I have six acryllic paint colors - medium blue, navy, white, black, red, and hunter green. Using four or five of them, I was able to mix them to make this excellent matching color of paint for painting the chipboard letters on the above layout. I'm feeling awfully proud of myself!
Anyway, the photos are of Xavier and my two nephews last spring when we went to visit (hold) my newest nephew.
Someday, I'll figure out how to take a photo of my layouts without the flash and with true color, but not today!
May you create this weekend and enjoy the sun!

Hi Mimi - Interesting you should blog about acrylics. I was researching them yesterday on wetcanvas.com as I prepare to paint. I have a box of acrylics that I bought from my last college that I never opened! Here are my 12 colors and I might blog about this on my site:
1. Titain White
2. Lemon Yellow
3. Medium Yellow
4. Brilliant Red
5. Crimson
6. Blue Lake
7. Phthalo Blue
8.Light Green
9. Phthalo Green
10. Yellow Ochre
11. Burnt Sienna
12. Mars Black
I have had these since November 2000 and never opened them!
I am considering an illustration career now.
Oh very cool - just think of what you can do with all those colors!
Enjoy!

Adorable page! Way to go on getting creative with the acrylics!
Hi Mimi - Speaking of beauty, I think that book you sent me opened up the beauty of Ancient Greece for me. I have started reading Plato's Phaedrus and started learning about Ancient Greece and Plato and remembering how I read The Odyssey in high school and Oedipus Rex in junior high school. Thank you for connecting me to Greece. My pagan name is Greek, Atlanta, after Atalanta, the Greek Goddess.
Very cute layout. I particularly like how you did the title. I used to scan my layouts and am now thinking about just taking a stinking picture. I'll have to give it a shot.
Love the page!!! And you are so MacGyver in your scrapbooking....keep it up!!
Hey, that's cool! I like what you did with the title.
I haven't been creating much. (Oh, I guess painting counts.) One of these days I'll unearth my scrap table and make something!
