A little bit of this

and a little bit of that.....
A week ago or two THIS PLACE. had a post about altering your paper and I thought that I would try it out... and this is what I created

This was a portable sanitation truck and the sticker read CAUTION, this vehivle is full of political promises!

(see... boring little paper)

I used this old K&C paper that I have had since my Angejolie was born, cut it into a 6 X12 and used the other half to layer a little over the paper, I used my Tim Holtz stamp and 2 more stamps and when I was done stamping & inking I layered the entire paper with medium gel mat to give it some more umph!
I have to say that I silently stalk that blog because they constantly challenge you to try new things. So if you have not checked them out before, I strongly suggest you do.

Now this is a page that I did with my Angejolie last night, she did the painting with a paper towel and some gesso, I layered the papers (all scraps) for her and let her go wild with the little stones.

And this is a little message holder we did for my brother with some scraps. The cute little boy is my nephew. I figure if he wants to look at him on his desk he better make sure he answers his messages pronto!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Well ladies, that is all I have for today, summer kind of makes it hard for me to create and blog as often as I wish I could but a little is better than nothing.
As always, THANK YOU for your sweet comments and have a wonderful weekend.

Yes Ma'am! I'm with you! The Next Step is too awesome! Great job on altering your paper. I've not had much scrapping time and have yet to give this a try. But I am creating a The Next Step binder to hold all their wonderful suggestions and ideas. Those ladies are so freakin' creative!

Speaking of creative freak geniuses...you totally rocked some projects! They are all fan-tab-U-lous! Hope you continue to enjoy the summer with your fam! :)
