Tote

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!! I had the day to myself yesterday so did a little playing with something new, I wanted to do one of these totes for a friend but I plan on using pictures on it. I thought I better do a practice one, so I did this one but with no pictures. Just wanted to see how it painted up etc. I really wanted to stamp on it but I was afraid I might ruin it. I started out with a plain Donna Downey tote, wow it is a lot bigger then I thought!!

I set it on a small dress form I have (hope to get that decorated some day) and started to paint, I used watered down acrylic paint and it went on really nice.

The green I used was a little brighter then I wanted...

But for a first, it didn't turn out to bad. Decorated it with Prima flowers and rhinestones.

Now to tackle the other one, hope what I plan on doing with it will work out! I would love to do one of her camera bags but it is a little spendy!!

Have a good one!!

CHA

I have two of my grandson's with me for a few days so this will be short. They have been painting this morning and oh my goodness!!! Next time I think they better leave the paints at home!!

Here is a few more pics from CHA. I really didn't take to many, to busy!
Pic with Suze Weinberg, make & takes from Provo Craft, Prima, and look at those deserts they were huge!

Here's another chance to win some blog candy, just leave a comment and I will do a random drawing on Fri. Aug. 7th. Good Luck!

Have a good one!

Ohhh, I'm digging deep to use flowers & bling!

Made this layout last night, had to get my playing time in before the grand kids come this weekend! This was a fun page to do!

Hope all of you have a great 4th of July weekend! Please take time to remember our troops who are in harms way every day! I have one in Iraq so this is very close to my heart!

Have a wonderful weekend!
