a few FUN photos...

HELLO!

Not a whole lot of time for chit chat today...

CHA is soooo close & I still have soooo much to accomplish before I leave on Sunday...

YIKES!!! It always gets done...

but there are a few scary days...

the extra benefit...no time to cook! ha!

A HUGE YIPPEE!!

This morning I was up @ 4:30...

to do the edit for book #3!

Stay tuned...

I asked for a change on the front cover...

just as soon as Matt gets that done, I'll show you ...

it has a very fun project...

I'm pleased with how it looks...

speaking of FUN...

this turned out to be one of the MOST FUN projects I did for Maya Road...

Here's the brand new keyhole album...

it's got 4 chipboard pages & 4 kraft pages...

the cover has the cut out & the inside pages are solid...

I turned it sideways and made this...

Remember I told you you NEED snow cap white pigment ink??

Here's a good reason why I LOVE it...

it's an easy way to create a shabby chic whitewash look...

I LOVE the chalky matte finish...

next...

I finished the small acrylic cover for my new stamps...

the paper is scraps of graphic45...

I used some grunge & a small art parts flower & an art parts rectangle frame...

art parts & GRUNGE = the perfect combo... IMHO...just saying'...

FUN!

and FINALLY...

how long have we NEEDED this?

it works like MAGIC...

we used it @ Ranger U last month...

MAGIC I tell you.

you will LOVE it...I DO!!!

Now after my inky classes...

everyone can leave with clean hands!

It's REALLY... MAGIC!

you'll see...

That's it for today...

back to the studio to...

make (CHA) art!

Inspiration and ideas...............

Where do they come from? Most times I have no clue.


BUT...this time I KNOW!


Tagret had an ad in the newspaper this weekend. It was for a quilt/comforter & the design caught my eye. I saved it with the intent of showing it here.


HOWEVER...in my haste to keep the place neat & tidy...I wondered why a Target ad was on the counter. SO...In the trash it went. When I started to write this post, I realized why I had saved it...OOPS!!...too late!


I guess you'll have to trust me...this 4 x 8 page from Maya Road's Landscape binder was inspired by that ad.



The papers are from Graphic 45, Kaisercraft & Creative Imaginations.

What else for today???

I'm still LOVING the metallic crackle paint... it takes a bit longer to dry...so give it time...but the wait is so worth it!

This is painted on tim's large grungeboard wings...




I rubbed Pitch Black Pigment ink into the cracks & left some on for a really grungy/tarnished look. It's just a little peek...since this is a CHA project.

One more thing.........

Friday's shopping yielded...

2 pairs of shoes...2 purses...2 scarves...

Hmmm...maybe this purse will be some ART inspiration.........



Hmmmm...possibly the starting point for a book closure?





Take note...pay attention to the details...........
Inspiration is everywhere!


MAKE ART!
