Another layout and article over at Get It Scrapped. This time the theme is Fall Outings. you can read a lot more HERE.
Here is my contribution
And here is another layout that I used the identical products on – same paper line, same package of flowers, I added the burlap and changed the background colors to get the Southwest feel but this is a fall outing too!
I like how both turned out and both are favorite fall outings 🙂
Happy Wednesday everyone!
Here is my next layout over at Get It Scrapped. It is part of a article about adding critters to your pages. I love the pin board that Debbie included and the symbolism of all the fun critters. Lots of inspiration, to see the article click here.
We just had a great weekend with our little family, visiting the zoo, eating out and in general loving up on each other. Now I better get a move on I have projects due, a house to clean and… you know life!
Happy Monday everyone!
Good morning and welcome to a very special blog hop! I am excited to announce my participation and publication in the new Copic Coloring Guide, Level 3: People!
Authors Colleen Schaan and Marianne Walker have partnered up again with the team at Annie’s and some of the most talented artists and designers in the industry to bring you a quality publication packed full of techniques, theory, tutorials, and inspiration. The 64-page book is the next step in the Coloring Guide series, offering information and educational material for crafters of all skill levels.
From the how and why behind picking colors and coloring skin to the tips and techniques for coloring hair to the helpful hints on how to create realistic looking clothing and fabric, this book presents information in an easy-to-follow format.
An included CD contains all of the hand-drawn images used in the tutorial section of the book, along with the assembly instructions for all of the projects, and a number of blank reference charts.
Copic Coloring Guide Level 3: People is now available at many stamping and scrapbooking stores. Visit your local store today and ask about availability. It is also sold through the Annie’s catalog, accessible online at Annie’s.
For those of you visiting my blog for the very first time please consider subscribing to my mailing list over at the right. I only send out about 4-5 notes a year announcing the on-line classes I am teaching and the projects I am involved in like this amazing blog hop! In January I will be teaching a new Copic Ink Effects class and you could be one of the first to hear about it and get in on the early bird deal!
I recently decided to put together a little hair do-dad for myself for when I go to crops, conventions and for when I am teaching. I want everyone to know about Creative Passion and the amazing classes we have there and I figured what better way to show that love then to walk around with it displayed on my head! He he. So here is what I did…
The supplies I used can be exchanged and played with a lot. Use what you have in your stash and find a button that shows your love! I colored a paper flower, a crocheted flower and lace with my Copics so they would match perfectly with my Creative Passion button. I also used a Gluber to hold things together, needle thread and a large hair clip.
Step #1 – I used the pin on the back of the button to attach the button onto the paper and then crocheted flowers.
Step #2 – Next I added the Gluber on the back of the crocheted flower. (You could skip this step and sew it all together instead, I just love using Glubers)
Step #3 – Take the lace and gather it along one edge, adhering it to the center of the Gluber. Work your way all the way around the Gluber.
Step #4 – Sew the hair clip onto the lace. Make sure it is facing the way you want so you can get the button right side up in your hair!
All done! Here are the two that I made. A friend NEEDED one as well. Any way fun and sweet and oh so easy!
TUNE IN THIS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19TH FOR A MAJOR BLOG HOP AND GIVEAWAY!
Then next week I will show you some layouts I created at CKC and the amazing Copic/doodly apron I wore around 🙂
I spent the last weekend at the Kansas City, Creating Keepsakes Convention. I got to visit my FABULOUS friend Brenda, take a few classes, shop way too much, scrapbook way too late and I even got to teach two classes. I taught “Inky Doodle Journal” and “Oodles of Doodles” Both groups worked on a mini album. We got a lot done but did not quite complete the albums. One of the participants in Oodles asked if I would post my big collection of repetitive pattern doodles here so here it is!
I hope I will see several of them over at Creative Passion as well. Many seemed interested. Anyway it was a huge success all in all and I plan on returning next year to play, shop, scrap and teach again!
I hope everyone else had as equally as nice a weekend. Happy Monday!
