Let's Ride

When it's cold outside, I move the chairs, so the kids have a pathway in which to ride their little bikes....as long as they don't leave skid marks. Even when they leave marks, they love to clean the floor, so all is good.



My paper layers came out of my stash. I distressed nearly everything with Decorating Chalks by Craf-T Products. I painted the chipboard stems and the grungeboard letters in "RIDE!" with acrylic paint, and I highlighted the circles with chalk. The "Let's" letters are Blue Alpha Transfers.

Super Soaked

I keep extra t-shirts at my house so the kids can get as dirty or wet as they want when they visit. These pictures follow our fight with the super soakers. These photos show how to ring out a t-shirt while you're still wearing it.

I Love Grungeboard

My aim was to scrapbook a page very quickly. For me, this turned into a 48-hour period with lots of ruminating and a little bit of work. That is Marsha's way of doing anything "quickly."

When I started scrapbooking, I vowed that I wouldn't lose focus of the photo on the page. This L/O is busy, isn't it? But I still like it.

The green letters and the pink heart are grungeboard.



Here's a closeup of the grungeboard letters with a dotted texture. I painted them with Sea Foam Specialty Glaze by Making Memories. I want to paint everything with this paint.

I painted the heart with Rose Petal Special Glaze by Making Memories. This particular grungeboard has a diamond pattern to its texture. Here's a closeup:

I almost always paint or cover my own chipboard, but in the above LO, I used colored chipboard stickers--the tall flower and the squiggly things around the picture frame--that are by Euphoria. I work a lot in pink and green. I bought this from the scrapbook store in the Village, Jazzy Crafts.
