Week 17---Documented Life Project

This week's challenge was to put some favorite shoes on the page. Well, that was easy for me because I love Keds and have worn them since I was a little kid.  I even wore then when they went out of style and you could barely find any cute colors. But now, on my goodness, Taylor Swift has endorsed them and the style are so cute. Even Kate Spade has styles. I guess what goes around comes around!!

Fun Background and a Great Quote

I was going to do a little quick tutorial on how to create these wonderful and colorful backgrounds then I thought I can just tell you. It's so easy. And most of you have probably done this technique.

For this background I took some of my Dylusions Spray Inks that I used for "Lollapalooza Two: The Spray Journal". Then I sprayed some colors fairly "juicily"( I like to make up words) on a sheet of Fabriano Artistico Watercolor paper then put Saran Wrap on top it. 

The cheaper the better for the Saran wrap actually---generic is good.

Then I crinkled the Saran wrap around on the watercolor paper. 

You can see the wonderful crinkles right away. Crinkle it as much or little as you desire.

I let it sit over night and it's like Christmas morning pulling it off to see on the wonderful texture. 

This is a great way to create some colorful snippets for your "Lollapalooza One: Snippet Journal".

 I used my own Neuland font I created from Fontifer and added the quote. 

Feel free to download this one and print it as one of your snippets if you want to. 

I had fun creating these backgrounds and you will too!
