Die cuts from Wilna Furstenberg. Cut them out with the Silhouette Portrait then stenciled them using gel matte medium with some white acrylic paint. For the grayish colors behind the other cut outs, I used calligraphy ink by Parker, and added a little bit of water to lighten up the ink. Patterned paper by Amy... Continue Reading →
Writing with paint was a challenge. I used Wilna Furstenberg's premade script and painted over it as she did but it's not as easy as she made it seem. I enjoyed it though and hope to continue working on my text painting. Used Amy Tangerine patterned paper and ephemera pieces by Teresa Collins. Love badge... Continue Reading →
I'm enjoying the Color Theory class by Wilna Furstenberg. I'm learning so much about painting and colors and how they work together. I knew how to match up colors and such before but I didn't know how to really work with the colors to achieve a certain look which I think I have a better... Continue Reading →
I used Photoshop CS6 to create the first two layouts and the Project Life App to create the last two (which I have made smaller and put them side by side). The kits used in creating these layouts are: Project52, Kraft Edition, Plus One Mini Kit by Amy Tangerine, and Once Upon A Poppy by... Continue Reading →

Finally getting to putting our 2014 vacation book pages together for printing. It will be in Project Life format with a few scrapbook pages like the one below. Kit and template: Bermuda Triangle by the gals at Pixels & Co.
Couldn't decide if I wanted to go completely digital or paper so decided to stick to hybrid. I purchased the Project Life 52 digital kit so that I can use it both digitally and print for when I need/want to create a paper page. My title page was printed and so was the first page...

I'm very happy to be done with writing out my resolutions. Now I just need to buy a new 3-ring binder for my 2015 Project Life. I looked at Micheal's collection of binders a week ago and almost bought one for 40% off but decided to wait. I'm going to go back and get that... Continue Reading →
Created this layout for my This Is Me binder. This Is Me was a class I took a couple of years ago at Studio Calico. Basically, the instructor provided prompts and scrapbooking ideas to get you inspired. The title (This Is Me) is however you want to translate it but the scrapping/documenting must have everything...

My 2nd grader started school this week so I get all the time in the world to spend with just my 7th grader. She doesn't start school until next week so it's a full week with just she and I. It's been a long time since I've had her all to myself and I cherish... Continue Reading →
