I signed up for Ashley Wren's Sistv class a couple weeks ago and did I think about 7 of her assignments (okay, not assignments as they weren't graded or mandatory) and this week I'm doing Red Velvet Art Rachel Denbow's Journal class. I'm loving her tips and journal tutorials. Now if I could find a few hours a day to just scrapbook and craft....darn family and laundry...
Here's what I have so far. A summer journal is my theme. I'm using an October Afternoon journal book.
this is one of Rachel's techniques, using a checkerboard like design (she painted them, I added this paper) with the pink and white hearts for what I love in summer, the other page (only 3 things, ;) optimistic, positive me ) with the Summer Bummers.
this is a simple one using a single color background and then monochromatic colors. Rachel painted hers, I used a black marker for the outline and then painted the inside bubbles and loops of the letters.
these are my designs
I have a few more pages, I just need to get the pictures printed. Later this week hopefully I'll have them...
Then this one was just for fun this morning...I LOVE Ann Taintor, she's so awesome! I think I'll do a monthly tribute to her and these fabulous old ads (even though she cleverly adds her own commentary-genius!!!)
oh, and this was a project from Ashley's Sistv class, I forget the concept, but it used her cute cards in the layout. I doodled on each of them though..
McKaylah made a softie pillow in like 4 minutes for one of her best bud's Gryphon. This is her garden monster since they're both real" herby" and junior naturalists.
Then anyone who knows us knows we are a little matryoshka crazy here. We collect them, and have plates, necklaces, clothing (you get the idea) with them on it. My granny had a few when I was young and they've always reminded me of her (along with hobnail and milk-glass, gnomes, aprons, glass milk bottles, old farm-style tablecloths, and big rainboots for some reason). Anyone who knows me knows I was really close with her and I miss her so much. But I know she would have howled when she saw her two little girls (and she did howl when she laughed). The girls dressed up in old aprons and looked like little matryoshkas. I almost peed my pants. The pictures are actually blurry because I was laughing so hard.
