OLW Prompt # 76

I recently stumbled across the One Little Word blog. Love the idea of a single word prompt every month and the variety of layouts that are shared!

I decided that it was something I wanted to try out, so here is my layout for the October prompt.

Color

It's what my world is all about. Rainbow colors. Bright colors. Vintage colors. It surrounds me in my home. In my life. In my studio space. Standing in an art store, surrounded by paint colors, makes me giddy. It captures my attention. It elevates my mood. It's just what I like.....

And one that the dog photo bombed.

Color

 

Retailers are very good at catching your eye with displays featuring pretty colors.

The trick is to not fall for the temptation and buy all the pretties!

Taking photos helps.

Art Journal Magic

Well, I did it. I made time to play in my art journal this past week. Not every day. Like the days we were in San Diego. And a few other random days. But most days I played. And got paint on my fingers. And it made me happy. And it made my heart happy.

Desk Redo

Here's that project I teased you with yesterday. It's my craft desk.

I resurfaced the top of the desk. Saw the idea here  I picked up the multi roll pack of paper tape (1st photo) at Target (around $7) and added 2 rolls of colored duct tape from Lowe's (around $3.50 each). Then I taped, wrapping around the edges. The wider stripes are the duct tape. This took about an hour. Then I added a coat of glossy Mod Podge to help seal the tape. I let it dry overnight.

It turned out super cute. And super easy. And inexpensive. And it looks much better than the messy,old table surface. And I LOVE the pop of shiny color when I come into the room!

I have enough tape left over to resurface Emma's craft table. And maybe something else in the house!

Have a Happy Day! It's almost Friday!
