 Also a few weeks back Mommys Crafts Side was doing some prize giveaways on Facebook. I won one her prizes; a very cool  bottle cap kit.

Now, my Scraptastic club kits were supposed to be here today but, my post office messed up and sent it to the wrong place. I hope it will be here tomorrow.

Over at Cookin' Up Creations we're having all sorts of fun with Nursery Rhymes. I have today's Nursery Rhyme Challenge. I chose If All The World Were Paper.

If all the world were paper,

and all the sea were ink,

if all the trees

were bread and cheese,

what should we have to drink?

I chose to focus on the Ink & paper part of the rhyme. I challenge everyone to use misters on their projects. It could be a paint or dye/ink mister. 

Here is the layout I created for the challenge

Carstock: Tan - Darice, Light Pink -DCWV

Pattern Paper: Coffee Bean - Paper Pizzaz, Floral, Stripe & Dot - MME

Ok, so this layout need it's own video soundtrack to go with it. Here is the back story with it. My son Liam loves the Beastie Boys' song Sabotage. He loves the video even more - not sure if it's the cars, moustaches, sunglasses or the 70's vibe of it all. So, one night I hear him singing along to the song. I come into the dining room to find him making a video to this song. he stops it long enough to ask me to pretend to punch him for the drama part of his mini movie.
