The Letter 'K'

I'm so far behind in scrapbooking my photos. My third grandchild will be two in January, and I haven't set up a scrapbook for him. I am focusing on my sewing and pattern making. You can check out my endeavors at Marshmallow Jane.

My granddaughter turned five last week, and I chipped in to buy her an American Girl doll. I decorated this wooden letter 'K' for her package. I painted the 'K' acrylic pink and painted a layer of Glitter Mod Podge, before adding various bling. I think it looks pretty cool.

Sleeping Little Man

Because I am selling my house and downsizing to a one story, I have packed my scrapbooking supplies until I get resituated. I have several Swirlydoos kits that I've barely looked at. I cannot wait to play with my beautiful paper, stamps, punches, tools, and embellishments. In the meantime, I look in my archives for favorite layouts.

My grandson looks like a little man here, sound asleep on my bed:

I love working with chipboard. Here I used ultra thick embossing enamel (UTEE) over both black and red acrylic paint. The UTEE is clear powder that changes to a cool look once it is heated; it can be used over any color.

Playing in the Dirt

This layout is mounted on a background of purple cardstock embellished with acrylic paint. I love all these flowers that surround my granddaughter who plays in the dirt.

Some of the flowers are painted chipboard. Others were cut from printed paper. The word "DIRT," is created with chipboard letters that have a pre-glued surface that easily adheres to glitter.
