Sneak Preview #2 for Spring Workshop Weekend-6 Words and Techniques

This is a fantastic book custom colored with Gelatos.


They are so fun to work with and you can get really bright and bold color, really beautiful soft colors, watercolor techniques and so much more.

In the class we start out with heavy watercolor pages and customize them with dry blending, wet blending, gradiants, stenciling, negative stenciling, gel medium resist, making custom sprays, gelato stamping, modeling paste plus so much more fun with rub ons and words.

I did this book as an easel stand up, but you can also do it as a regular mini book. Each class kit contains 4 gelatos and multi mediums so you can do more on your own.

Such a great kind of messy- they wash right off your hands- no perma blue fingers.

Having fun making handmade table decor for Spring Workshop in April

Oh my gosh, I have so many great ideas to decorate each guest's spot at the Spring Workshop Weekend! Thank you Pinterest!

The first fun piece of table décor is a stand up canvas, just perfect for displaying class directions, stashing a few odds and ends under the cute elastic bands and keeping things close at hand.


These are all handstamped and decorated by Me! plus I couldn't resist a cute tag and decorating a clothespin with a fun birdie wood veneer. My husband John attached the clipboard piece and the removable legs on the back.


Don't you just love it? Do you want one? Go and sign up at Workshops on our website.  We have lots more sneak previews coming in the next few days as we finish up with our projects.

I have lots more ideas to come. Have a scrappy day!

Sneak Preview for April 2014 Workshop Weekend April 26th-27th

Hi Chicks
Here is the first sneak preview of a project for our Spring Workshop Weekend. It is a fun paper bag album featuring the Family Forever collection by Bella Boulevard.



I love all of the fun patterns and bright colors-perfect for some great summer family reunion photos. This format is super great because it has the space for FULL SIZE 4x6 photos with no trimming! Isn't that cool.

There is actually space for quite a few photos, full size and smaller, plus tags and inserts in each custom folded pocket between the bags.

If you would like to sign up for the Spring Workshop Weekend visit our Workshop Page. You can also sign up for Saturday Only, Sunday Only or individual classes.

More sneak previews are on the way!

Project Flashback-Love You Page from 2011

Originally posted January 20, 2011

 
This week is all about LOVE!!!! I am planning to put some adorable photos of my chocolate lab girl Hershey on these pages. Her pictures will look beautiful with the light pink and green patterns and cardstock. There is so much cute Valentine paper in the stores right now- oh wait or in my stash. I have a thing for buying Valentine paper with the idea that I am going to make cards (hmmm never done it) but I have a really smashing collection of paper now!

 
This layout is 3 different fun patterns, plus some gorgeous bits of ribbon and a few heart brads. I have done this layout many times, there is a lot of space for photos plus I like the use of the patterned papers.

Project Flashback-Love Is... A mini book made from legal sized envelopes

 I used this really cute paper line by K & Co and a ton of random embellishments- heart clothes pins, heart buttons, large and small heart brads, ribbon, punch outs, heart stick pins- you get the picture. Dig into those unused embellishments and put together this cute project.

 

 

 

 
The video shows you step by step what you need to do to create this book. It is 2 segments, so make sure you watch both.
