I recently got the Retro Halloween Framelits set and the block die. Yeah, I'm way late to the game with these, but, there is SO much I NEED and it takes time to acquire everything! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had fun with this after I got in the swing of making it, I quite like the skeleton witch holding the skull garland, looks like she's holding skull paper dolls! haha</div>

I love using Enamel Accents for dimensional eyeballs! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You just squeeze a drop of white onto the eye and then squeeze a drop of black on top of the white, it just forms perfectly. I usually let it dry overnight before I handle it</div>

I've gone back to my journal and back to some Dylusions goodness!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used one of the mushroom stamps to make potted flowers and a flying mushroom, I used one of the hats for the banner across the top, just for fun!</div>

All of the pieces were colored using Dylusion spray inks in a water pen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have several of the pens filled with Dylusion inks just for coloring.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a card to go with the paperweight I made last week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's for the celebrate challenge going on at the Inspiration Journal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMmgzxd4H7IVvlNCYOWPUS2wRRWBakkmxdLj8uC8M7kgVkdQYjPpaACjLnltmEScGk8zNWAMg3dWZK-g0uCGarxzvwAgrpHWDZMXkOytLNsE_P1faNuvLqPxPLfBDLA81rE5gXRlebICw/s1600/iemay3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMmgzxd4H7IVvlNCYOWPUS2wRRWBakkmxdLj8uC8M7kgVkdQYjPpaACjLnltmEScGk8zNWAMg3dWZK-g0uCGarxzvwAgrpHWDZMXkOytLNsE_P1faNuvLqPxPLfBDLA81rE5gXRlebICw/s1600/iemay3.JPG" height="397" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The papers I used are from the <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4oce">Kraft Resist </a>paper stash, 8x8<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3zgc"> collage paper stash </a>and a piece of scrap black cardstock. I cut the clock, card, frame, frame background and diamond strips from the 8x8 collage paper. The clock hand is a <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5rjg">game spinner.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the frame in VersaMark ink, sprinkled on some pumice stone Distress embossing powder and heat set it with my<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~40rp"> heat tool</a>. I die cut the frame with the Sizzix<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~46zj"> Framed Sihoulettes</a> frame die and distressed the edges with<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~13ew"> Distress </a>vintage photo ink. The guys head was cut with the die from that set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The diamond strips were cut with the Sizzix<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5rjw"> Borders</a> dies and I put 3 <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5sv5">mini fasteners</a> in the bottom strip for a little interest.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This months challenge at the Inspiration Journal is "celebrate".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I've made a little gift for the father in my life, my Mr., Terry :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My fave thing to do when I'm junkin' is to search for vintage items and bring them back to life, just like this paperweight. Whenever I see them cheap I'll pick them up so I have a few on hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I take the pictures out of them and get creating!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can find vintage ones that are deep enough to add thick trinkets and such.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like this one, I used Tim Holtz idea-ology findings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was really hard to photograph with the light reflecting off it, I'll do my best to tell whats inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a scrap from the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5riw"> Eclectic Elements</a> Melange 8 piece fat quarter for the base, the one that looks like measuring tapes, I like the look of the fabric magnified, you can see the weave of the fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGAy-oWSNJMaxEvHonRHeKSlIHi_r0nYGNw3Padm_KCIWgTcuJj_XTC09LzevdqKXlzcT7roatzT_qifMVs_VZurqXlW_vSfPoTDj7ujG88EVB7PYB-K_ZyV6axreZBgpyI6LZq0jY53c/s1600/iemay2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGAy-oWSNJMaxEvHonRHeKSlIHi_r0nYGNw3Padm_KCIWgTcuJj_XTC09LzevdqKXlzcT7roatzT_qifMVs_VZurqXlW_vSfPoTDj7ujG88EVB7PYB-K_ZyV6axreZBgpyI6LZq0jY53c/s1600/iemay2.JPG" height="390" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took an old chipboard coaster from Chili's and traced the paper weight on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: center;"> I got this Peel n Stick fabric fuse at Walmart, you stick the fabric on it and cut it like cardstock, </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> no ironing needed for this, perfect for small projects!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqPj66Le9Bw0jdrZGtDkuAwpCcdgrFcrmQl2xqcYvDqsrPyiCp3KxgEoDtHDY0xDEK52fa15mHz1SvuszQrYLdkH3_J7ECk0LyjsN9TIFRtlGpIZEgf-Qnn3LtJHkpQ9YlO57Rnuc6DU4/s1600/fabricfuse.