Acrylic Shapes

Ugh. I have been awake since 4 am. I have caught my 50 millionth cold or something of the year. Ok, that is an exaggeration but I feel like I have been sick all of 2008! And its not even a cold. I dont know what it is. Misery? I caught a misery bug. haha..it sure does make me look forward to being Mommy today!| I feel so bad when I am not 100% for my kids. Jaden didnt seem himself yesterday, hopefully he isn't catching it too.

ANYWAY.

I love acrylic. I love dressing it up, glitterizing it, rubons, ribobn, anything. I love acrylic. They get kind of pricey though and I have to scrapbook cheaply.

My favorite thing about creating is when most of the stuff (embellishments) I use is what I have made or designed to then add to the page, book, project I am working on.

So I thought to myself "I can make my own shapes!" ...and I did! I used a saw that my father in law gave Micah last year for wood work, bought the acrylic at home depot and went to work. I did everything out of shapes I drew. Granted, they are simple shapes, but I drew them (see the bird in there?) There are so many possibilities with this. I want to do my own acrylic album project at some point.
