Love pink and grey

I don't know why but its one of those cool

color combinations.

And the little Martha Stewart doilies. 

I had 3 in my stash and time for them to be used up.

The MS butterfly punch - best purchase ever.

And look at those 4 photos.

I have done one or two separately on pages

long time ago, but in rifling through the wayback box

I found four.

And it shows the progression of my little snit.

The majority of the supplies are Studio Calico and

the papers are from this month's kit.

Just delivered on Monday.

And I couldn't wait to break into it.

I have been watching Kittyscrapper's videos and she's 

a freaking hoot - not to mention a very fun scrapbooker.

So my background pages reflect that.

She uses a back paper - cuts a hole out - mats the photos with that

and adds a "front page". 

I decided to try it and its a great time and it does use up supplies and 

adds a bit of a pop.

I love her English accent - she makes everything sound cool.

I have also signed up for May Flaum's use your stash

and I have been wanting to use those

transparent alphas FOREVER.

They finally worked although I had to frankenstein some letters.

May's class is fun and informative and

actually have done the last few pages with those tips

and tricks in mind and forgot to mention it.

Why? I've just been feeling off my game lately and now

having "A DOH" moment.

Sad, really.

Ever feel like that?

Now I have to figure out how to link her up.

A couple of project teases going on...

Just to keep things interesting. Which means I've got nothing. LOL!

However, I was playing around whilst waiting for paint to dry and ta-da!! A couple of projects going on.

So stage left is some gesso and gel, awhite tag, medium and sweet potato bag mesh. Which is different from onion, potato, avacado mesh. They're great to have laying around.

So I laid out the orange mesh on the tag and slopped a mixture of gesso and gel around it.

I didn't have the presence of mind to photo the above - but below is

a photo of the texture the mixture made. Looks kinda neat although I either needed to use more or less. I'm not experienced enough to know at this point or any point really. I'm doing a lot of guessing.

 I broke out some adirondak alcohol inks and mists and some Heidi Swapp mist (which again you'll have to use your imagination because I didn't think to photo the process) because well I was playing around.

I really love the result - now all I have to do is figure out where to go from here.

Suggestions anyone? 

This bingo card has been laying about for centuries and felt the need to do something. Again.

So I broke out my tea dye varnish and went at it. Again, I know your imagination is by now running amok. :) 

As you can see I didn't do it evenly over the card because when paper and such ages it doesn't do it in an even fashion and I wanted that kind of look for the card.

THEN I had to wait for them to dry. Sigh. lol!

NOW I just need to figure out where to go from here. 

AND........

I visited HL tonight and picked up some chipboard and a new packet of paper to use for

the baby album. It'd be soooo much easier if I knew pink or blue LOL. 

However, I picked up the 8x8 of the Glitz Color Me Happy

and it has lots of happy happy happy primary colors and fun things

that I think will work well.

AGAIN.......

waiting for paint to dry - I painted the chipboard in colors I pulled

from the line and I'm not being a fraidy cat in 

slapping paint around.

I have a glass cutting board and under it I can't resist putting a lot of stuff
like tickets and cards and pamphlets and stuff.
It's distracting I know.
My bad.
