Sis Linda's Elsie Challenge this week was "make your own chipboard accents." This is Ver. 1. Didn't like it, so I tore it down and re-did it (that's my artistic proccess, can you dig it?) The pix was supposed to be bleu, but it printed purple and therefore, I did the flowers in purple. Ick!
Ver. 2...I like this one much better. B&W photo and bleu flowers. The text is (are?) song lyrics from Crazytown's 'Butterfly.'
Another piece that just needed finishing. Another gel transfer. Nan/Cate was interested in the technique, so I'm gonna put together a tutorial and post it on Nudge-Nudge.
Elise's Paper Adventure '08 prompt for this week was freeze a day. Pick a day, any day and record what you did so in the future, you can look back and see how you spent your time. The background paper is from a bar of seaweed/lavendar soap (there's actual bits of seaweed as an exfolliant!) I bot at LUSH. I love the LUSH life! All natural product, mfg'd in Canada. Gotta love those Canadians. I found the store b/c I'm allergic to the aluminum whatever in everyday deo. I was surfing the net, and found they mfg a deo called Aromacreme and I LOVE it! No more itching!!! Acrylic paint, Meer image and Hero Arts stamps. Text from Word.
Today Sue put together a scavenger hunt for her daughter's b-day. She went to Stanford Mall and made a list of landmarks, then created questions with different point values. "What product is in the Nike store window" for instance. She invited me, well, to take a group of girls around, but I'm game. It sounds like so much fun!!! It should be interesting in the rain : .)
I did a couple of "daily" cards (slacking off there) and will post on Skosh a bit later.
Just got a txt msg from the cute boy that works at the gym, so I'm off to read it, hee!!!
