Michelle
