Today is my turn on the Ta Da Creative Studios & Punky Sprouts
Dynamic Duo blog hop!
I got this cute mini from Punky Sprouts called "Junk in my Punk" and decided to make a book
for all our new house pics that I have been taking.
I used the Sizzlng Summer line from Ta Da Creative Studios.
Of course it wont be finished until the new house is finished in June!
But I can show you some techniques you can do with the cover!

First I take off the spine - this makes the pages much easier to work with.


Use a craft knife to separate the corrugated cardboard...


The Sizzlin Summer line I used.
I used a little Faber-Castell gesso to cover the surface.

Here is some Artist Spackle by EcoGreen...This sets pretty quick and you can mix
paint into it or even mist it while it's still wet.


I used various shades of Shimmerz SPritz and Vibez on mine!
You dont have to wait until it's dry to spritz!

I added a title cut with my Creative Memories Storks Delivery Cricut cartridge,
painted it with Shimmerz, then added my papers!

And there you have it!
