I Had No Idea What I Was Making :)

Ever since I saw this post 

at A Colorful Journey

I haven't stop thinking

about what to do.

I mean I am the Queen of frugal

and reusing stuff when it comes to

art and scrapbooking.

Now the idea here wasn't to scrapbook

it just started with knowing that I needed a background.

And to tell you the truth I made this 

while my preschool classroom was doing art

I sat with my kids to do art together

(and they love it!)

Anyways, I used the watercolors dot markers

also called bingo markers

and started with the lighter color

marking circles all over the page.

Then I came home and went to my recycle bin

and found this red envelope from a Christmas card.

I cut the corners, but since the envelope was written on the front

all over the place, I only used two of the corners.

Then I used an edge puncher to decorate the plain edge,

and place it on my background.

It looked a little plain so I went ahead and started

decorating the circles with a fine black permanent marker

making swirls, stitches, zig zags and little x's

in a few of them.

So far I had no idea what I was making,

then... the idea just came to me:
"this could be a background for a picture"

I've been wanting to go back to scrapbooking so much

that I really, really! don't want to put it off anymore.

So I looked in my stuck of pictures and place one right in the middle.

Thank you so much for visiting me:)

And thank you Carolyn for the challenge 

and encouragement to use what we already have :)

Now I don't want to stop

making art and scrapbooking :)

Love,
