chill day

today is a chill day.
not going anywhere.
just staying home day.
going places costs $$$.
being on a tight budget = chill day.

sharing some project lovez i did for this past father'z day.
these were made for my hubby.
he loved them so much.

an album:

and the deetz:

materials:  american crafts, 7gysies, tattered angeles glimmer mists, fiskars, ek success, uniball signo, sassafras, maya road, daisyd, ranger, martha stewart

used my nifty punches, stamping, tearing, distressing, spray misting, doodling, and all that fun stuff that makes this album special.

and now for a canvas layout of my hubby and our youngest chickadee, selene...

used a tim holtz alpha grungeboard as a template.
spray misted it.
then used a gel pen to outline the "S" for selene.
tore the bottom and top edges of the photo, adhered.
then decked out the canvas with scraps, buttons, chipboard that was crackle painted & spray misted.

here's the process:

and what it looks like:

and the intricate lil deetz:

materials:  tattered angels glimmer mists, ranger, jesse james & co, basic grey, fiskars gel pens, crate paper, maya road

i rarely get a chance to do altered projects.
gotta do more of them.
don't cha think?
me think so.

and to save the best for last...
some photo love of all 3 of our girlies together.
finally got a few done of the 3 of them.
must not forget to do one or more of the whole family of 5.
must do it before lil boo leaves for WA for the rest of the summer.

so so so pretty.
i love you.
