ScanNCut: Watercolor paper word

DSC_1366

A current favorite supply? Water color paper. Give me some water color paper and color mediums and I’ll go color crazy! Even better, I can take a computer font and use my ScanNCut to get nearly instant words ready to play with.

Supplies needed: Watercolor paper, color mediums (blendable with other colors), cardstock, black ink, thread, stamp, and ScanNCut

5. Edge word with black ink (bold tip pen), then attach with foam adhesive to card

I am a paid consultant for Brother International Corporation and have received a ScanNCut from Brother to evaluate. However, the opinions expressed are entirely my own and based on my use of the product.

Scrappy Saturday: the pink chair

Where is Ranger? He was boarded last weekend as I went to Ohio to film Scrapbook Soup. Being the new guy in the house well… he needs “boss lady” May around. Which left Miss Scrappy alone on a Saturday afternoon while I tried to photograph a bunch of projects in my favorite spot (new pink ottoman + mermaid color wall)…

I was in the middle of photographing things, turned to get another project, turned back and this is what I found. I couldn’t stop laughing. You see she *loves* this hot pink seat and was apparently done with me using it for my own needs.

Also, apparently she decided she would be the star of her own Scrappy Saturday post once again by being too cute to not photograph.

Just another day in the Flaum family…
