65 CSI Challenge - Unique

These colours just screamed little boy to me....so fresh and vibrant.  I'd love to see you over at CSI to have a play.

I decided to play with some new Dylusion spray paints and had a lovely, messy time. I used four different ranges, My Mind's Eye, Kaiser, October Afternoon and Bo-Bunny and they all played happily in harmony....love it when that happens.



It was fickle day with the weather, when I went to photograph this and I just could not get the October Afternoon Button without glare.  So here is a close up. I was aiming for a mottled effect on the alphas by using both yellow and black paint.

EVIDENCE

Stripes - on the buttons

Circles

Mini brads

TESTIMONY

I used the inspiration words Interest and Personality

THE JOURNALLING READS

At 26 months you have definite ideas about how life should be lived.  You remind me of a miniature version of Hercule Poirot where all is order and method.  Unlike your brothers, you are fascinated with toy cars.  You line them up neatly in rows and when your twin scatters them out of place, you patiently restore them to their designated position on the grid. You have great spatial awareness and love to play with puzzles. You always put things away when you’ve finished with them; something I have not seen in a child before. I wonder what sort of career will interest your shy personality? Maybe something which requires great attention to detail.  Perhaps a career which has not yet been invented? Whatever you choose, I hope you find it challenging and life giving.

Orange Paperie - March Challenge

I have been promising myself to get involved with this challenge every month.  In the blink of an eye the month goes by and I haven't quite achieved my goal.  The challenge was to use hexagons and do some stamping.  There is one tiny bit of stamping just under the photo and I turned to hexagons into a patchwork flower.  I think I just scraped in before the end of the month.  I've scrapped a photo of my DGD when she was about a month old.  Thanks for an interesting challenge.

I will add a list of materials soon.

Scrap your Story

Two uploads in one day, what is the world coming too?

I was honoured to be invited to guest design over at Scrap Your Story week four.  Thanks Christy. The techniques used were wet and dry embossing.

Mostly I use those techniques for card making, so it was a fun challenge for me to try.

The dry embossing is on the blue cardstock behind the photo and the wet embossing is on the title and the star.  Both of the images were stamped before sprinkling with embossing powder and setting with a heat gun.

I kick started my mojo by referring to a sketch by Scrap Friends, but did not follow it exactly.
