Well, it went into the trash .. that is UNTIL I decided to give it another go..yep, had to fish it out of there and..
gesso the heck out of it..sanded a little...let it dry well.. great texture..whipped out some acrylic paints and really didnt know where I was going with this. I havent bought dp in a very long time..but saw this pretty blue pad by "Kathy Davis " in JoAnns' and wanted to make something with it for my sis in law. She LOVES her condo and she prays more then most people I know..for me too :) oh, and her favorite color is blue..her favorite saying is "home sweet home"..
Thanks for looking! Hooking up with "Paint Party Friday ",
"Creative Every Day" ,"Simon Says" anything goes, Thanks for Looking!

Really nice Jane! Your sis-in-law is going to love it.
Jane, this looks great and Krisha said it right: from trash to treasure!
I could bet your sis in law lives in the house on the left hand, 1. floor, right side. ;-)

Me again, just read your comment. I do hope you join ICAD, it really is a great little warm up for the MOJO, and they are turning out kinda cute, great size between an ATC and a post card.
Thanks for all the visits to my blog and all the love you leave me! ;P
Love how it turned out!
She's going to love it too!!
I love these houses and patterns and flowers and so nice that you have it framed and ready to hang. I can see why you wanted to use these lovely designer papers, you've used them well.
Jane this is gorgeous, I would love to live here too! xx
Woohoo, what a transformation!! Goes to show, never to throw anything out! Love what you did with the canvas, it turned out stunning!! Hugs Frea

Phenomenal! I've recycled "messed up" canvases tons of times! This is just a wonderful piece!
