I Love Games Mini

Here's a mini I did in 2009 devoted to my love of playing board/card games.

I used a scrabble board for the cover (front and back) and just used cereal boxes that I covered in scrap paper for the inside pages.

dare 180

i haven't scrapped los much lately due to working on other crafty yet some how scrap related projects for the house, etc.

so i've been scouring the net for inspiration and while i keep finding tons of it out there, i keep stalking the effers.

so yet again, i did their recent dare...."the best $___ ever spent!!"

here's my take on it:

i love the way it turned out and i plan on making a mini using this whole concept for some of my thrifty money saving deals i've scored.

this was also the first project i got to use the mister huey's on.

oh where did i get the mister huey's you ask?

why i won dare 178!!!

i won the whole and i mean whole studio calico countryside collection.

it's more fabulous in person! about to play with it now :)

dare 179

these are for the recent dare: dare 179.

post a picture of something you love.

i LOVE taking pictures with film and developing them myself. i'm very fortunate to have access to a dark room and the equipment so this past christmas michael bought me everything i needed. so from putting the film in my camera to taking the pictures outta the chemicals and hanging them to dry, i do everything in between.

and.absolutely.love.it.

due to our summer schedule being outta wack, i haven't had a chance hang out in the dark room so that is why right now these photos are near and dear.

i miss it tremendously.
yes. even the smelly chemicals.

**the 4th of july pics later this weeek :)

because of books.....

sometimes you just need to search around the net for some creative inspiration.

this is a project i did for the recent effer dare.

(click the pic to make it bigger)

when i first started thinking of what i could for the dare "because of..." i instantly thought of books. then i thought how cool would it be if i did a lo in a book.

so i mod podged the pages together so the book would stay open and did my lo on the opened pages. i put two holes in the back of the book b/c i plan running some twine through the holes so i can hang it up on the wall.

i hafta admit....i love the way it turned out :)

thanks effers for the inspo.
