this weeks inspiration wednesday was created in michigan at Scrappy Chic. jonesing to be creative i bought a basket full of supplies and played. "clean + crisp + fresh: new beginnings" basically a reflection of dreaming about my new space.
here's the simple how to in my inspiration journal this week.
- adhered a piece of legal pad paper to right side
- painted the background with one of my top 5 favorite acrylic turquoise paint colors
- then added a wash of white acrylic paint
- then a wash of pink acrylic paint
- punched 1 1/4" scalloped squares from the basicgrey lemonade paper pack
- tore and crumpled a manila tag, then inked with vintage photo distress ink
- added title and adhered tag to page
- created twisted book text stems and ribbon leaves
- added flowers and bling centers + buttons
- inked the edges with vintage photo and let it bleed and drip down the page by adding layers of ink and water
desperately wanting my new countertops - they should be installed next week wednesday-ish. this is where i will put my new brother embroidery/sewing machine (I CANT WAIT TO EMBROIDER SOMETHING!)
that corner under the wall cabinet will be my desk/computer area
the left side of the countertop is where i will have my brand new cricut and my newly oiled and serviced turquoise typewriter. (FYI on the typewriters - i will have a couple extra, i am having them serviced so they are in perfect working condition and will post them for sale as soon as i get them all back. if you are interested i will have more details soon)
the paper i think i am going to put to the far left of the countertop. i weened my self down to just these 6 trays and they are quite full! i also have a small stack of patterned papers i kept behind my apron on the island, i have no idea where i am putting them, lol!
