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.

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,
