Donna Reed Dreams


Everybody Loves Raymond reality...

~ELR detail~
The current Pink Ninjas challenge:

Prompt - Dream a little dream.
Technique - NO patterned paper
Pink Twist - Buttons

OK, so you obviously get the prompt aspect...

I fudged just a leeeetle bit on the technique.  While my background definitely does not contain patterned paper, I cut the ballerina girl out of patterned paper...so does that count?  Hmmm..

And I didn't include any pink buttons.  I was going to...I felt compelled to but something stopped me. 

~vacuum detail~

The base of the layout is a piece of cardboard that I painted erratically with white.  Then I dipped buttons in lime, turquoise, and yellow paint and decorated the base.  I laid it on thick on purpose because then I heated up the paint so it bubbled.  I LOVE that!   The buttons I used are decorating the house. 

I filled my perfect house with some Donna Reed dreams...modern day Donna Reed, of course.  All natural, organic, no-high-fructose-corn-syrup, low sodium diet.  Rockin body.  Organized, clean scraproom.  Beautiful garden and outdoor environment.  $$$$$. 

Yeah.  Not exactly my current reality.  I'm working on it, though...

(Look!  I sneaked in one of my current loves of my life onto the layout...my Shark steam mop.  Luh-huh-huv it!)

Hop on over to the Pink Ninjas blog to check out what AMAZING AWESOMENESS the rest of the Ninjas made for your inspiration.  Trust me!  These are some of the most amazingly talented chickies evah!
