is that a tat design?

In passing, Jason and I had talked about my idea for a tattoo design (for him) and I’d forgotten all about it. Last night he came in my studio and was checking out my idea notebook very closely. He didn’t look too thrilled at what I was working on and seemed a bit confused. “Why would I tattoo solio on myself with waves?” he asked.

“uh, you wouldn’t. Actually I’d forgotten about that because I got so into this new project. Are you looking at my idea notebook? That’s for a class I’m working on Mr. Nosy pants! That’s for a scrapbook, not a tattoo. Oh, and that says SOLID, as in solid color not designed.”

“ok” he replied. “That’s cool though.” and walked out.

So goes another session of ‘whatcha doin’ May’. What I’m doing now is the very slow and methodical work of craft knife + design cutting…

new toy-

well ‘toy’ might be stretching it, but I’m really loving American Crafts cardstock for both texture and the price!

aaaa

Right now I’m experimenting and playing- and making some quick & simple pages that I owe my 2009 scrapbook!

I don’t know if I’ll add more or not- it’s sitting in the ‘done? or not?’ place of honor right now. Off to the next project!

one more NSD prize:

I’m not sure what all will end up being in this box, but right now I’ve got a new set of Sakura Glaze pens (SO AWESOME), a pair of Fiskars scissors, and a Cosmo Cricket chipboard house/minibook…

winner to be drawn Monday- just leave a comment here- hope you had a happy NSD! I’ll share my (1) creation soon!
