My Mind’s Eye – The Crafty Maven Getaway

Hello everyone it is Crystal with Pineapple Papers and I am up on the Crafty Maven Getaway today. Today I am digging into my stash. I have this drawer full Christmas stuff. It really is a mess and there is no organization to it. I have been loving all the Christmas videos in July. I just didn’t have a time so I want to play a little this month.

I first dug through the drawer and picked out several items I wanted to play with. I have these My Minds Eye large letters. This makes the focus the main part of my page.

I really wanted to use several of the scraps of paper that were in my stash. I pulled them out and layered them up based on the size they were. No cutting involved. I love paper. The more paper I can get on a page makes me happy.

Because the title was so big there was not much room for embellishments. Mainly a few brads, sequins and stickers.

I hope that this inspires you to dig in your stash.

Head over to the YouTube channel and Facebook group for inspiration.

Remember to wear your crown.

Happy Monday. Hope you are doing well. Today I am digging way, way back into my paper stash. All of the papers I used today have to be at least 2-3 years old and I think at least one of them is around 10 years old (by the way, where has the time gone??).

Here is what the overall layout looks like.

For the background I used a smooth cardstock and primed it with Dina Wakley gesso. I used some Mr. Huey’s and Heidi Swapp Color Shine. Most of the color was put down with the packaging technique. I added a few black splatters to top it off.The chipboard came from a My Mind’s Eye 12×12 chipboard sheet. I really like the colors and the paper I used for the layers went well.I added a bit of journaling and my title and the layout is done.
