Lucky to have Papa LO & Sisters altered art!

Here is the REVISED. Luckily I had a spare piece of bazzil the same exact color and the ATG tape is semi re positionable. So I took everything up and did the whole thing over. The X tape I used is also re positionable thank god. Where I traced it in white I had to redo it because other wise you would of saw it! Car stock cover was a good idea but would of taken away from the clover. Thanks for the support sistahs! lol



So while my sister was in boot camp over the summer, I made her this. I just added the pictures and finished it. Talk about starting something and not finishing it! That is me. I have many projects like this that I start and have no time to finish. I got this cool lil wood thing at the dream, many, many months ago! I used this cool paper, It has been so long I forget the line. Prima flowers and Brads, nice pretty purple ribbons compliments of Walmart! Thank you very much. The plastic flowers are Queen & CO and the brads in the middle are cloud9. Bling in the middle flower is from the Dream on the other two flowers I picked them up at Walmart. They are actually marketed for Cell Phones, but work just the same on scrappy things such as this. The arrows I got at Michaels, forget who makes them. The flower bling on the top is from a Prima Flower/bling/Ribbon pack I got at the dream when they first started selling prima. Rub ons are used on the two outside flowers and stamped love on the middle flower. The first flower the pic was taken on a booze cruise, the next flower was at my baby sisters graduation, and the other was taken on my birthday last year. Always is letter beads from Walmart. I love working with them as you can see in many of my lo's.









































This papa Lo is great. Only one MAJOR problem. I mixed up the letters to Lucky by mistake and outlined them so how the heck am I going to fix that?????? I love how it came out. I used my pencil and free hand drew a clover. Then I painted it with glitter glaze. I always wanted to use this stuff. I have had it forever and just used it for maybe the second time ever. Gives it such a textured glitter look. I used my Signo pen to outline the letters in Green and the letters in white I outlined with my green Marvy marker. I doodled along the wave you can't tell from the scan but I left about 1/4 of an inch of the green paper and journaled on the opposite side of the wave. Journaling reads.... You love when Papa comes over to play. You like to cook, read, and do puzzles. You just love your papa!

That's an "oopsie" if I've ever seen one! I would just leave it as it. What are ya gonna do? I think mistakes are sometimes what makes thing memorable, ya know?
I actually noticed the Sisters on the wall and was going to comment on it like 15 times but we kept chatting about other stuff. :p

I was going to suggest that you could mount the words on a piece of cardstock and stick it overtop the original oopsie. I can't wait to see the redo though.

I love the sisters piece. Super creative. Those flower blings from the Dream are great. I still have a whole set of green that I love.

I can't believe you are redoing it! I am so lazy!

Is Sharon on vaca? Where the heck has she been????? EARTH TO SHARON! Do you read me???

What's so funny? said...

Sorry girls, I was at The Dream today, workin' my magic. Wall to wall of new product. Six grand in new stamps from Amuse. Believe it. I'm not even a stamper and I got some. Nichole P. would LOVE some of them even - very Bam Pop. Anyway, I loved all this and jealous that you got so much done! I can't wait to see the new layout. I'm queen of redo-s and covering up art mistakes. I would have dismantled a quarter of the page and rebuilt it. Remember the DOODLE challenge. Heh heh. I recognize the sisters piece from the store! I almost got the Friends album today but was distracted by those blasted stamps! I started a layout from our crop night and can't figure out how to finish it. I need you guys for inspiration!

Oh! And also, I remember you did the same thing (reversing letters) back when I was in a challenge against you for the Halloween crop! Remember that?! No worries, it's charming. As for the Believe album, I'm getting one and rockin' it out with Tinkerbell stuff. Fairies. Mystical coolness. Uh-huh. That's right. Jealous??? Bet you wish you'd thought of that FIRST. Especially Nichole P. I can't wait to get started. If ONLY I could discipline myself to get that and no more STAMPS. Aaaaahg!

Wow Nicole! Great redo! It looks fabulous. I love green, so this LO is just my style.

Sharon, you are such a lucky devil. LUCKY! Amuse stamps? I never really heard of them before. I know I know, I'm so out of the loop.

But I did FINALLY purchase some Love, Elsie stuff from Two Peas and it came the other day. My favorite thing I got was the camera shaped chipboard album. Not sure how to use it yet, but I love it.
