Which is a pretty unusual occurence LOL. What was I thinking about? How to fit only ten elements on a layout. Intially when I saw the latest Olympic challenge, I thought, yep, no probs, I love clean and simple. But once you've thrown a bit of cardstock, pp and photos, you're getting through a whack of your ten allowable elements allright - so this one sure is a challenge!
I promised Mandy a Puff Paint recipe, no photo tutorial sorry, too busy this week doing 'stuff' for Father's Day! And we have a series of relievers till the end of term. Mix half a cup of flour, two dessertspoons of baking powder, two dessertspoons of salt with some paint and water till you get a thick consistency, (more blobable than paintable!) about the consistency of a really thick porridge. Paint onto cardboard with it - we use paper plates as they are so easy. Throw the painting in the microwave for around twenty seconds (lots of paint, cook for longer, less paint, cook less time). And there you go, a new masterpiece, and a puffy one at that! Great idea for home as well, especially on a rainy day, as there isn't really any mess involved and the kids love working the microwave.
Have a great wahoot Wednesday, enjoy those coffee's - you coffee addicts, and I'll go have my cool refreshing glass of...water!

I dont know what you mean by addict, really!!! And while I am at it, I had a glass of water last Wednesday and it wasn't the same lol. Now that sounds like an interesting recipe for puff paint. As for that challenge I wrote a lst and I only have room for three embellishments...eeeeks
Well, we didn't call it a challenge for nothing!! The first 2 have been EASY, now you'll have to work for your medals, ROFL :-)
Seriously though, I'm sure you will whip up another stunner, as usual!
I'm thinking on the 10 thing too ... can't wait to see what you come up with. And coffee addict ... I could do with another coffee about now...
Ooh - coffee - said in my best drooling Homer Simpson voice - or should that be donuts. Oh well never mind - must be one of those days.
Look forward to seeing what you come up for the challenge.
And that puffy paint sounds like fun.
Cool, thanks, Trace.
I'm not Mandy, but will be trying that recipe with the kids.
Always looking for new and cool art ideas we can do at home that aren't a major operation. :)
I'm sure even my age kids would love to have a go at puffer paint. I am looking forward to seeing everyones layouts for the next olympic challenge and don't envy the judges one little bit.
