Paint Dreamer

One day while I was organizing in my craft room I came across some "puff paints" I had bought and used on a T-shirt for Vanessa...some time ago! I started to throw them out when I just as quickly had the thought that Kennedy would enjoy playing with them.

The next time she came over I let her do just that! Here is the layout.

To jump start my creativity I looked at the sketch from Sketch Inspiration provided for Cat's Creations Customers. The left page of this layout out is "loosely" based on this sketch.

Here is a close up of of the left side of the layout.

The design papers I used for this layout are from Fancy Pants "Childish" collection. For the background I used the paper "Recorder". The letters for my title are from the paper "Blocks". I cut out the letters I wanted to use for my title and then matted them with cardstock. For some interest I put chipboard behind the letters to give it some dimension.  As an extra touch I put a large bling on the letter "i". The blue circle with stars is a paper filter embellishment that came with this line. The decorate strip under the title is from the paper "Childish Things Strip". I just love the picture of Kennedy's hands spreading the paint on the paper.

This is the coordinating page. I used some more of the paper filter embellishments. I pleated the filters then added a button with twine. The strip with the word "dreamer" is from the paper "Childish Things Strip". I then added 3 buttons with twine.

So Deer to Me

This is a card I made to send to Remi. I used sketch #154 from Operation Write Home.

I just love this sketch and used it to make a some Easter card for Operation Write Home. You can see it here.

For this card I used Fancy Pants Blissful Blizzard collection. The deer is a Technique Tuesday Stamp as is the sentiment. I colored the deer with Twinkling H2O's, Chestnut and Heavenly. I then cut the deer out and used foam tape for dimension.

I've also been working on making a new spine for a scrapbook album. I always add pages to my albums and some of the spines are not big enough so I decided to try to make my own as I don't want my album to look like this....

This is the album without the spine.

It's not quite the way I want it yet but it's getting close. I used some canvas paper from Teresa Collins Sports Edition II and glued it to grunge board to give it some durability and flexibility. Taking my Tim Holtz Distress inks (Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade and a little Vintage Photo. I rubbed my ink pad on my nonstick craft mat and added water. Then brushed it on the canvas paper. Once I get the desired look I will punch holes in the spine and put in the scrapbook.
