We interrupt this random pre scheduled post to announce I am now part of the Scrap FX design team!!!
YEA BABY! BOOOYAAAAA!
UUUA UUUA! UUUA UUA!!
awkward dancing.
smiling
YAYYY!
Now back to my usual blathering.
****************
I'm trying to ignore current tv news and political smack talk lately as it just makes me rave unattractively.There are eye ticks and references to obscure literature involved.
Mostly because I have definite ideas about women's issues and feminism...
Wait- did I lose you?
I DISTINCTLY saw eyes glazing over!
Did I REALLY just write the word FEMINISM in my SCRAP blog?
Don't worry I won't flail burning under garments in your general direction.
I will leave all political implications at the door where you may pick them up and RUN WILD in the streets with them.
Mostly because it's late, I'm tired and there's a really good episode of "Ghost Whisperer" I wanna watch.
Let's relate on a more personal level.
After all, we all want the same things:
a long healthy happy life, true love, pizza, the occasional trip to the scrap store and the latest Echo Park line.
This one:
This has GOT to be the COOLEST print this season!!! Echo Park's This & That line- pure awesomeage! |
Woodgrain, Scrabble tile and Dymo tape alphas? It's a dream come true! |
I'm using it anyway!
See?
A page for this week's Punky Scraps Sketch challenge. Materials: Echo Park This & That paper, stickers and brads, Gauche Alchemy punchinella, SC Mister Huey in white and Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher. |
I decided to not over think and just started adding fun bits to the page.
I like the result. It could use more white space but it was fun to make so I'm ok with it.
The sketch by Marie Mison:
Deceptively "simple"!! |
That palette would normally send me into a buying frenzy but the "boys" line is so much cooler!!! Mod cameras! Teal and turquoise! Film strips and woodgrain together!
Imagine what some red and pink cameras would have looked like!!
ACK! Missed opportunity!!!
Let me distract myself with my latest "find" a "vintage" alphabet rubber stamp set from EK Success.
Oh what's DIZ? Only my latest obsession. These are rad to the max! More to come #everystory (hint!) |
More on this come Project Life Monday. Promise! |
I really love how my fellow team members interpreted the sketch.
Can't wait to see how YOU tackle it!
MuChos SmOoChEs!
Michelle
