Easter Layout - Ustream Recap

0

Thank you to everyone who came out to April's Ustream. It was great to meet the newbies.

With so many cute Easter pictures from this past weekend, I thought it would be fun to create a mixed media layout from start to finish!  My objective was to give you some inspiration for boy Easter layouts.  All these mixed media techniques are perfect for "boys".

Just look at all this yummy texture we created with just a few supplies.  Washi tape, linen tape, and dry wall tape were used to add texture to the background.   A few splashes of Lindy's Stamp Gang, Under the Boardwalk and Tres Chic helped to pull all of the elements together.  The splashes of color kind of remind me of Easter egg die.  

Here is a glimpse at the finished layout.

April Journal - Marion Smith's Digital Downloads

0

I finally found the time to finish working on my April Journal for Marion's Monthly challenge.  I used her April Digi Downloads that can be found at http://www.apieceofcraft.com.

I decided to Coptic stitch the journal and I love how primiative it made this book look.  I used some of Marion's vintage trinkets on the cover and distressed them with patina rub-n-buff  and Picket Fence Distress Ink  to pop a little color on the cover.   The Tim Holtz word plate says "Live in the Moment" which is perfect for a monthly journal.

It is so awesome to look back at each month and see all of the things that have gone on in my life.

here is a video page by page walk through of the journal:




Thanks for stopping in today,
