Inspired by Disney... and it's so hard to say goodbye!

It's with great sadness and a heavy heart that the entire E-Team begins this, our last, blog hop.  Alas, our fearless leader, Daisy, has embarked on an exciting new adventure in the realm of Disney.  Although we are all SO THRILLED for her to begin her new dream job, we're so sad that our journeys along this creative path will no longer be concurrent.   This is a fabulous team with SO MUCH talent and enthusiasm for their art.  I will miss working with them SO MUCH!!  Love you girls!

Here are the blog hop details:

• Visit each E-Team blog participant and leave a comment. Comments can be left from Wednesday, June 27 - Sunday, July 1.
• There will be a winner chosen from each blog, and Daisy will have an extra special prize at the eP blog.  Winners will be posted on the eP blog on Tuesday, July 3.
• Here's the blog prize I'll be giving away:

To honor Daisy, our theme for this blog hop is "inspired by Disney".  We were to choose one quote from all of Walt's wonderful quotes throughout the years, and use it to inspire our journal page.

I chose a quote that is probably Walt Disney's most famous….

***If you can dream it, you can do it.***

I think the sadness of this finality had an effect on my creativity.  Although I had a great time creating this page, I felt a little underwhelmed in my enthusiasm.

I started by using Claudine Hellmuth matte multi-medium to attach a book page to my journal page.  Next I stamped the beautiful image from Donna Downey's She Said stamp set.

**You can click on any image to see it full size.**

Next I painted her skin with a mixture of Studio paints - traditional tan and modern red.  After that dried, I painted art masking fluid onto her entire image to protect it for the next step.  You can kind of see the yellowish film in the photo.

I took several more Studio paints and randomly painted the entire page.  I did create some circles by holding my brush in one place and simply twisting around in a circle.  I knew I wanted to do some doodling!

When the paint was thoroughly dried, I took an eraser and starting rubbing the edge of the dried masking fluid.  It peels off for the most part, but I did use the eraser to be sure I'd removed it all.

I know it looks like a mess in this photo, but after all my doodling and more painting, it turned out just fine.

So here's my final page showing a girl with all of her colorful bubble dreams.

Can you find the Mickey Mouse silhouette?

Now I'd love for you to check out what my creative and wonderfully talented E-Team sisters have created today:
