Out of the box this one was done with no sketch just a color inspiration and a crazy idea in my head. This weeks color challenge at CCG is blue, red and green with the added challenge of using a hot air balloon. Remember my "Letter from Mom" page? Well I have been meaning to write a letter to my son but a doily didn't sound right...This challenge had my brains in full gear and I thought it would be fitting to scrap his recent graduation photos to write my letter in a "diploma". I even burnt the edges with fire, for reals!!! gave me a scare. Then I made holes in the page and tied his letter with some ribbon. Here is a close up:
And here is the finished piece!
This weeks challenge at
citycrafter is to go back to basics, using cardboard and paints I created a frame ( I missed that week) to write and paint a quote to inspire! I took Ros advice to heart to gey messy and be creative!

Wow, great projects, Milagros!! SO inspiring! I love your son's graduation page. All those circles are so eye catching, and the hot air balloon is a great piece of symbolism for his graduation.......the sky's the limit.
And just love your note written on the diploma, although I had to chuckle over the burning the edges part. ;)
And your frame is just gorgeous! Love corrugated cardboard, and your frame is stunning. Love the mitered corners and the messy paint, and your painted quote looks fantastic.
Thanks for visiting my blog and for becoming a follower.
I love your son's graduation layout... wow, you sure put out the effort on this ... so very worth it too. What a great keepsake and so well done. Love your frame idea, too. Great quote.
