Hello everyone..
I am guardian for my little Gran daughter so her Dad can come visit three days a week in the afternoon for 1/2 hours or so and it is working really well, and I get to see the little tot on a regular basis..
Any way I had her last Friday and we had YouTube on and we were singing...she garbled and I screeched so it was very entertaining..one song I had always loved was the Beatles singing the Octopus's garden song, so we sang that over and over and then I made this...
I have so many dies and just love using them for every project if I can..
I love under the sea projects,probably my favourite theme..
A water paint background again, I only have 5 colours and by mixing and matching find I don't really need anymore.
Micro beads, love them too...and vine dies from memory box going up!..
A closer view of those teeny tiny beads which go for miles, so I make sure I use my anti static bag thingy to stop the static..die cut shells from Marianne creatables..
The whole page sprayed with Imagine Sheer shimmer craft spray..
And here is the whole scene..I loved making this page too,page number 2..

You always make such amazing scenes Chrissy. This one is fantastic. Love all the colours and detail. Must be lovely spending time with your grand daughter. Have a lovely weekend. Big hugs, Carol S.xxxx
Sometimes it's incredible what inspires us, whether it's a song, a painting, or someone's blog. This is a fabulous journal page, Chrissy and beautiful under-the-sea entry. I'm really impressed and will be singing that song all night, I fear. I agree you DO have a lot of dies and you certainly use them to your advantage. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at Art Journal Journey.

Stopping back in to say thank you for sharing this gorgeous design with us over at Cute Card Thursday my friend! HUGS
wow you are sure rocking your mixed media and I am sure loving each post you do Chrissy...the only trouble is, now I am singing that song in my silly head....oh gosh you amaze and inspire me.xxx
This is such a fun and awesome creation, Chrissy. The colors and all the under the sea elements on this page are fantastic! Love the cute octopus and those beautiful sea shells. :)
Wow I just love this, I wouldn't know where to start with something like this, but it sure looks like you had fn, hugs Pops x
I love your magical Octopus's garden... a great way to use those die-cuts on something other than a card - they look like they're having almost as much fun as you clearly did, both singing and creating!

I work In a nursery school and we used to sing 'yellow submarine'. The kids loved it.
