A few things...

So this is my new-and-improved scrap space. When Hans was away I guess two weekends ago I had a lot of fun at Michaels, ACMore and MLPA. Here are some of my adventures. Notice the 12x12 cardstock in gradiant. Yeah - I did that.

This is a head-on shot of the shelves. I painted them white so they blended in - and then I hung them up! This is how that conversation went:
::ring, ring::
H: Hey Baby, what's up? I'm playing pool.
J: Where's the drill?
H: Um, the storage area. What do you need the drill for?
J: Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

A close up of my buttons! After I put all the cardstock together, I color coordinated my buttons. Each shaker has an embellishment hanging from it.

I. Am. Obsessive.

These are the techniques that I completed at that technique class at MLPA. It's difficult to see what I did, but my favorite technique is the splatter paint (top right). The red on the bottom is a gold card with thick red paint on it - then scratched away. Time consuming, but could be fun. The brown tag didn't exactly come out the way it's supposed, but it looks better in person. The light pink is heavy acrylic paint with debossed stamping - then stained light pink.

Lastly.... this one is for my brother. No explanation required.
