| Its a dessert, not cheese. Also, did you notice my cute pink visual triangle - ink, gem, and tape? |
Do you know what halva is? If you do, you know why I had to make a scrapbook page about it. Such a delicious dessert made with Sesame and other yummy things -- Oh, it is so so so so so so sososososososGOOD. (Not an exaggeration). I tend to have a hard time using paper with drawings and stuff already on it, but I decided that I would fight through the hardness with this awesome Amy Tangerine paper. It was an interesting challenge because the layout of the paper really dictated where the photos had to go (unless I wanted to cover up the fun drawing bits and who whats to do that?) so it was a challenge of working within the bounds of placement.
The awesome part was getting the look of the splattered ink without having to do any splattering myself. I have some perfect pearls mist that I'm trying to get into (and failing) but haven't got any super inky mists yet. Not that I don't want to, but its just sorta low on my priority list right now. I tend to like super busy papers that just don't need ink sprays. That and inks are a little hard to find here in small town South Carolina -- and I haven't gotten an order that is above the free shipping threshold for an online shop yet. I am eying those sequined arrows and hearts by Heidi Swapp -- maybe I'll order in June. My budget for this month is spent on Ikea and organization. (Which, update, I AM LOVING) -- the extra workspace is HUGE. Life is so much easier with the added table space. Love it love it love it).
Hope all is well for you out there in the internets! While I'm deciding about inks and sequin embellishments -- is there anything else you out there think I would love? Link me up since shopping is in my future!
I just had the best time reading your entire blog over a cup of hot tea (aaah, no-work days are bliss!). 1) Your artwork is beautiful. I'm glad you are finally sharing your awesome LOs with the blogosphere. 2) I love your writing style. It's like having a conversation in my office... or over burritos... with you. And if I didn't already know you, I would want to know you based on how you write. 3) Your craft space is RAD! Yes, I just used the word "rad" because that's how awesome your space is. LOVE. IT! Looking forward to more blogging from you in the future, my friend!
