Misty Meadow Journals

I thought I'd try one of the CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration challenges.   It was just what I needed to get my mojo moving on scraping some photo's in layouts for a change.    Major Case File No. 227 Here is how I solved the case... Scheme: All the colors...Check Evidence : I have flowers, wood, and cheese cloth as fabric. ...Check   Testimony: "Kitty has walked in the woods with us since she was a kitten. Usually trailing along behind, last in line.  Every once in a while,  In a mad Kitty dash she unexpectedly grabs a leg then climbs up a tree." ...Check!   I just realized it might sound like Kitty grabs a leg and takes it with her up a tree...lol  But actually she just grabs, lets go, then climbs up a tree. 😜 I picked out 2 pictures of my Kitty.  Yep, her name is actually "Kitty".   I used some leftover Pion Design's "The Songbird's Secret" papers. I used texture pas...

Sharing the little Easter Express engine I altered for my grandson who looooves trains. I bought a wood engine for about $3 at Walmart. Used some paper clay to sculpt the face right on to the front. Made some ears from felt. Painted with metallic blue acrylic paint, added details with white and black paint. Made up the "Easter Express" sign and the egg border in photo shop to stick on the side. Finished off with a pompom tail. I don't know how long it will last with rough play, but I hope it is a cute surprise for him.

 I'm longing for spring and all the bright colors.  So I created these decorated eggs for Easter.  I made my own paper mache eggs, (I tell you how I did it later in this post) and then decorated them with paint, beads, flowers, ribbons, mini plastic eggs, flocked bunnies, and some of Reneabouquets laces, trims, chunky glitter, A Summer Set Butterfly, and Renea's Sweet Vintage Flower Fairy Die Cut. Then I hot glued the yellow one on to a glass candle stick and the pink one to a small cut glass bowl.  They are so bright and cheerful!  I love the Sweet Vintage Flower fairy peeking out from her magical egg. They make me happy to look at them. 😀 I've done a picture tutorial on how I created my own paper mache eggs. First I bought one of these... I found it at Walmart, opened it at home and of course I ate the candy. I have made lots of things with paper mache over the years, so it was natural for me to want to...
