<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Playing along with this week's case file. I love the lime green in the color scheme and used it as my page base. The strip on the right was perfect for the color scheme. To incorporate red, I stamped a bunch of label stamps with red ink, for the transparent elements in the evidence column, I stamped "true", "playful", "real" on transparency. I also used a stencil to add a little color in the background.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At <a href="http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/" target="_blank">CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration</a> they have teamed up with <a href="http://inspiredtomake.com/zone/scrap-365/home" target="_blank">Scrap365</a> for some special case files, and they will publish a few selected pages from the participants in the next issue of the magazine. I loved the color scheme so I decided to play along since the deadline is Oct 31 and I had plenty of time to make a page.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I tried to use as many of the "evidence" items as I could, my favorite was the Maya Road lightbulbs I just got from Flying Unicorn. What I really love about these challenges are the journalling prompts in the "testimony" column, they make the journalling so easy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Had fun using up leftover scraps of some old Basic Grey paper with this page. Used a bunch of newer Heidi Swapp stamps and some cool iron on numbers that I found in my stash. I'm determined to use up inters that have been hanging around in my scrap room for far too long and it's been fun challenging myself to supplies on hand.</span></div>

Week 3 od Art & Design is all about pattern. With this latest layout I finally feel like I'm getting the feel for the concepts in this class and interpreting them in a way that is more my style. While I adore Wilna's pages, the stark white backgrounds that she starts most pages with is not really my thing. I usually start a page with colors that relate directly to my photo, and almost alway have a patterned paper or solid color card stock background. In this layout I started with golds and purples for my paint colored circles and the wood printed paper. I love the combination of the rustic wood and the shiny gold and metallic purple paint. the xoxo was painted with india ink on white card stock then fussy cut by hand.<br>

I decided to take the Art & Design class at Big Picture Classes taught by <a href="http://www.wilnaf.com/" target="_blank">Wilna Furstenberg</a>. She does beautiful layouts with watercolor and gelatos and modeling paste....<br>
<div>
Here are a few layouts I did for week one of the class based on grids</div>

I was in a huge slump for a long time when it came to scraping 12x12 layouts, that is until recently when I rediscovered my love of scraping layouts. I found a few very <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">inspiring ladies on YouTube who do a lot of mixed media techniques in the 12x12 format. Bringing mixed media to what used to be a mostly cut and paste process makes it more exciting and fun. It's been so much fun that I have completed a bunch of layouts that I'm excited to share on my blog. I haven't photographed all of them yet so I will start a couple that I did last week. </span><br>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I made some stamped elements with that I stacked on top of book paper, vellum and doilies. They are grouped together on top of a strip of card stock that is textured with die cut letters and shapes, gessoed and painted. I also used twinkle H2Os in gold on the background paper. These are really old products that I have had in my stash since the dawn of scrapbooking, but I love how this page turned out, it's the kind of design that I never would have even though of doing way back when I started scrapbooking (17 years ago, yikes!). The photos are from way back when too, that adorable baby is turning 20 years old at the end of this month.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Here's another one I did using similar techniques of stacking little papers (a great way to use up all those scraps of paper that keep piling up) and adding paint to the background paper. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My friend Nancy has posted a LO challenge over at <a href="http://www.crafthappens.net/" target="_blank">Craft Happen</a>s And what a challenge it was, starting with a blank piece of paper.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I decided to give it a shot since it has been too long since I made a 12x12 LO. </span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I started with a 12x12</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> sheet of white paper and a 12x12 gear stencil from Crafter's Workshop I sprayed it with glimmer mist then did a little stamping, butterflies and words. I used border punches on the edges of the page, also tearing the edges to make the page a little smaller that 12x12. I also used a border punch and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> embossing folders on the photo mats and some of the cluster elements as well as the die cut flourish. There are two handmade flowers, one I cut with a TH die in three different materials (drier sheet, crinolin, paper) one I crocheted from twine. I clear embossed the title (<i>together</i>, cut with cricut) </span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I tried to use all the challenge options and it was really fun! Not the way I usually approach a layout, it really made me think about all the tools and techniques at my disposal.</span></div>

This one is made with 6 coin envelopes and chipboard covers. I used Prima's Nature's Garden paper along with paint, stamping, dimensional stickers, vellum garden fairy stickers, twine, burlap, eyelets and glimmer misted canvas binding. It's a tiny little mini that came out super cute.<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-cwcNPn-uies/UA4mOkT4KXI/AAAAAAAABCY/InRmBUhmmAg/s640/blogger-image--801409843.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-cwcNPn-uies/UA4mOkT4KXI/AAAAAAAABCY/InRmBUhmmAg/s640/blogger-image--801409843.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-PERlMVq0EkI/UBldvJseGsI/AAAAAAAABC0/dTYZtqAuZwk/s640/blogger-image-1207051669.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-PERlMVq0EkI/UBldvJseGsI/AAAAAAAABC0/dTYZtqAuZwk/s640/blogger-image-1207051669.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-vjFIOoT4kok/UBlduEryAeI/AAAAAAAABCs/XdCmod-RDag/s640/blogger-image-1492773574.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-vjFIOoT4kok/UBlduEryAeI/AAAAAAAABCs/XdCmod-RDag/s640/blogger-image-1492773574.jpg" /></a></div>Daphnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430501003533312506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541372121929697903.post-32767644038498162872012-07-24T00:25:00.000-04:002012-07-24T00:25:16.748-04:00Tags<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">just a couple of tags that I made following along with <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/23584243" target="_blank">Anna Dabrowska on Ustream</a> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used old paper scraps, and I didn't have the same embellishments so I improvised and cut some shapes (the crown and the bird) with my cricut, which is great because it's made me want to use my cricut again! I really love how these came together, I have to play with these techniques again!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's been a while since I participated in a swap so I thought I would start off with a smallish project and when I saw the paper clip swap I though it would be fun and simple.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I decided to do a little stamping, with some <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Inkadinkado-Inchies-Clear-Stamps-Thoughts/dp/B001MUDI42/ref=sr_1_63?ie=UTF8&qid=1342632981&sr=8-63&keywords=inchies+stamps" target="_blank">Inkadinkado Inchie stamps</a>, coloring with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Imaginations-Twinkling-Ultimate-Carnivale/dp/B004W8TOIU/ref=pd_bxgy_ac_img_b" target="_blank">twinkle H2Os</a> (my fave!) then I embossed the whole image with clear embossing powder to give it some shine.

I was fortunate enough to attend the one she taught at<a href="http://www.everythingscrapbook.com/" target="_blank"> Everything Scrapbook and Stamps </a>in Lake Worth FL</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We started with a <a href="http://store.scrapbook.com/pri-557973.html" target="_blank">Prima Resist Canvas Covers</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Embellished with Canvas word, <a href="http://store.scrapbook.com/pri-554736.html" target="_blank">resist canvas flowers </a> and a bunch of other stuff including buttons and lace etc. Then painted with various sprays, pigment powders and acrylic paints. The whole thing is just layers and layers built on top of each other, creating a complex composition that is integrated and intriguing to look at. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Kind of messy process but oh so much fun! I came home with dirty, inky fingers and a gorgeous project.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We also did o couple of pages for the inside using different techniques. I have been scrapping for a long time but I learned so much from this one class.