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqPj66Le9Bw0jdrZGtDkuAwpCcdgrFcrmQl2xqcYvDqsrPyiCp3KxgEoDtHDY0xDEK52fa15mHz1SvuszQrYLdkH3_J7ECk0LyjsN9TIFRtlGpIZEgf-Qnn3LtJHkpQ9YlO57Rnuc6DU4/s1600/fabricfuse.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">I traced the chipboard circle onto the fabric and cut that out and then I had my base to glue my trinkets to.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I used a key, the keyhole has a tiny piece of scrap cardstock from the 8x8<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3zgc"> collage paper stash</a> glued to the back and then I filled it with <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~13ez">Glossy Accents</a>, there's a <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5rjg">game spinner</a>, a<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5rji"> long fastener</a>, a tiny flat washer, 2 <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5684">mirrored stars</a> and xoxo from <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2nem">Chitchat Verbages</a>.</span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">After everything was glued down I glued the paperweight to the base with E6000.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Here's a picture of the supplies I used. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The weather has been gorgeous the last couple of days, it just makes a person happy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tornadoes that went through north central AR. Sunday night were so violent, an EF-4.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were 15 people killed, and so much property destroyed, I feel so bad for the families involved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We broke in our new storm cellar that night and had 2 more families in it with us, the tornado sirens went off twice for the warnings we were under. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope they are over now and we can enjoy this beautiful Arkansas weather! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My card for the Inspiration Journal challenge is a Pop It Ups die card,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love these fun cards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've seen several vintage pop up cards in flea markets and they are always so pretty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so glad Miss Karen Burniston started designing them for Elizabeth Craft Designs, now we can make our own pop up cards! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The die set I used for this card is the Katie Label Pivot, there are several dies in the set to make different size labels, so fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the second Pop It Ups card I've made, I'm still learning different ways to design them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I defiantly want to order some more sets! </div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've got more journal pages to show you today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This months challenge at the<a href="http://blog.inspirationemporium.com/"> Inspiration Journal</a> is to use some of your fave supplies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love using stencils, they really add the perfect touch for backgrounds in journals and mixed media. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjthWxhzbxrhsPgQ_AR7zk6YcioRXtUEUwAdHLYJg4fh4aR7fyiyi3qYDylp-EN4uUy1YSPTbsc5g9cukmGoScSxr15eB07zDctUGK53-oTmnexheWceadPAScYjbjZl2TvpgpqbWgAsu8/s1600/ieapril21.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjthWxhzbxrhsPgQ_AR7zk6YcioRXtUEUwAdHLYJg4fh4aR7fyiyi3qYDylp-EN4uUy1YSPTbsc5g9cukmGoScSxr15eB07zDctUGK53-oTmnexheWceadPAScYjbjZl2TvpgpqbWgAsu8/s1600/ieapril21.JPG" height="290" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To start I glued down some paper from the Vintage Shabby paper stack and then I did stamping using the butterfly stamp from the <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5l3l">Attic Treasures</a> stamp set and the flower bouquet from the <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~46zj">Framed Silhouettes Framelits Die Set</a> using<a href="ttp://shrsl.com/?~24rd"> Archival</a> cornflower blue and forget me not inks. I stamped the Hero Arts doily stamp with VersaMark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder and added my eyelets in the center. Next, I got out my Tim Holtz stencils, the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4bhp"> rays</a>,<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5l3s"> lattice work </a> and<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5l3t"> doily</a> and used them with the Archival inks. I used the<a href="https://www.blogger.com/2013%20%200%20%20Edit%20%20%20%20http://shrsl.com/?~4bhn"> bubbles</a> stencil and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4bhj">white embossing paste</a> in the centers of the rays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I die cut the butterflies with the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~40qz"> mini butterflies die</a> from white doily paper edging that I got from D. Bluemchen years ago. I put a <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~12g4">Kaiser </a>rhinestone on each butterfly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGbFVVqIf2OQ_UDAeMDsVncFg0iN5sxNVpKO5gYz7Eyrf7pJcGoetRhUsixHAPo2R8poXwGcPHORpFt1uEEGNIwnn64rlOBUX_Dy1ydLVWA5Vn5V51euiZ-Iw0Mnzh2ETXT0zwa8FFN0/s1600/ieapril22.