day 7 of 30 days of creativity

day 7

So, I'm posting a day late but I really did make this yesterday.  I just didn't want to share it on the chance that someone from my book club might see it since it is part of the circle journal I just started.  I handed it over with my journal last night so I can't go back to take a better picture, unfortunately.  

I started with a piece of scrapbook paper from my stash.  The stuff that's really pretty but I didn't think I'd ever actually use & would have to part with the next time I purged kind of paper. Yay! I put down some white acrylic paint & built from there using blue acrylic paint, some glimmer mist over stencilss, some ink & stamps, some pens (Pitt brush pen, White posterpaint Sharpie &, hm, maybe a Pigma Micron or some such permanent pen), rub-ons (which I also thought I'd never end up using), more acrylic paint, some bling, some Stickles &  more Glimmer Mist.  Using printer paper, I finished it with the quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, "what could we accomplish if we knew we could not fail?"

Another random creative moment

This notebook was fun to make. It's yet another project that started off fun & intuitive. Then I hit a few glitches. The rubon wings didn't quite cooperate. I got out the Mod Podge to seal them & that created a few lumps. Thankfully, everything worked out in the end. It doesn't look like much work but there are definitely little details here & there (for example: Glimmer Mist on the chipboard heart; Stickles, Liquid Pearls & Diamond Glaze on the ghost shaped heart). This notebook is currently in my etsy shop.

I have a little craft fair coming up on Saturday, September 20th from 10:30-12:30 at the Playhouse Cafe. Everything that remains in my etsy shop, as well as all my items that haven't yet made it to etsy & new items in the process of being made will be available at the craft fair. The Playhouse Cafe is a family friendly cafe with a great area for kids to play
