Art Journaling- "Paint"

Over at the Stampin' Dymonz Scrap Shack I am participating in a Art Journal challenge on one of the forums. Each week .......a "prompt" is listed and you create your journal page based  on your interpretation of the prompt.  This week the prompt is "Paint".  Well, The intro of the Art Journal  was making a journal.  I did not make a journal ...but did alter a journal that I though would serve the purpose.  Here are a couple of journals that I "altered" ...One for a very good friend of mine and  the other for Stampin' Dymonz....Don't you just love this craft.......And I used "paint" on both...... There are so many activities going on over at the Scrap Shack.....Check it out.......Oh, I have started my "paint" page...just have not completed it. (hehe)......I'll post when I'm finished.......TFL

RAK's- "Gifts from the Heart"-Altering Wooden Letters-=T,S,C,H,L,I.

Oh my....I have a "lot" going on right now and find that I am burning the candle from both ends.  I participated in a letter altering  challenge over at the Scrap Shack....... enjoyed it so much I decided to make a few for the ladies.....AND....I  also got a special request from one of my sisters....  I have always used these letters to make last minute gifts....As they do make an easy to do ..."last minute" project.

I think I am totally finished with "altering" letters for a minute......Everyone should have received their package by now (except Helen-"Croms).....But...... here they are: 

The letters were purchased from M's.  They are made of  MDF and are approximately 11x 7. I used Acrylic Paint. and PP to design the letters. 

If you use Acrylic paint on this type of board ....It's best to use a better quality artist paint....The MDF board  absorbs the paint...And the artists paint does not absorb as much........Better coverage...and fewer coats of paint.  Drying time is also faster with the artists paint.
                                                                           
I also used various embellies (stickers, rubons, jellies, seam binding, ribbon, bling, ets, ) to personalize each for the person that I made it.
                                          

I made this one for my sister