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGbFVVqIf2OQ_UDAeMDsVncFg0iN5sxNVpKO5gYz7Eyrf7pJcGoetRhUsixHAPo2R8poXwGcPHORpFt1uEEGNIwnn64rlOBUX_Dy1ydLVWA5Vn5V51euiZ-Iw0Mnzh2ETXT0zwa8FFN0/s1600/ieapril22.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the quote on Pinterest, my fave quote source!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my old SU! rough edges alpha stamp set for the quote with black archival ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCe81urWzTDr0rxoK32DD96tNvm-lNtnUVBOgUrf3k5C4rvZ9jITwGi0aBJ8VaBrb8ivDC189ikW2oQazFwhNWG-Dc0USZGkiYC_orSACJyC14SKMHbmv8td8_gZvc23I2GupOSVnGC4/s1600/ieapril23.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCe81urWzTDr0rxoK32DD96tNvm-lNtnUVBOgUrf3k5C4rvZ9jITwGi0aBJ8VaBrb8ivDC189ikW2oQazFwhNWG-Dc0USZGkiYC_orSACJyC14SKMHbmv8td8_gZvc23I2GupOSVnGC4/s1600/ieapril23.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The new Dina Wakley stencils are in the house!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's all I used for these journal pages.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love these stencils, the leaves are gorgeous, the basic's can be used in so many different ways so can the faces! The Affirmations is a great background stencil, I love the quote.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The plan was to have a daisy, sunflower and a purple cone flower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That all changed when I found the quote on Pinterest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now they are daisies, friendly daisies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't they look like friendly daisies with their cute faces? ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheht131OUdDFfEz4QGb6m7trk-2C0AfZF2AsbMt_JLZXmSztqSufzqVBy2oRKkxs1LoVw1eRV4q0bbu9R0G-0_P3yj6q7yZpzxKBvXuyjktrHvkgebo0O6Fkli-QWxvwBVn6OnvYYwYqA/s1600/ieapril1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheht131OUdDFfEz4QGb6m7trk-2C0AfZF2AsbMt_JLZXmSztqSufzqVBy2oRKkxs1LoVw1eRV4q0bbu9R0G-0_P3yj6q7yZpzxKBvXuyjktrHvkgebo0O6Fkli-QWxvwBVn6OnvYYwYqA/s1600/ieapril1.JPG" height="286" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the background I used the <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5hrk">Affirmations </a>and<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5hri"> Leaves</a> stencils, I made the flowers with the half sun from <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5hrf">The Basics</a> stencil and the faces are from the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5hrj"> Moon Faces</a> stencil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The light blue background started out<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~25uh"> Vibrant Turquoise</a>, way too much, so I took it down with <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2gcr">gesso</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4bhf"> Distress Paint</a>s for the flowers in Scattered Straw, Dusty Concord and Picket Fence. I punched the faces with a Marvy jumbo scalloped punch. I stamped the faces in <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~13ew">Distress </a>Vintage Photo on book text and distressed them with Vintage Photo and<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~265x"> Archival </a>Dandelion and Carnation Red on the cheeks. The leaves are Archival Fern Green.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh yeah, I used the French Script background stamp from SU! too, I'm sure it's retired now though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used it for some distressing, any script stamp would work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always I added 3 eyelets with my <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3d31">Crop-a-Dile</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA2Y9YjBM7Nrk2l_aVIlqNHvJhxOU5ijQD-yJixkxwyG_nJy7LRYItxWWZypM3t4A6EBc97AXr4_3AvPJ_iV2Tdq20ZeRf89txe6z3Lvx-lE2ued38rcUSwt187hMmBFcIkjVrY9R4oEs/s1600/ieapril2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA2Y9YjBM7Nrk2l_aVIlqNHvJhxOU5ijQD-yJixkxwyG_nJy7LRYItxWWZypM3t4A6EBc97AXr4_3AvPJ_iV2Tdq20ZeRf89txe6z3Lvx-lE2ued38rcUSwt187hMmBFcIkjVrY9R4oEs/s1600/ieapril2.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wrote the quote with a bronze Sharpie marker and outlined it with a Sakura Micron black 08 pen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a line Meg Ryan used in 'You've Got Mail'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I have a card using the die set <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5f4r">Lots of Pops</a> from Elizabeth craft designs by Karen Burniston.