Etsy Inspired #139--5.21.11
This week's shop is Paula Art, which sells home decor made from recycled found objects, a type of art created by Marcel DuChamp during the 20th century. Being a lover of all things modern art, I found this shop particularly interesting. Here's the piece that I was inspired (loosely) by.
I loved the rustic peeled paint look.
Sometimes beauty can be found in forgotten items
So, this shop got me thinking about items in my craft supply that may have been forgotten (but, not unloved) and I pulled out some pretty trims and trinkets.
Some fun tags, a keyhole, pin and resin
flower embellishments

Our shop is generously giving one winner this lovely gobi pipe that can be used as a candle holder! Oohhlala!

Some of my Favorite Techniques
So, this week we were asked to share some of our favorite techniques when were creating layouts at the Best Creation blog.
Dearness me, where do I start? I don't have a favorite really since each project sort of demands it's own technique[s]. But, I chose a few to use on this project. For a supply list and directions click on over to the blog.

-Using tape as a rustic accent.
-Trimming stickers in half to draw interest
to journaling or an element of interest. (i.e. "searching")
-Drawing interest to negative punch outs
with stitched punch outs
-Creating depth by adding foam tape to stickers
How I spent Easter Morning as a kidlet
Hey Everyone!! Happy Monday to you!! Best Creation wanted to know how we spent Easter with our family. Since I don't have any kiddos of my own, and my hubby was stuck in DC over Easter I made a page sharing what my mom did for us kids when we were little.
Every Easter morning, we'd wake up and run downstairs into the kitchen eager to find the first clue! The clues would eventually lead us to our easter baskets filled with delicious, pastel and buttercream eggs, Cadbury eggs, little chocolate eggs with dinosaurs inside, eggs with Spring scenes and little toy treasures. My brother and I would race to each new location to find a new when we figured out where to go from the last! Here's the layout I created showcasing "The Hunt"
