Last week I got to review Staedtler’s watercolor crayons and I had a fabulous time playing with the crayons. Here is one of the projects I made for the review.
She’s a Dreamer…
Supplies:
Patterned Paper (Creative Imaginations)
Watercolor Crayons (Staedtler)
Pens (Staedtler Triplus Fineliner, & Sakura)
Glitter Glue (Ranger Stickles)
Chipboard (Maya Road, & Fancy Pants)
Rub on (Autumn Leaves)
Mirrors (Heidi Swapp)
Ribbon (Basic Grey)
Paint (Jaquard Lumiere)
Carboard (Personal Stash)
Rhinestones (Wal Mart Cell Phone Bling)

If you enjoy using watercolor pencils I would highly suggest you give these a try too! They looked great when used just like regular crayons, but were pretty awesome after adding water!

*We had a pretty busy weekend but managed to get in a new movie on ppv - The Bucket List
It was a cute movie and encouraged me to start thinking about all of the things I wanted to do at some point in my life. There are a ton of things I would love to see and do in my life and I’m not sure that I will get to do them all but I am going to at least write them down and I’m thinking it would make for an interesting layout as well. So I have started my own bucket list and will continue to add to it. Of course none of us really like to think about not being around to do these things, but maybe if we start a list we can at least encourage ourselves a little more often to reach for our dreams and the things that we want.
April’s Bucket List
1. Have a romantic getaway with Scott
2. Go Skydiving (although I might should make this one of the last things I do in case my parachute malfunctions)..lol
3. Visit Italy - (my grandmother and I always wanted to take this trip together…I really want to go and see it for the both of us)
4. Go Skiing again! (I have been once in Canada, but ended up on crutches the same day so I want another shot at it!)
5. Get a Pedicure (just a small thing really, but I’ve never had one and I am all about keeping my toes polished)
6. Go Deep Sea Fishing
7. Visit Egypt to see the pryamids
8. Have a day of pampering at a Spa..or better yet a weekend at a Spa with my girlfriends!
9. Take some awesome cooking classes
10. Start taking family vacations once a year if possible. I love traveling and it’s even better when it’s with Scott, Memphis, and Charlie….well except for the romantic getaway I would like to take of course.
I know there is a lot more I would like to do but it’s hard to think of everything at once….
Happy Monday and Happy Scrapping!
April
I just watched The Bucket List as well. I liked it. Certainly gives you a lot to think about. You have a great start to yours, as for me, I’m not sure where to start but you’ve inspired me to try!
Your bucket list made me smile April -Italy and Egypt take up two spots on my list as well!
