#boys will be boys - Come On Get Crafty

Happy Weekend!!

Today on the Come On Get Crafty Blog, I am sharing a page inspired by the sketch I drew!

This is a new Friday sketch challenge for the DT which I love!

I had these three photos printed out of my son and wanted to come up with a sketch to go with them.

I love scrapping pictures taken in rapid succession like this. Especially for a silly subject such as this one!

The title is a cut file from one of the workshops from Wilna Furstenburg.  I cut it out in two different

sizes and watercolored them to match the background painting I did.

This is the way I sketch ideas in my journal, so this is what I am sharing!  Using the stars,

I was suggesting paint splatters, stars, flowers, hearts, any sort of embellishment really.  I ended

up using both splatters and then added stars too.  I used papers and stickers from Bella Blvd. along

with a couple Silhouette die cut titles that I watercolored, coming up with a palette of blues and aquas.

I thought cutting the chevron paper into smaller strips, like arrows and then reversing them

added to the movement of the "light saber!" :)  I added wood veneer stars from Freckled Fawn

and a wood veneer card from Amy Tangerine under my journaling.

You can see the original Blog Post HERE!  The shop is filling up with lots of new goodies!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have an amazing weekend!

you color my life beautiful

Recently, I have been lacking some creative mojo.  It has never really happened to me in my 13+ years
of scrapbooking.  I hadn't run out of inspiration, just motivation and focus.  In an attempt to work
through my inability to produce something new, I cleaned up my scraproom,  organized all my previous kit
products and made several lists of things I need to do...After all of that, and a few inspiring posts from
some online scrap friends (thank you all of you, you know who you are!) I took an evening to just play, just for me.

I know I don't do enough of that, and between school activities, holidays and family obligations,
I am usually scrapping for my design team commitments.

So, after cutting several backgrounds and titles on my Silhouette, I broke out my watercolors and painted
on the background cardstock.  It is simple and so colorful, the photo slips into the background a bit,
but it was so therapeutic to my overwhelmed creative mind.

Both the heart background and the script title are from Wilna Furstenburg.
Her videos are always inspiring to me and the cut files are just as amazing!

Thanks for stopping by and indulging my exploration into mojo rejuvination!

Have an amazing day!
