What am I like?!!

The answer to that is quite clearly someone with a slightly warped sense of humour! 
I've been wanting to enter the challenge at Our Creative Corner since it was set by Alison but somehow couldn't decide on a song! I do tend to sing or hum to myself most of the day whether there's music playing or not! But choice of song.....
Eventually settled on 'Everybody Hurts' - the REM song...no...too depressing....'Imitation of Life' ...same again - although both of these songs were ones I would sing on my way into work at a very bad time of my life!
By this time I had no more time to do anything at home or at the caravan - outings etc! Came home and suddenly an idea - my Lynne Perrella stamps - all those grumpy faces! They needed cheering up so turned to my journal - the page already had mop up splashes of red, yellow, orange so stencils out with Copper and Brushed Pewter distress stain and some dribbly bits to boot!!! I stamped the faces by using Distress Markers to pick out just the faces and stamped them onto random scraps from a scrap folder, some more Brushed Pewter around the edges!

 I used the computer for shiny and people and an Artistic Stamper word 'Happy'.

Now do they look happier?

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    An absolute delight, Chris - this put a big shiny smile on my face... Yes, the default expression for LP women does seem to be a little grim, but the metallics and that rosy ruby background have perked them up no end. A great interpretation of the song title - thank you so much for playing along with us at Our Creative Corner!

    What a brilliant choice of song! I had never thought about how the LP ladies seldom smile! I love what you've done with them! This is a terrific journal spread: it certainly made me smile! Julie Ann xxx
