I did some creative projects this weekend thanks to Ali Edwards " creative weekend projects" . She posted one on Sat. morning saying to take a picture making sure to leave some white space to write on. Some of the examples are a wall, building, sky, grass, anything you can use to get some empty space around your picture then write on that empty space. I don't have anything digital on my computer so didn't write yet, but I did take two pictures that I think will work for this idea. This is such a cool idea I think, sometimes I have had pictures like this and then crop to look better. I will be doing this more often.
My other project that I worked on is from a past weekend creative project of Ali's and it's so inspiring. It's to use those type drawers ( I think that's what she called them) they are like a shadow box or what mine was used for was my minitures collection. It is too fill it up with pictures and embellishments ( goodies) then hang it up and admire. This was a lot of work for me, had to dig out some pictures that would work, my little rectangles were very very narrow, then trim them all to fit and add some 3-d pop dots to the back. I didn't fill it up completely because I want to loook for some special things to put in there now and was running out of time, took me about 5-6 hours to complete. The kids and even my dear hubby said they loved it and how cool of an idea. I f you'd like to see Ali's projects and look at others head on over there by clicking her name on the right hand side of my blog.
Thank you Ali YOU ROCK!!!!

ReplyDeleteI love the idea about leaving empty space on a picture for writing. Did you see Becky Higgins post yesterday about this also?
