Just Us Girls Challenge #538

So HaPpY to have time to play at JUGS!

Here's my card - the background that looks like watercoloring is actually designer paper from Prima.  I paired it with the text patterned paper frame and the sentiment cut from another patterned paper:

I did watercolor the flowers and cut them out.

I hope you like my card!

I Put together another class for Scraporium for July 2020

Three Cards and a Tag or 2!

This is the sample board

 This first card features that cute wooden Julie Nutting girl and rose gold Metallique wax.

This card features the rose gold wax and Prima's Pretty Mosaic paper and ephemera.

This card features flowers and a stencil from Prima's Lavendar Frost Collection touched by rose gold wax.

The big tag has more of the stencil, rose gold wax, and lots of layers.

The small tag is actually a Tommy Bahama tag with embossed banana leaves highlighted by the rose gold wax and more layers.  This should be a fun class!

These are the goodies everyone will receive with the class!

Stay safe and well!

Creating During Isolation

The following was supposed to be a class at Scraporium but with the Coronavirus, it became kits.  Then when I took the kits to Scraporium, 4 people wanted to make them so we all wore masks and sat at least 6 feet apart.  I can't tell you how much fun it was to teach - although it WAS challenging with a mask on!

It's a File folder mini album using Prima's Capri Collection.  I even had photos of my Australia/New Zealand bucket list trip with captions.  Here you go:

This album is made with 2 file folders!  Since I learned how to make it, and then experimented until I made it even better, I have been making albums with all of my leftover paper pads and embellies!  These make great gifts, too!

I printed all of the descriptions on my computer and copied onto card stock.  I like how this book looks consistent throughout!

June Prima Water Color Class at Scraporium in Tampa, FL

They asked for a basic water color class and this is what I came up with using Prima's Currents Collection.  Each student will receive this set of blues and greens and we will play with techniques and eventually turn their FAVS into 4 cards.

My personal FAV:

I made this design years ago with acrylics and now I've replicated it with water colors.  There is sand from the Caribbean and glass glitter to mimic the waves splashing on the beach.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you are creating and staying healthy!

Creating During Isolation

BEFORE all of this self isolating stared, I bought several wood things at Hobby Lobby with the intention of creation things for classes.  In the meantime 2 of my April classes were canceled and I can only hope I can teach in May.  I don't want to get too backlogged.

Well anyway, I bought this cool metal wall hanging with wood on it and the following is what I created with Prima's Pretty Mosaic collection, a new Finnabair Stencil called Mind Games, and lots of mixed media goodness!  I hope you like it!

 It has many layers and I hope I can remember it all when it comes time to teach the class!

 Here's a close-up of the collage I made to act as the backdrop for my Mom's beautiful photo.  She was 15 here and looks like a movie star!  I put the word grateful nest to her image.

Here is a close-up of the light molding paste with the stencil and sprays and waxes and icing paste and Sparks paint and even stickles on top!  The text is an old Tim Holtz Christmas stamp that you can't read but I love the font!

Okay that's it for me today!

Mini Album made with 2 manilla file folders

Hello Everyone!

I learned how to make mini albums with file folders on YouTube and now I am using my leftover 6 x 6 paper pads and creating like crazy!

This album will be a class at Scraporium in Tampa using the leftover papers from the Prima Mosaic card class I am teaching.  I LOVE how much fun these are to make!

Can you see the translucent Nuvo Jewel drops?  I think they are a cool little detail!

I have another I will post later with Prima's Capri Collection.

Now for my dilemma.  I am in LOVE with Instagram and am now posting infrequently on my blog.  Instagram is so much faster and easier with way more feedback.  But if I stop posting on my blog, I will lose the regulars that don't Instagram but follow me here.

Any opinions out there?

I hope you like this!

April Card Class for Scraporium in Tamps

I played with Prima's new Mosaic Collection and created 6 cards that I will use in a card class:

Each student will receive a 6 x 6 paper pad, ephemera, and a flower pack.  They will make these 6 cards and have plenty of product to take home and make even more!

Canvas Using Prima's NEW Surf Board Collection

THIS canvas will be a March 7, 2020 class at Scraporium:

I LOVE these papers and the waves just called to me!  It's hard to see in the pic but the whitecaps are swirls of Nuvo Glitter drops plus I put glitter drops around the canvas itself.  The waves are 3D and in layers.

I hope you like it!
