Peek-E-Boo


I wanted to create a page that captures how my daughter says peek-a-boo or should I say peek-e-boo.  I had a lot of fun playing around with this page and managed to captured some photos of my progress as I went along.


First I chose my photo and paper.  Then I got out some water color and started to paint.  At first I made some clouds, but they were looking rather sad so I just made and "artistic" blob.  You can never go wrong with blobs.


Instead of putting my photo on top I decided to cut out where I wanted it and laid it underneath.  It definitely adds a new look without a lot of effort.


I then made these half chevron shapes and cut them out.  I worked my way down one of the water color strips and made some more water color blobs and put them behind each cutout.  I was a little disappointed that the lime green dried more yellow.


Then I sewed on some clay embellishments.


I had my sewing machine out so I sewed around the photo and around this flag.  It was too much blue at first so I cut another smaller flag out of the paper and sewed it on top.  That flag was lonely so I cut out another flag from the watercolor blobs.


I glued my tittle down and did a little bit of journaling and I was done! It really turned out to be a fun pages.

Fish Finger Glove Puppet

I just love being back east and being with all of my family for Christmas, but I don't like the travel and I really don't like the germs.  We managed to bring back with us some lovely east coast germs.  Little Moose took it the hardest and still is a little bit sick.  Anyways, I finally got the chance to get back onto my computer and I just have to share with you what my sister-in-law made for us.  There are a bunch so I'll share one every day this week! I love the bright colors of the fishes!  Each glove puppet came with a poem.  They are just to cute!

Scrapbooking, Adore

    Every once in a while, I make a layout that I absolutely love and this is one of them.  I think it might be the rainbowness of it all that I love.  This is really a random photo of my daughter that I took while we were waiting for the bus.  I played with the photo on my phone and made it more rainbowy.  I really like how it came out, so I printed it out for my project life, but then I decided it needed its own page.  It really is a random page for a random photo.     This is my page for the Memory Nest . The circles on the sketch were my major inspiration.  I felt that they would make a fun background.  At first, I changed the circles to triangles and then I noticed all these old frames on my desk.  I'm a chipboard frame hoarder. lol.  I thought most of the frames were really ugly or they had patterns that I would never use.  At first, I was going to just paint the fram...

Valentine's Day Wreath

Now that the Christmas decorations are down, it is time to make some Valentine's Day decorations to put up! I have seen some in the store, but it is much more fun to make your own.  So here is how I made my sweet heart wreath. First you need a hoop (the one I used had about a 7 in diameter), 7 big wooden hearts, 8 small wooden hearts, paint, glitter, ribbon, and some hot glue. I took all my hearts and painted them a solid color and then went back over them and made some patterns or outlined them. I thought they were looking a little boring so I went back and put some glitter on random ones. Then I went around and hot glued the big ones and tried to make them as evenly spaced as possible. Then I hot glued the smaller ones on top of the bigger hearts, tied some ribbon, and then hung on my door!
