Life Is One Big Adventure

I did this quick and easy canvas for the Design Team at The Crafty Scrapper.  This is my grandson Logan and he loves to fish!!

 I was given these fishing papers and Logan came to my mind immediately!  He loves fishing and loves driving the boat!!  Now him driving the boat can be scary for me!!

I painted the background a light blue and then added a stencil.  I inked a darker blue around the edges of the canvas.

I used real fish hooks and then cut out a small worm and tied it to the hook.  

I used these two oars and then glued on the cut out fish!

 I had this piece of string in my stash and decided to glue it on and then added this big fish!

 

Thank you for looking and please visit The Crafty Scrapper.  You will find this canvas there and on the back you will find all that I used on this canvas.

Memory

I did this layout for the Design Team at The Crafty Scrapper.  I love the papers which reminded me of my dad who at the age of 17 joined the navy.  Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on his 17th birthday and being one of 11 kids he and several of his brothers joined the services. 

I made everything red, white, and blue.  I really miss my dad these days but I know I will see him again.  I used several pieces of papers that I tore and added corrugated cardstock as well as burlap.

I love the flowers and added sprigs of the burlap.

I used a gold glittery alphabet letters.  My dad was so young which he lied about his age so he could join the navy!  

Thank you again for looking and please visit The Crafty Scrapper and on the back of this layout you will find the list of items that I used.
