crafty

I'm not creative. Or crafty. But I can aspire.

One of my internet friends did this project from Pinterest and I loved the results, so I decided to give it a shot since I had some free time this weekend...

Shockingly easy (though now I have 3/4 of a medium bottle of Mod Podge left - I didn't know how much I'd need - and might need to find more things to slick it over).

I ordered prints through Snapfish, since they a) have pick up at Walgreens b) will print bigger than 4x6 and c) I could have them same-day (mail order is cheaper, but even the 8x10s were only $2.99).

So here goes...

scrapbook paper and one photo glued down.

The instruction post said to make the sides a smidge small.  I didn't do this, and it worked out ok since I was able to wrap them around to the back...

with a layer drying on top....

I bought two extra "just in case" canvases and couldn't stop. Of course, I'd only gotten 2 8x10s....so I improvised...

I stink. I really need to get the hang of aperture. And try out a tripod. And maybe be more patient.

live, the moon was huge at the time

but not streaking to earth meteroid style

mercury? venus? no, its pin moon!

shockingly, "Portrait of Christmas in the Suburbs" was also a failure

Snow, snow...snow. We also bailed on the Super Bowl party since its kind of icy out now...

explain please

(Yes, I snapped this furtively while in line for my fancy overpriced but amazing salad).

The back buckle says Gucci. I don't care if its Gucci (or if its real). You're wearing a fanny pack. And, you're wearing the fanny pack with what I assume are your gym clothes, unless full body spandex has also made an unfortunate comeback, so you're not even wearing it fashionably. Can you wear a fanny pack fashionably?

can't say it better

I downloaded and cropped my photos as a writing break last night. Tonight, the upload. You have no idea how much restraint this requires.
