Blue Box Art Party!!

Today was a very fun and colorful day. :) I received my Blue Box: Art Party In A Box from Blue Twig Studio a couple of weeks ago, and today I was able to have some friends over to do our project!! Everything for the entire project was included in the box, all we had to bring was the creativity. I was very excited and so were my friends, excellent combination! Add some music, muffins (and kiddos running around) and you've got yourself a party!

We started by painting our canvases with the background colors.

 

Everyone has different styles and personalities, so I was very excited to see what people were going to create. :)

Then we started to play with the stencils! We all decided that stencils are awesome and we don't use them near enough in the other things we do. 

 Jen's turned out really cool!

 Amy's drying her piece....

 "What are you kids up to over there?" :)

 Beth's looked really cool! She was trying to decide whether or not to add some purple I had dug out of the closet. My graceful action of spilling coffee all over the table made the decision for her. But she saved the canvas!! :)

Then we were able to add our ribbons. Everyone's pieces started taking on a little different personality with the background paint and stenciling, but it was really fun to see the different ways people applied the ribbons.

Amy figuring out her ribbon placement :)

 Jen lets her's dry a little before the next layer

 Beth making sure the sides get secure. 

 Get it in all the nooks, Amy!

 Hey! Who's that sneaking around my feet! Neva had to see what we were up to. :)

 My finished product.

Everyone was able to choose a word band that they liked and fit their personality.

 Beth's art! "Possibility begins with imagination"

 Amy's Art! ""Know in your heart you are loved"

 Jen's Art!! "Capture life's moments" (Very fitting for a wedding and event planner!) :)

My Art! "Embrace imperfection" 

Fitting for every aspect of my life. :)

We had a great time during our Blue Box: Art Party In A Box! Everyone was very happy with their finished pieces and love the fellowship and girl time. It was a great way to spend the day! :)
