I've been loving on the paint lately. I enjoy adding extra layers to my work with a few layers of different colored paints, like on this layout:

That is my son getting ready to throw a tantrum. He purses his lips, crosses his arms, and glares at me disgustedly before the screaming starts. LOL! I was so happy I caught this moment, as he has been doing this a lot lately. I think the paint and distressing really compliments his irritable mood.
Today, I just wanted to do something drastically different, so I painted a background on a cakeboard circle. I added a tree, made of distressed cardstock, and then some leather cord to anchor a picture of my son swinging. Overall, though I don't scrap in a "cutesy" style, I REALLY love how this gem turned out.

What do you think? Are you inspired to use some paint, to think outside the "scrap" box? Well, if so, I'm here to challenge you. All you have to do, is use some paint on a layout or project. Make it unique, make it all you. I'll give you until April 1st to get it done, and post a link to it here in the comments of this post. I'll then randomly draw a winner from the participants, and send them a nice RAK. How does that sound? Well, you better get paintin' huh? Have fun!
