Just finished designing a school project with a "bag of crap" based on a book title/author. Interesting, yes! I found myself snubbing most of the treasures in the "bag" and sticking to paper (the paper bag itself) and pen...imagine that! OOps! We had to photograph our composition of said "crap" and that would be the finished designed --only cropping and slight adjustments in PS. No major Photoshoppery allowed. The goal was to familiarize yourself with photography. CHECK!
I'm not ecstatic with my result...I wish I'd been a little more flexible with the idea- I got too determined I think? But at this point, I'm calling it done. Done.
Lets just say I had more fun doing this...which took like 2 1/2 minutes, maybe.
I wanted to create that depth with my "bag of crap" school project as I did here with the doilies. But I don't think it translated as well. I'm really crushin' on doilies--so precious. So this was a little experiemental doily "tag" I did a few weeks ago. Can't wait to play with this idea some more. All in good time, right...
I added a few of these to my flea market booth today...fun stuff. I love making and decorating with these fun things! I added big tulle poms to the ends and its super cute! Do you BELIEVE?!?! These banners feature a precious vintage Santa I got over at the Graphics Fairy! LOVE her. love. Thank you Graphics Fairy!
I'm so ready for the Holidays! I guess working at the fun store is getting me in the "mood" earlier this year. We must have a dozen scrumptious trees! I've contemplated decorating a bit early this year...hmmm...I've already started wrapping presents! I've not actually "made a list" but that hasn't stopped me from checking it twice! I know whose naughty and nice...yes I do! Something I've purposed to do this year is purchase vintage items for my family/kids. So far I've gotten some real treasures at the "flea." (our fun little flea market here in town called Angel's Crossing).
Tomorrow's Friday! Wonder what exciting and happy things tomorrow could bring? Hmmm...
I'll leave you with this - a favorite of late because I love my little sister too much! She's absolutely beautiful and I'm SO proud of her!
Hey Janna! I love Christmas and should really start my shopping, decorating (love your banner!) and making my list. It is such a wonderful part of the year, but I really need to get through Thanksgiving first. Can you believe that there are 2 radio stations, here in the Boston area that are already playing Christmas music 24/7? It's crazy I tell ya!
