I decided to make a mini album with this week's image, this image is prefect for summer memories. I used a couple of the items I picked up at the HOOT convention in Ohio, the white dots on the ice cream were made with DecoArt's Snow Writer which is a dimensional paint and you can't see it in the picture but on the cone I added some DecoArt Craft Twinkles.

All of the embellishments and printed papers are from docrafts Little Meow collection which I won via facebook and docrafts.

 

I sprayed the solid papers with my ebrush and a variety of markers. I used my Cinch to bind the pages.

In my mind nothing can beat the clear blue summer skies especially here in Arizona where the skies are totally clear, we can go for days without seeing a single cloud.

 

I thought this bubble fairy was really cute and blue fairies are the best. I printed her then colored her with colored pencils and added some Accent Essentials to the bubble, "highlight" areas and to her wings then I sprinkled some blue glitter on her wings. I also added some blue and white stickles to fill in some of the area between the bubbles. Here is a bit closer look at the shaker that I filled with blue and white beads plus a few blue and silver sequins.

 

 

 After making the shaker element I cut a piece of watercolor paper to fit my pre-made card base. I colored the paper with my eBrush then used a damp paint brush to spread the color around then I added some circles using a stamp from My Creative Time with blue ink.
After wrapping a ribbon around the folded edge I added a crystal flower and some silver sequins.
