Welcome to the Club Scrap Cantina Blog Hop! To return to the start of the hop here. From the moment I saw the sneak peak I wanted to pair the Cantina Collection with this art work by my 10 year old son. He had this hung in the local art museum during Youth Art Month.
 |
| "Happy" |
I've paired this art work with the National Parks Explorer Journal and Explorer Journal 2.0. I used the kit and just changing out the papers for ones in the Cantina Collection. You'll see mine is a hybrid with the original binding and the larger 2.0 pages.
 |
| Be Happy Make Art Journal |
To make the word Happy stand out I cut it out and raised it with foam adhesive. The rest of the title was made from the Cantina Digital Kit alphas that were recolored.

| Raised Happy Title |
On the first page I documented the local art museum exhibit and its star artist.
Inside I added Cantina cut aparts to make locations for mats and tags. I've included heavy mixed media paper and 4 x 6 mats for the pockets. I plan to use this as an art journal.
Happy Crafting,
Debby H

Super art piece and great album.
ReplyDeleteReally great book!
ReplyDeleteDebby your son is so talented, I think I know where he gets it from! P.S. I love that simple stenciled banner on one of the inside pages ;)
ReplyDeleteArtful talents obviously run in the family! I love how you structured the inside of the book and made the outer construction a hybrid of Tricia's two versions. I can't wait to see how you fill it up . . . maybe one day soon we could see some "in progress" photos?
ReplyDeleteDebby, this project is simply awesome. I love that you used the word from his art in the title of your album and that you plan on using it as an art journal, BRILLIANT!! Love this so much.

ReplyDeleteI like the bright colors in your journal. Besides being a great showcase for your son's artwork, it is a better idea than the original National Parks theme.
