Dr. Seuss and a bit of Clean & Simple

Dr. Seuss, October Afternoon, Paperie, Ranger

Yesterday I mentioned that I was going to a class at The Paperie given by Rae Lynn. She does the most amazing Clean and Simple LO’s – not my forte at all – so whenever she gives a class, I try to be there. It’s always good to learn about something that’s not your strong point!

I went really prepared last night too – had my pics printed and everything! The meant I came home with two completed LO’s, no more work needed, yay!

Here’s the first one, pics of my boy:

Love that photograph tag – we cut it to pieces and used it all over the place!

And the LO of my baby (yes, she’s the oldest but she promised that she would *always* be my baby!):

Love the B&W pic on this one – it’s one of the first pictures I took when I got D’s old camera and it’s one of my all times faves of her. I did change this up a bit – in the class all those pinky elements were bare wood which looked amazing, just not quite right for a little girl! We received a Jenni Bowlin for Ranger paint dabber (and ink pad) in the class so I used that to paint all the wood. Love how it came out.

Thanks, Rae Lynn, for another fabulous class! When’s the next one? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Finally, my October Afternoon challenge LO which was to use a Dr. Seuss quote. This is the one I did at The Paperie crop Friday night:

It’s fine, I added the stitching when I came home, but it’s not what I wanted. I left it for a couple of days, and this is what I ended up doing to it:

More dimension, some bling and glitter:

Some Distress Stain, and a rolled flower to break up the buttons:

A misted canvas heart:

Now it’s a bit more interesting!

This week they showed a technique involving string and mist – going to have to give that one a try too!

Happy hump day, we’re getting closer to Friday!

My weekend…

Creative Chemistry 101, Dr. Seuss, Family, Online Card Classes, Studio Calico, Tim Holtz

This past Friday night I went to a crop at The Paperie – fun, fun, fun as always! I love scrapping with my pals, even if I did drive them crazy this time! You see, I forgot my water bottle so stopped at Tim Horton’s for a drink.

And I got an Iced Cappuccino.

It was big.

Me and caffeine – not such a good mix. Let’s just say that I talked. And kept talking for the whole night. Yup, no more caffeine for me!

I did manage, in between the nonstop chattering, to (almost) complete two layouts for different Dr. Seuss challenges that have been posted in blogworld lately. I came home and did some machine stitching, which added a bit more of what I was looking for, but they both still need a little something. I hate that part. Now I’ll be tearing my hair out trying to find that final perfect touch. Argh.

Anyway, here’s the Studio Calico one – I used the new kit I won, Story Hour.

it is fun to have fun...

When I finally find that last bit it needs, I’ll post it again!

Saturday night, we went to a small house party for a friend’s 40th birthday. Neither one of us were in the mood to go out, but we’re glad we did – we had a great time! Good people, good food, and cake. What more could you need? It was worth the trip out!

Finally, yesterday we went to D’s Great-Aunt’s 90th birthday – good food there too and the kids had fun which makes life easier. It was in the basement of the church, so they played away in the nursery with all the “new” toys they had at their disposal.

On our way home, G fell asleep in the car so he and I had a snooze while D and M fed the ducks, checked a Geocache, and played in the playground.

All in all, a pretty good weekend!

And, to start my week off right, today was the first day of Creative Chemistry 101, a Tim Holtz class through Online Card Classes. Today was awesome – all about different inks, mediums, properties, surfaces, etc. Can’t wait until the techniques start tomorrow!