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my first card using these dies and I must say, they are so much fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can build the cutest scenes with this die set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3oF3xh3MIWmL0f72LgNxXcGikvsDNMAjVcimo85Sw8VisLxdkh7tpVvP-B6nq8Q4D9oAdHfEd94tBmQm_b2dX77vcviWNxRJcYc65oGksB4uL5yTrj3XgsMlzGQ_oU_9HfKb4OyPtubg/s1600/iemarch1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3oF3xh3MIWmL0f72LgNxXcGikvsDNMAjVcimo85Sw8VisLxdkh7tpVvP-B6nq8Q4D9oAdHfEd94tBmQm_b2dX77vcviWNxRJcYc65oGksB4uL5yTrj3XgsMlzGQ_oU_9HfKb4OyPtubg/s1600/iemarch1.JPG" height="241" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the paper pad <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5f4v">Park Bench</a> by Fancy Pants, it matched the ink colors perfectly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The paper ric rac was cut with the MFT <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4bhi">jumbo ric rac </a>die and the scallop on the edges with the <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5f4w">open scallop</a> die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5684"> star </a>on the sentiment tag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had this piece that I made using Wendy Vecchi's Archival <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1L-RgX4OpQ">reinker technique.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it would make a cute background. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stamping was done with the Crafty Secrets Kewpie's stamp set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to the website and it looks like the set is sold out, but, there are more Kewpie sets for sale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGreua50oY3XJyvUsS3e64N2CviDZybNPwA-GPMvEjopsPLSQG2KWlvj9msJU14OOHeaBR80cOKcrmd9_QgLPGESxbhLZ5HWHerN7fNC-bAgpxhkODmGuIMGnPfHPuF-OnEQT3WG3ENUA/s1600/iemarch2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGreua50oY3XJyvUsS3e64N2CviDZybNPwA-GPMvEjopsPLSQG2KWlvj9msJU14OOHeaBR80cOKcrmd9_QgLPGESxbhLZ5HWHerN7fNC-bAgpxhkODmGuIMGnPfHPuF-OnEQT3WG3ENUA/s1600/iemarch2.JPG" height="353" width="400" /></a></div>
The reinker colors are <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4a8q">Archival</a> dandelion, forget me not and the stamping was done with jet black.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This months challenge at<a href="http://blog.inspirationemporium.com/"> The Inspiration Journal </a>is all about color!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A perfect time to try out Wendy Vecchi's new <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1L-RgX4OpQ">technique</a> using her Archival reinkers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can make beautiful, simple backgrounds or diecuts like I did!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my journal background I started by applying some <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2gcr">gesso</a>, I dried that and put on tumbled glass distress stain, I painted it on and dried that and then I put on<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~40rh"> elements</a> and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~40rl">symphony</a> tissue tape small pieces to cover both pages. I painted on some more gesso to tone it down. Next I used the doily stencil and applied<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~13ew"> distress</a> bundled sage ink over the pages. Last, I stamped some dots on with a Dylusions <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4jci">basic backgrounds</a> stamp with forget me not ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some corner pieces of paper doilies that I had used on another project and glued one on each page and the inclusion. I cut a gold foil doily in half and put one piece on each side of the inclusion. I used a 5/8" circle punch and punched gold centers for the flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMeCmMwavoJxN-S1LzZ8AvrYSXP0ooesQgLxdPvv4Yo78kJlyBumsGsR5HPU5qkHbdeLAmkVNzYK4kC59aa_h7KNKb8Fiwj1zGOLPcfmUqa9WAoUpLLDa8oO1VggTQm45U5p6HF7sFocE/s1600/iemarch2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMeCmMwavoJxN-S1LzZ8AvrYSXP0ooesQgLxdPvv4Yo78kJlyBumsGsR5HPU5qkHbdeLAmkVNzYK4kC59aa_h7KNKb8Fiwj1zGOLPcfmUqa9WAoUpLLDa8oO1VggTQm45U5p6HF7sFocE/s1600/iemarch2.JPG" height="294" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~568j">Jumbo Tattered Florals </a>die to make the flowers and leaves for the journal pages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Archival<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4a8q"> reinkers</a> in forget me not, orange blossom and carnation red. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAn_WtxJSF2uyYYsz6OR95Do1FnHh7E5MS1mm0a3wQD66-Uxgj3rBGixOPcg6YQkG-HbOgxmvmfGZ2175J2_rHgaR_-wpveRknRVrMLt6GdJn35Suurv0OKVdtzEgnGRpkXHygYnZGwf4/s1600/iemarch3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAn_WtxJSF2uyYYsz6OR95Do1FnHh7E5MS1mm0a3wQD66-Uxgj3rBGixOPcg6YQkG-HbOgxmvmfGZ2175J2_rHgaR_-wpveRknRVrMLt6GdJn35Suurv0OKVdtzEgnGRpkXHygYnZGwf4/s1600/iemarch3.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The 'love always' is transparent diecuts by Studio Calico. I covered the words with <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~13ez">Glossy Accents</a> and sprinkled on turquoise glitter. After they dried I spayed a matt sealer on them to keep the glitter from coming off so much, it worked really well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitEXUoK602i3ZTUzLe40AGvtIM1VgMitenP06PJ-ktcT1qm3PympOFFHb-KwzRZMZ-WxIcU6hRqqwa_WQZbI9JSBNV-6hRbfcRzv8Th51oWZVXqxIAZImmD6zkZyLOrAY91m5w-cVH5j0/s1600/iemarch5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitEXUoK602i3ZTUzLe40AGvtIM1VgMitenP06PJ-ktcT1qm3PympOFFHb-KwzRZMZ-WxIcU6hRqqwa_WQZbI9JSBNV-6hRbfcRzv8Th51oWZVXqxIAZImmD6zkZyLOrAY91m5w-cVH5j0/s1600/iemarch5.JPG" height="243" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sprayed the flowers with<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~1sn2"> Goosebumps</a> texture spray to give them a little texture. You can see it pretty good in this picture. I love that stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it!</div>

