Just popping in with the latest two entries in my 29 Days of Love album as well as another challenge for the Papertrey 5th anniversary.
The prompt for yesterday was "I love someone I spend time with." So, I decided to make it several someones and did the page about the Peanut Gallery. We don't see each other all that often now that we're out of school, but we still keep in touch and get together and have a great time when we do.
This was also the page that I used for the Papertrey challenge... today, in honor of Papertrey now being on Pinterest, we picked something from one of our boards on Pinterest and used it as inspiration for a project using Papertrey products.
Here's the picture I picked off of one of my boards... I didn't want to pick something too easy like a card or layout, so I went with my home decor board - I absolutely adore tiles and someday I'll cover my house with them:
And here's the link to get back to the source.
And the page itself - a pretty literal interpretation:
I used the original Guide Lines stamp set and stamped the grid with Vintage Cream ink on kraft cardstock and then quickly used some clear embossing powder and heat embossed the gridlines. I was trying to kind of mimic the grout lines of the tiles in my image. Then I used different image stamps and different colors of American Crafts metallic embossing powder. I finished with some glimmer mists.
I liked the idea of using silver corners as the hardware from the picture and then kept the words on the page pretty minimal and a little in the style of the page. And since I've decided to keep up a theme of at least one heart on each page (it's all about love, after all!) I used a purple Copic to draw little hearts on the corners.
And then today's prompt: "I love something I drink."
My first thought? "Water." Then I thought, "well that's boring." I don't really drink anything else most of the time, but then I thought... doh! Inca Kola. I keep a 6-pack on hand as a special treat when I'm really craving that golden, bubble-gum flavored goodness.
That's it!
I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday... the week has gone fast but been a long one at the same time, especially with me still being a little sick. I'm ready for a rest! I'm thinking it's definitely time for a nap or three :)
