“Rainy Day Fun” with Kira

Hey everyone!  It’s Kira and I am back with another travelers notebook layout today!  Confession:  I tend to create all of my Ink Road Stamps projects on the same day.  Which leads me to use the same stamp set, since it’s already out, but in a different way.

You may have caught last weeks blog where I used a phrase stamp from the Stars Hollow set, well while it was sitting on my desk, I caught a glimpse of the umbrella from the stamp set, and had the perfect photo for that stamp.  I grabbed this photo of my youngest son, playing quietly with himself while we were trapped inside on a rainy day.  He is just the absolute best at keeping himself entertained (unlike my oldest son, who believes I am his personal court jester).

In the photo, he is lining up some of his cars and animals, so I gravitated towards this subway map paper as a jumping off point for color.  I grabbed some inks in the colors on the paper, and used them to stamp a pattern on the reverse page with the umbrella.

I didn’t want a ton of space between the umbrellas, so I stamped the umbrellas both right side up and upside down.  My trick for stamping a pattern directly in your TN…start out sloppy, so when you mess up, you won’t notice.  You’re welcome. Lol.

I finished the layout off with some embellishing and journaling and called it done!

Thanks for stopping by!

xo, Kira