Hello, hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a key ring to show you tonight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I saw the new <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5816">cable binder rings</a> Tim Holtz came out with I was SO excited, I used to have a key ring just like it. It's perfect for holding odd size keys like my car key on this one and the keys are super easy to attach to the ring, I really like that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Binder rings are not just for binding!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhI96Yq4MD5HX867ypmvbsWz8prqH-hU9YG2Aizo17SfZOqqcmFGTo-DoQyVAfg5VrsebsKrh0Q_m-Ps00OKHHf7yuaVIieC90AxGA-G5Es2i4eJPyguA1wfkUPOSsVii9euXgQIR_vBc/s1600/iefeb%233.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhI96Yq4MD5HX867ypmvbsWz8prqH-hU9YG2Aizo17SfZOqqcmFGTo-DoQyVAfg5VrsebsKrh0Q_m-Ps00OKHHf7yuaVIieC90AxGA-G5Es2i4eJPyguA1wfkUPOSsVii9euXgQIR_vBc/s1600/iefeb%233.JPG" height="400" width="256" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my new <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~568j">Jumbo Tattered Florals </a>die and cut 2 flowers and 2 leaves out of <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~583b">shrink plastic</a>. I colored them with <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~583g">alcohol inks </a>in cranberry, denim and bottle using an <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~583e">applicator felt.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added some design on the leaves with a Prima Finnabair texture stamp and Archival jet black ink and on the denim flower I used a pencil eraser for the dots and jet black ink. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I punched a hole in a flower petal with a 1/2" circle punch. I wanted a bigger hole so the flower could move freely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I shrunk the flowers and leaves with my <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~40rp">heat tool </a>and glued them together with E6000 glue and added the <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5684">mirrored star</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There we have it, super easy to make and with all of the large dies and stamps out there, and now binder rings, cute key rings can be made!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sun is shining so pretty today, sure does uplift the spirits!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spring may be around the corner, I hope so!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got my new<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~568j"> Jumbo Tattered Florals die </a>and I LOVE those huge flowers! Just think of all the pretty things you can make with this die! I have to get my hands on some of Tim's Ecletic Elements fabric, I know flowers made from that fabric would be gorgeous!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To start, I covered a deep 6x12 canvas with old sewing pattern tissue and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~102y">Melange</a> tissue wrap. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted on some <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2gcr">gesso</a> to tone it down a bit, lightly, not covering the whole thing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I used my<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~265x"> archival</a> cornflower blue and french ultra marine inks and the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4a8m"> stripes</a>,<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4a8n"> burlap</a> and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4bhn">bubbles </a>stencils for the 'sky' at the top. Next, I used my <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4bhp">rays</a> stencil for the 'sun' with some<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~568m"> metalic gold</a> embossing paste. Oh my, that stuff is gorgeous! I toned it down with gesso, it was too bright for what I was going for, but, wow, I love it! For the green 'grass' at the bottom I used the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4bhr"> honeycomb</a> stencil with archival fern green ink. Then I added some texture with a Prima Finnabair stitching stamp and jet black ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the flowers out of book paper, a large paper doilie, burlap that I painted with gesso and a<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~1dvs"> foil sheet</a>. I adhered a book paper flower on the foil flower so it would be bendable. I painted everything with gesso, even the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5684"> mirrored stars </a>in the center. I used a pipe cleaner for the stem, I painted it with gesso and some bundled sage<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4bhf"> Distress paint.