Remnants of Camp Auntie Betsy and Eggcellent Mists

This is what is left from Camp Auntie Betsy.  27 Hours of wild crazy fun with 3 wild crazy girls.

This lovely sil made her first layout:

and then exclaimed "I LOVE scrapbooking!"  (yea for me!)  And isn't she CREATIVE?!

this little monkey is quite a natural when given paper and safety scissors:

and the other sweetie pie made load of pages, but bad Auntie forgot to take a picture.  But lots and lots of pictures were taken here:

and now I think I need to recover and sleep for 27 hours!

But before I leave!  A little bit of my experiment misting eggs:

I blew out some eggs, put them on skewers and stuck them in the ground.  I mixed some favorite mists of  Jenni Bowlin for Ranger dye ink and experimented with distance, amount of dye.  I just LOVE the natural speckled look to the eggs you can get with mist.

Since egg shells are not entirely porous, it can be a bit difficult to get the ink to dry.  The best methods I found were:  1) sandpapering the egg lightly first or 2) using the ScrapPerfect pouch on the egg.  I sped up drying with my heating tool also.

Then I wired and decorated the eggs simply - a bead, button, ribbon, JBS Charms . . . 

sweet, no?

thanks for coming by!
