One more challenge! i am squeaking in at least one more we’ll see if I can get to any others :-). This challenge was fall with a fancy fold at the Outlawz 1000 member challenge. So I have this cutie image from Tiffany Doodles colored in Copics. (E11, E13, E15, E41, E44, Y23, Y26, B21, YR14, YR15, YR16, YR18). The fold I just learned from one of the DT gals at Outlawz. How cool is this! You can see her example at her blog with some “how too”. Thanks Brenda!


I am including images of the card folded flat,

And this is an extra image to show you the measurements. I know sometimes it helps me to see a map. Feel free to print this off if it is helpful!

 

 

 

 

Hugs all!

Copic-Dyed Rolled Fabric Flower (10/4/2011)

Hello all! i have a fun little tutorial on a card I made for one of the Outlawz challenges this week. There will be more coming so stay tuned. Also if you want to see how I died the fabric head over to Get It Scrapped there is a brand new Copic Tutorial over there by me as well!


Step One – you need your fabric and a Gluber yes it is the funest word in my vocabulary right now and I have a hard time not continuing to repeat it as I use it and pound them on my page. (not necessary but fun!)


Step Two – I tore two strips that are about 1 inch wide and 12 inches long. I also cut two leaves out of died fabric.


Step Three – I twisted my long strip and started spiraling it onto my Gluber like a cinnamon roll from the inside out.


Step Four – I had to use both strips to completely cover the Gluber to the edges, mine is a 2 inch Gluber.


Step Five – I attached my torn mulberry paper to my card base, used glue dots to attach the leaves, added the sticker letters to the bottom left and then to finish pounded on my Gluber happily sing-songing the word several times over. (Just ask my friends, yes I really do that!)

Hugs to all!

So this week has been a little hectic again with extra to-dos and meetings so I realized I was a little off posting here. I just completed this layout last week for a new tutorial over at Get It Scrapped. I think it turned out pretty cute!
This Saturday I am off to a crop so I will have lots of fun pages to share I am sure. Hopefully complete a few challenges as well.
Girls are early release today so I am off to get them!

Hugs to all.

Well as the month of January comes to a close I am blinking and trying to figure out where it went! It has been a busy and productive month for me. I have two new tutorials up at Get It Scrapped, completed a lot of challenges. Including this card to the right. It is the current color challenge from iCopic. I spent the past two days making a stack of Valentine cards with Copic colored hearts on them. I’ll do a short lesson to go with them in the next few days. I taught in Lori’s classroom this past week about artist Milton Avery and even managed to squeeze in a couple doctor appointments around the other business.

The girls are busy as every we wrapped up our cookie sales with 135 boxes sold not much by today’s standards but quite an accomplishment for us. Most of it was door to door by Sara so I am very proud of her.

Rumor is we are expecting another pile of snow. But we are still smiling as of yet since the comparison to last year is still so much nicer!

Happy Sunday to you all and have a great week!

Hugs!

Here is another version of my Copic “new year” numbers. The layout is for the next round of One Month at a Time at Get It Scrapped. You can find the directions for the Copic new year numbers there as well.

The photos are from my birthday ice cream, gotta love Cold Stone. I think these shots of John and the girls will be the true indicators of our lives. I am not sure how many we have at this point looking just like this all snuggled together over Dad’s bowl of ice cream but it is a lot.

In the meantime the weather is holding tight with below zero at night and with wind that take it that cold during the day. We did however manage to get one snowman made though before it all froze solid and he is standing firm in the front yard as I type this.

Hugs!
