baby canvas + a lucky boy

Hello all :) I had SUCH a good sleep last night. It's been a while let me tell you what. I woke up only twice and I was like wow..... so yeah, I think I'm feeling extra wonderful today ^_^

Yesterday DerRick surprised Kody with a huge gift. We had been talking about how he did so well in kindergarten. Been a trooper through the allergies. (not to mention the girl who terrorized him on a regular basis) and still managed to finish the top of his class. Ok, ok...so it's not like he was in the last year of high school but still. We are both very proud of him. So DerRick took him to pick out his very own 

 

Ok. So he is over the moon of course. Jumping and skipping all over the place. He was eating a ring pop as we were getting it out of the box and he says "Can you wipe my mouth off so I can kiss it?" O Lordy...here we go ^_^  So yeah, he is very happy :)

Speaking of happy, I'm able to crop again!!!!!! Oh freak yeah be'be'. I took the time to delete all the junk from my computer and BAMB! I'm cropping all over the place. It sure feels mighty good.

And so I'm feeling good because I got some sleep right? Then I got PS to behave. I mean what else can a girl do but celebrate by creating something extra fantabulous? lol!!!! It's been so long since I touched a canvas. Glad I did today. I made a baby canvas here

Hush Little Baby

 

[supplies- Canvas: Michaels; Lace paper: KI Memories, Letter + word stickers, paint, metal baby feet, chipboard circle & heart, ball chains: Making Memories ; Circle rub-ons: 7Gypsies; Jewelry tags: Staples; Metal rimmed tag: Office Depot; Ink: Stampin' Up!; Letter stamps: Unknown]

I'm going to hang this up so they can see it! Um? Wait..they won't be able to for a while lol. But you know what I mean. I made this by

1. ...taking one of those flat 4x6 canvases from Micheals.
2. I prayed it with spray adhesive. I then turned the green side of a swirl lace paper over so that the white showed. I put that on top of the tacky surface.
3. I painted the whole thing a pale blue. Then took some white and painted from the bottom a little ways up.
4. I added white border rub-ons that are hardly visible in the pictures. As I added my second border it liften off some of the lace paper. SO...it's a good idea to make sure your paint is super dry first. I actually like the way it turned out but still :)
5. then I added the title and yes...a butterfly. I might need medical attention. I'm addicted to them for sure!!!
6. I used my Crop-a-Dial to punch holes in the bottom left and dangled a mess-a-stuff there. Stamped tags, charms etc. And that's it!

And just to let you all know, I added three lists to my side bar. Photoshop Action Resources, Digital Tool Resources, Gift Ideas and Useful Downloads. A lot of the links came from this post. The Picasa download is now available for Mac users as well as PC users :)

Alrighty, I'm hungry!,
