Extra Extra Read All About It!

Welcome to the Artistic Outpost Monthly Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring Masculine projects.  My DH has a special birthday coming up and I wanted to create something special to celebrate.


I started with a leftover paperbag that I thought would be fun to use as a big pocket for a series of tags.
I asked each of my kids to write down a series of memories they shared with their dad and I filled out the remaining ones to equal 50 special moments of time.


I cut out pieces of lined paper to use on the front of the tags.  I sprayed gold glimmer mist over stencils on the white paper to give different patterns and effects.  I stapled the paper to tags which were glimmer misted to match.  I distressed all the edges with brown dye ink.  I stamped the Paperboy in the bottom corner and colored with the image with watercolor pencils and waterbrush. I added a few stamped Extras randomly.

Each tag has stamped images mixed in with the journalling. 

The bag uses a combination of Glue Paste and gold Glimmer mist.  I stamped the boy from the PaperBoy onto the envelope.  I added a mix of the Newspaper words from the Paper plate and the ledger plate from Ephemera Backgrounds. I added the clocks from Auld Lang Syne along the top right of the pocket.

Hop along to the other fabulous inspiration from the other DT members:
