Memories Room

I took a few pic's last night of my "scrappy" space and thought I would show you how I get inspired to scrap, this is one way!! I surround myself in things that I love-I see beauty in this!! I also get inspired by my "grands". They are the best, every one of them. Such neat little people. Also where I live. We have so much nature going on around us all the time. I try to capture as much of it as I can!!! What inspires you to create-let me know!!!

Week 4/ C. Hellmuth Class

Week four already soon to be week five tomorrow. This project was so fun and amazing, yes amazing. I transferred my Pink Paislee pattern paper to the sticky back canvas and it has the look and feel of canvas!!! I used some Claudine Hellmuth gloss medium on the surface and then tinted my photo with her paints. This is a really neat project especially when you have a "way cool' photo like this to use!! Have a great day and do something Crafty!

Try this Tuesday

I love this layout!! It has all the elements which I "adore". My mother, her knitting and a "vintage goody" on it. My challenge to you is to scrap a layout with a "vintage goody" on it, a piece of history, something you would never think about putting on a layout. Get your thinking caps on-let me know what you came up with!!!

Claudine Hellmuth-Week 3

Week 3 over at Big Picture Scrapbooking with Claudine Hellmuth. This is our project for this week. I used three different techniques in creating it. The girl really knows paint!!! I can't wait to see what we are going to do in week four. I never new paint could be so much FUN!!!

Saturday Sketch

Here is a quick card to give you a project for today. I used a transparency sheet to cover my pattern paper. I added my embellishments to the outside of the transparency. I stamped the sentiment on the outside front and on the inside. You can also make it without using a transparency, just follow the sketch and make it your own. I used some October Afternoon scraps, Primas and my cool new "Tim Holtz" die!!!

Kid ART!!

Hi everyone-here is a layout I did with my granddaughters art work. I love putting these little pieces of "gems" on my layouts. I feel like I saved one more piece of art when I do. So cute!! I hope you will try this - I call it - "Save your kids Art campaign". Hope you join the campaign!!! Have a great day and be "crafty"!!!

Try this Tuesday

Hi everyone-this is another example of how you can switch up a sketch , like this one

You can also use the layout sketch to make a card. I used that same sketch and did a couple of cards!! I love sketches - they are a good starting point when you don't know where to start. I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it works for you. Thanks for stopping by and have a "crafty" day!!!
