Last of the Retreat Layouts

This is the last of the retreat layouts that I completed.  This is a more clean lined and much less layered layout than I normally do but I did not want to take to much away from this photo.  It is hard to get both kiddos looking at the camera, smiling reasonably, and not goofing off at this stage.

I coloured the canvas resist flowers with Distress markers so that I could be more precise in my colour placement.  I, then, misted the canvas to spread the ink.  It also made the colour less intense.

Now that I have shared all the layouts that I completed last weekend, I just need to keep this going.  I need to sit down and work on some of the ideas that have been percolating over the last week.

Have a good Saturday.

Looky, looky...a craft related post.

Not much craft related was finished this week except some glue gunning of Halloween costume bits but thankfully, I have no plans this weekend.  I am not travelling, the kiddos are not travelling, we have no family visiting.....a quiet open weekend to relax and play....(at least I hope so. With my luck, I have probably jinxed it by saying it out loud).  I am seriously thinking of playing some more with pretty paper.  The retreat did rejuvenate my interest in crafting once again.

Speaking of the retreat, here is another layout that I completed.

My two kiddos and my niece at my parent's house.  The photo was taken in the summer in my parent's backyard.  I finally dug into some Basic Grey paper that I have been hording for a bit.  The spotted leaves are made with washi tape.  Washi tape is starting to become my goto embellishment.  Love the stuff.

Happy Friday....TGIF....
