Project Life Halloween 2012 Layouts
Sometimes I have to wait until the right digital kit/journal cards are released to create my layouts. A couple of months back I downloaded a Monster High kit by Lisete Scrap (at Mscraps) and Brave journal cards by Amber Shaw and Studio Flergs (at Sweet Shoppe) and began to put the layouts together. I am... Continue Reading →
Project Life 2015 Week 5
Finally done with January!
Rainbow Colors
For the flowers, since I don't have a variety of ephemera colors I decided to cut some digital flowers out with the Silhouette Portrait, then color them/color over them. I also don't have a lot of stencils since I'm new to stenciling I had the Silhouette also cut the words and the triangle shapes on... Continue Reading →
Color Harmony and Acrylic on Canvas
Really enjoyed this lesson on color harmony and on canvas. I had some canvas boards on hand. Had them for maybe 2 or 3 years for a rainy day when my daughters might want to paint. Took one apart to paint in smaller blocks (see previous post for example). Ephemera by Pink Paislee. Stencils by... Continue Reading →
Tints and Shades

I used a rolling pin and bubble wrap to create the stamps. The acrylic paint brand I used is Reeves. They were a little on the darker side so I mixed a little bit of white in. The journaling flower is from an ephemera set from awhile ago so I don't know the brand. The... Continue Reading →
12×12 Prints
Ordered 12x12 prints from Persnickety Prints during their sale. I think Persnickety has the best price and quality for 12x12 prints. Prints are $1.99 per sheet and the sale was 25% off per sheet.
Impasto
I'm taking an online class at Studio Calico called Color Theory by Wilna Furstenberg. It's a crafty paint type of class and it's strictly fun but I'm learning a lot more than I had imagined. The first week covered impasto. I didn't have pink acrylic paint (is there such a thing as pink acrylic paint?)... Continue Reading →
