This cool layout is entering two challenges. Frosted Designs are having a PAINT challenge and I thought to myself, "My scrap room is already messy... why not!"
And Kaisercraft Sketch #2. Kaiser had the paper, the paint and the sketch I needed at their Saturday Sketches blog.
The Saturday Sketch was by Richelle Barker for Kaisercraft
So there I was. Faced with paints and kitchen utensils I was OUT of my comfort zone! (In my early childhood classroom for sure, but in my scrap room - eek!)

I used the Kaisercraft Superhero, Dare Devil and Rough and Tough papers I had in my stash.
Luckily they are all double sided.
I cut strips from here, squares from there and a lot of little bits in the air, everywhere, it was a Kaiser kind of day.
hahaha... sorry, early childhood teacher at play.
Fork printed some of the background elements.
Whisk painted the small photo mats and strip elements.
Meat Mashered the pocket and the element strips. LOVED the texture this created on the paper too when dry.
Then it got real messy.
Took my roller and some paint.
Evenly spread paint over roller.
Rolled paint evenly onto the kitchen non-slip mat.
(or jar lid opener)
Pressed it evenly onto the paper.
Voila! A creative photo mat for the main photo.
This was the actual recipe inside the pocket.
The font used on the titles were Distress and Smash.
I cut 'Cooking Up Trouble' out with Sure Cuts a Lot2 in Smash font and used the outside paper as a stencil to sponge the paint through.
Both the Dare Devil and Rough and Tough papers are filled with elements and letters to use for small titles and elements.
Then of course, without fail, I inked. Distress Inks Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint and Scattered Straw. Every page has to have a bit of Tim Holtz!
Sorry if your scroll button is broken. It was a long post.
