We're leaving for a vacation in Yellowstone in a week, and will be driving back home on Father's Day, so I need to get Riley's present for his Daddy ready before then. I had originally intended to do something with a mold of his handprints, and I bought a kit. Boy, was that a mistake-what a mess! Not something you can do with a seven-month old! So Dad will have to settle for a two-dimensional piece of art instead.
I did manage to get Riley's painted handprint on this piece though, and it's just as cute! I also used photos of the two of them and wrote out a list of fun things they share. It turned out nicely I think. And I was able to use my new scanner-finally a piece of art that worked in it!Cori has asked how my files are organized (from yesterday's post).

ReplyDeleteI love your pages, and just came to see your blog. I think you could do a book on "special occation collages", because I have not seen such a book around... A chapter on fathers day, a chapter on spring, easter, christmas, birthdays... And talk about book projects as gifts and collages as celebrations.. hmmm... now when I think about it's a great idea!
