OH NO! Is Rhonna's 21 Day Challenge really ending?!

Just as well....maybe you'll spend more time with me instead of in your studio!

21 Day Challenge. My goal of this challenge was to begin the Couch to 5K program. This meant making walking a habit to begin with. I can't honestly say that walking has developed into a full blown habit for me. I walked more than I have lately, but I didn't stick to the "program" very well. I am; however, confident that it soon will be because this past Friday, I re-joined Weight Watchers. I am a lifetime member and am about 30 lbs over my goal weight. Drats!!!! No wonder my pants don't fit! :-)

In addition to getting some health issues under control, I had a blast doing the challenge because it finally got me playing with lots of paint, ink, pens, and paper. I got some ideas that were stuck in my head out and onto paper. I did a lot of experimenting and that is such a good feeling!

I am also so excited because I made some wonderful online friends that I'm sure I will remain in contact with. That is such a fun component to blogging! Happy.

Day 19

Experimented with corrugated cardboard as a stamp and also used some Wholey Cow rub-ons.

Day 20

I used a lid of a metal tin for the hole pattern but other than that, not terribly happy with this train wreck. Maybe if I hadn't used black in the background, the elements I was adding would have popped out more.

Day 21

I used a flower stamp that I carved in a class on this page. I used black acrylic paint as the ink.

I was happy with how this page turned out which is nice seeing as how this is the last page of the challenge.

I am finishing this challenge with the feeling that I discovered some techniques and looks that I will want to use again. I am getting closer to discovering my style!

I hope you all had a wonderful challenge and I wish you all peace, joy and success in your life!

Aww, Atty is so adorable. Happy Easter, my Dear G's! I wonder what delectable vegan delights adorned your table today.
Do you have a computer at home? I guess you must. I'm "slaving" away here at work but only for two more hours.
Love You!

Great pages, Michelle :) Love the flower stamp and the different layers. I have the same thoughts as you do about the walking. I'm not sure it's a permanent habit, but I'm seeing it in a better light now
