MOO

Well I just can't sleep so I thought why not make a post again! So that no one can read it... This is getting weird writing to myself but oh well. It's a start I guess! 
I decided to make a VERY simple layout with no patterned paper at all. I challenged myself to use other forms of media. For example, I used lots of different fibers like twine, yarn, thread and lace! Then I also added a metal tag used to track cows. I used to be so obsessed with cows, this photo was from my old cottage and means a lot to me. I did some journaling directly on the page because I thought I had enough dimension in this page already. I watered down some paint and splattered it on the kraft card stock and made the title "moo" with some old thickers.
Thank you if anyone actually sees/reads this! :) 

Paint fight!

I keep posting photos of cards that I've made and today I decided I'd show some of my scrapbook pages as well. Starting with one of my first, and one of my favorites. It's fairly simple but I like that because it brings out the picture more. I started with a plain white 12x12 piece of paper because I couldn't find a background paper to compliment my photo. The photo is of my boyfriend and I on one of our first dates. Both of us in high school with little money we grabbed some friends and went to the dollar store to buy paint and water guns. We went to a park near a river so we watered down the paint and chased each other around. It was so much fun! Anyways I just splattered tattered angels mist all over the page and found some bright colourful papers. I ran some kraft card stock through the krimper and tore it to make an accent. I did faux stitching around the photo and wrote a little caption. I then just layered some flowers and tied a bow with some twine. :) simple and easy but a big accomplishment for me! Thanks for checking it out!
