Doodling the Weekend Away

I'm out of town for my birthday weekend with my bestie at a scrapbooking retreat. 
We've been having a blast so far!!

I've got a good start on the kids' 8x8 scrapbooks for next year's Disney trip
(5 albums!! YES, 5! My three kids, my niece, and my nephew).

We caught a humming bird.
Yep, you read that right.
Friend caught the poor little thing.
She was inside all day and they couldn't get her out.
She was tiring out.

I've done a few Disney layouts from the trip we took in August.

I've played in the art journals.

And today I'm working on Halloween party invitations!
WOOHOO!!

I spent some time doodling last night, and playing with watercolors.
Yes, these look like a 12 year old drew them, but they are fun!

Print the Screaming Skulls collage sheet twice. Cut out the anatomy skulls. Paint the image with some matte medium, mod podge, or cheap Elmer's white glue, and slap it face down onto the tag. Let dry. Once dry, wet the back of the image,...
