Fresh Take on School Supplies…

August 31, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

This morning we did a 'dry run' for our first day back to school tomorrow!  Everybody did well, adjusting to the earlier morning and they are excited for the real thing tomorrow.  It is going to be Q.U.I.E.T. in this house tomorrow.  But I've got a painting job to do in Courtney's room, so I will be quite busy.

Meanwhile, one final school supply needed some adjustment.  Courtney's teacher had requested a Trapper Keeper style notebook.  We couldn't find one that Courtney liked, and then Brianna took out hers from last year.

Hmmm, it has her name and some more scrawled on the front.  In permanent marker of course.  Regardless Courtney can see the possibilities with this notebook – and I know just what to do to give it a facelift.  Use my Copic Markers and my airbrush!

Courtney's favorite color is blue, and this seemed like it would be able to obscure the 'graffiti' on the notebook.  I taped down a couple of pieces of cardstock to mask the pink design on the notebook and took a piece of KI Memories lace cardstock and some blue markers….

And the result was a custom airbrushed binder that meets her needs and taste!

I put a light coat of PYMII Acrylic UV Sealer over the top to protect the work from handling and fading and VOILA it is as good as new.  Better – because she knows that Mommy made it for her.

So the backpacks are at the ready.  The laundry and dishes are in progress.  Now I'm off to the grocery store to get a little bit of this and that.  And then I'll take the short people to the pool for their last day of Summer.

It is a beautiful day.

About Sally Lynn MacDonald

Profile photo of adminSally Lynn often mixes her love of creating and teaching art with her high-tech side – blending a love of handmade art with hybrid-digital media in what she playfully calls her ‘studio lab’. Every now and then her large-format printer is subjected to printing on a surface that definitely is not listed in the owners’ manual.

She is a maven for studio organization, using her abilities to use spreadsheets and databases to bring order from chaos. “It’s marvelous when the right and left brain actually work together in the studio!” Read More…
