Paint Your Dreams

5/22/2016

Before I post today's Digital FREEBIE I wanted to post a picture of the card I made using the paint brush that was last week's FREE Digital Image.

I printed, cut and colored three paint brushes. I squiggled ink from the paint brush to look like dripping paint and then used Glossy Accents on the painted areas. I used the Pages software to print the sentiment on the front side. Since it's a graduation card I made a pocket on the inside of the card to hold money or gift card.

This week's digi will follow shortly.

So....what can we design with a paint brush digital image? What about a get well card "Paint your way to feeling better". Or, color the paint brush blue and say " Paint away the Blues". What about a birthday message that says..." Have a colorful Birthday. My plans are for a graduation card and it will read..." Life is art, paint your dreams. My paint brush was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest.

You can download the FREEBIE digital image of the paint brush all day Sunday. Click on the FREEBIE Tab and go to SUNDAY Digi. Click on FREE and download the image.

Enjoy! And y'all come back now.

COLOR MY WORLD

What these three words describe is my best friend, Karen. We were friends for 41 years until just recently when she passed away from Alzheimers. Karen ALWAYS colored my world with love, kindness, understanding and the ability to listen and not judge. Karen was ALWAYS there to support me no matter what the issue. She truly was a "big" sister and a best friend. And most of all we had loads of fun exploring life together.

Whenever we were together you could always count on a memorable event. We had a friend that moved back home to Oklahoma and Karen wanted to make a video for all the people that touched Lyn's life including all her favorite things in the town where we lived. She borrowed a video camera. At the time the cameras were very large and very expensive. This was a $3,000 camera and since she was technically challenged, it was up to me to carry on as the camera lady. All I could think of was what happens if I break the thing.

We spent the day taping and laughing and having fun driving around from town to town visiting friends, Lyn's favorite shops, restaurants and parks. Karen wanted the video to look like a movie. She took a roll of old wallpaper and draped it over the top of a door. She proceeded to write the credits on the paper and as I filmed, she pulled the paper down the back side of the door moving the "credits" just like you see at the end of a movie.

Now it was time to watch the video. We laughed so hard we cried. Several times while filming I forgot to take off the lens cap and all you heard was the two of us talking and laughing.... no picture. The video at several spots wiggled up and down from the car ride. It made you feel sea sick from the motion. And most hilarious was the sound of the wallpaper being pulled from the floor over the top of the door. It sounded like a dead body being dragged across the floor. Film Makers we weren't! Karen wanted something special for Lyn so she wouldn't miss what she left behind. Karen always Colored Everyone's World. I sure miss my best friend.

This weeks digi is FREE. Visit the FREEBIES section and download it all day Sunday. Hope you enjoy it.

Y'all come back now!
