Hi everyone, it`s my design team day with Susan K Weckesser and I have a project that you can all create to chase away even the bluest day . . . plus your hands will end up looking like the prettiest rainbows.
So what is it?
It`s my touchy, feelly, feel good book and it started it`s journey with a bit of this . . .
Yep, Susan K Weckesser`s beautiful paper line along with brown cardboard from packaging.
I took 2 sheets of Live, Love, Create, cut
out the house and used it as a stencil to cut more houses from the
papers and packaging. From the second sheet an extra door and window so
that they would pop!
But before things go . . . POP . . . I just had to add a few scribbles with a fine black liner pen and some sparkle with a little Pink Paislee Pixee glitter.
After
a splodge of paint, a spritz of Smooch and Maya Road mists, a few
scraps of old book pages,Splatters and smudges of Tim Holtz distress ink
pads and stains,a good dose of Cosmic Shimmer,a smattering of clear
embossing powder, Unity Stamps co branded with Susan K Weckesser and some odds and ends thrown in for good measure . . . this is how it looks inside!
{ Pssssst it makes my heart sing with joy. }
Yep I think we all have those days, don`t we?
The tag is from SKW- Live in Colour tags paper.
You have the choice to do something about it and on those days I head on out to my shed and get colourful with art.
Not
one to waste things, you know along the bottom of a 12x12 scrap paper
you have the paper title and so on...well that is where the title Live in Color came from.
So much fun was had stamping with
In - Circle - Me and a little bit of washi on this little house along with the words
Live, Love, Create from the Live in color tag page.
Isn`t that little house from Create Your Day Stamp set the cutest thing?
The old tag from a purchase on the side reads . . .
No better time spent
Than
Time spent with the one`s you love most . . . Family!!
Home is where you hang your HEART!
What key do each and everyone of us hold?
We hold the key to our own Happiness . . . No matter what is going on in our lives, make time to do something that makes you smile and laugh out loud!
{ even singing out loud and doing a mad dance can work . . . honest!}
When
I am having a blue day, Alex drags me to the allotment and thank
goodness . . . once through the gate, tootling around getting all mucky,
{ Seriously I am a dirt magnet }
how time flies and before I know it I am humming along to whatever song runs through my head and feeling HAPPY with the world.
My garden would be nothing without all off the above!
A little bit washi, a quote from create your day, a smattering of seeds sunk in UTEE in an old bottle cap finished these two up nicely.
Don`t go through life,grow through life
This man knows me so well and I love him for it!
He saved a bag of watches from going in a skip and gifted them to me . . .bliss!
Lastly the back cover.
Whew, if you are still here . . . THANK YOU . . . and sorry for the looong post today!
I hope you enjoyed seeing my touchy, feely, feel good book.
Till next time
xoxo
