Easter Egg night!

Elijah and I colored eggs tonight! We had alot of fun, and also found a way to use the leftover dye AND the cups we used to hold the dye instead of just tossing the stuff. Its important nowadays to try to stretch your dollar as far as it will go!!







We put some cylinder noodles in the leftover dye to colour them. Were going to make necklaces for the grandmas!



Here are the noodles drying on an old towel...


..and we will use the dye cups for paint later!

HOLY CRAP!! A few weeks ago on Sunshine studio scraps, they had a birthday celebration and some challenges. One challenge was for members to give the designers inspiration for digi kits! You could post photos, art.. whatever! I posted some wall art from the kids shop "The land of Nod" and Valerie of Valerie Ostrom Designs chose MY art as HER inspiration!! I was thrilled to see this awesome kit she made using the art I loved!

Sarah Made a New kit!!!!

This new kit is the greatest! Its for boys mostly, but Im sure you could use it for any playful kids, or adults!!Here`s what Sarah had to say about her new kit!:

"What else says Boy other than the wonderful inspiration by Dr. Seuss? This little boy kit is full of hand drawn elements by myself, bright colored papers, and fun vintage ephemera full of cranky little boys! It's all about the boys.
Kit includes: 20 papers, 45 elements, and the 11 original drawings by me"

"ME" being Sarah Barber of Sarah Barber designs! I love her stuff, its SO original!!

Here`s the kit, which is available at the digeridoo shoppe!

Art journal page from a new Sarah Barber Design kit!

This has been a VERY rough week for my family! My brother, Roger, whos 26 almost died from organ failure! He also had several seizures in the hospital, and they ran a test and found out he has epilepsy! Big strong kid who played football and wrestled and is now a carpenter/electrician is now disabled! Its a hard thing to take. Sarah Barber, whos creative team im on, made this really cool kit of word arts and artistic stamps. She was inspired while working on her psychology homework!! heres the kit




Isent that cool!! Its right up my alley as I LOVE old medical books!!!
And heres my art journal page



Im going to tackle difficult subjects in my life in my art journal, and happy ones too! I might use and old book cover to make my journal, but would love ideas!!

Here are my ideas!

For this layout I got inspiration from the shabby chic/vintage look



for this layout I gained inspiration from the horizontal stripes on the yellow and black bottle


For this last layout I got inspiration from the shape of the bottles!
