Inspiration was everywhere!
I recently attended the 2 Crafty Chicks crop in Sulphur, LA
and it was fantastic! We crafted, swapped, photographed, shopped, giggled, and
ATE. What more can a crafty girl want?
Can I share with you a little of my adventure? YAY!!! Here
goes….
The theme was Willy Wonka Presents Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory. Wendy, one of the gals
that throws the shendig, made a two page layout that we could purchase to put
our fun photos on. I have way too many photos for one layout and I like to have
something of my own originality. I did purchase her kit and I used her kit to
get an idea about the color scheme she was going for in her props and shirts.
I went to my local Hobby Lobby and bought cardstock based on
what I could see in her layout.
I then took my Dylusions sprays in those colors and some
stencils that I liked and I got busy creating.
I stamped the beakers using an Inkadinkadoo set that was
made for Halloween and stamped them on orange and hot pink, sprayed paper.
I wrote on the original background
with my favorite Willy Wonka quote. I took that to a copier and sized it for a
postcard (4.5 x 5.5) which turns out to be a quarter of a letter size sheet.
I put the beakers on and copied it again.
The colors are a bit muted compared to the original, but it
turned out perfectly for the project.
I will save my other original work for the crop for my next
post. Come back to see what Molly did with it as well! That girl has mad
computer skills!
Until then, take what you need and leave the rest behind!