</a> I spray painted the burlap leaves with some bundled sage paint and water in a <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4wyz">mini mister</a>, tah-dah, spray paint! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finally altered my Tim <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~5345">Assemblage Clock</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took me forever to get this to come together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just was not happy with every idea I had until this one and I really love it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since February is the month of love that's the theme I went with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyXp2BQzTlZ74QLjd2UklL8cYv28y8cA7HltutCCtiucG-4UxsqyJdyNwEAukxUP6uaEYFGIZjFJCXqUiWYiErfjY2Fe0Af_eRXIx2nuDZ695mMAMyEruRbG12zGuD3ZtyKKq2lj5nyFY/s1600/iefeb1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyXp2BQzTlZ74QLjd2UklL8cYv28y8cA7HltutCCtiucG-4UxsqyJdyNwEAukxUP6uaEYFGIZjFJCXqUiWYiErfjY2Fe0Af_eRXIx2nuDZ695mMAMyEruRbG12zGuD3ZtyKKq2lj5nyFY/s1600/iefeb1.JPG" height="376" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To start I took the glass out of the clock so I wouldn't mess it up when I painted it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was easy to take out, I slid the 2 little metal bracket thingys on the bottom over with my fingers to release the glass and I slid it out. Then I<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~33ud"> painted</a> it with 2 coats of <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2gcr">gesso</a>. I sprayed a matt sealer on it, thinking it might keep the gesso from chipping off. You may not have to do that though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut paper from the <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~533z">Fancy Pants</a> Park Bench 6x6 pad and I cut the heart from Primas Anna Marie 6x6 pad and adheared it to the back of the clock. This piece comes right off the back of the clock to get inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~53ak"> cupid and heart</a> from chipboard and covered them with glitter. I printed a picture of me and Terry in black & white and cut it and adhered it to the heart, but, it was so dark and it wasn't working for me, so I painted gesso over it and sprinkled on the glitter. Glitter makes everything better! I colored the white <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~12g4">Kaiser Pearls</a> with a <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~12gf">Copic</a> marker r27 to match the red heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut a burlap flower with the <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4qf1">Tattered Florals</a> die. I had some lace flowers in my stash that I made, you can see the tutorial<a href="http://pamhooten.blogspot.com/2009/07/crafty-secrets-challenge-time.html"> here</a>. I put the glass back in and glued all the flowers and cupid inside with a<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3d2y"> hot glue gun</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I colored some<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3cyg"> crinkle ribbon</a> with some watered down <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~1bwl">Distress Stain</a> in Fired Brick made a bow, hot glued it to the outside and put some heart trinket pins through it.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello, hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have another die/punch project for you today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been picking up old photos here and there from flea markets knowing I wanted to do some art with them. I've always thought how sad it is to find these vintage photos in flea markets and not in their families possession. I always wonder, who are you? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The song "Who Are You" by The Who always comes to mind when I'm thinking about doing this journal page, so, I found the picture to use for the sentiment. The babies dress is huge, a great space for my song title sentiment! I cut out the letters from the Tim Holtz<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3zgc"> 8x8 collage paper stash.</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg0vyEBRKnhlvsHUOvGkY6C1N3c1x3poB-GMPcR0RqpGwJmrgLdtBUDU4AY_6D5fD8d4ghWBLAGStgbPIWo_rAOvOvETCOiPNZwTb2NuHB7jYlurDtgPdTjSJMT8kYkyAtZhRdgg7t4_o/s1600/iejan%2321.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg0vyEBRKnhlvsHUOvGkY6C1N3c1x3poB-GMPcR0RqpGwJmrgLdtBUDU4AY_6D5fD8d4ghWBLAGStgbPIWo_rAOvOvETCOiPNZwTb2NuHB7jYlurDtgPdTjSJMT8kYkyAtZhRdgg7t4_o/s1600/iejan%2321.JPG" height="281" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The background is paper from the Tim Holtz<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4oce"> kraft resist </a>paper stash and vintage pattern tissue. I cut and tore them in pieces and adhered them to the pages with mod podge. I punched the book page circles with a 11/2" circle punch. I drew around the circles and and pictures with a Faber-Castell PITT big brush pen sephia 175.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCayqm3-BzyhO0EfdeHsZ6COAj2_xZXDM4wkZYG0fOFJsRSU5NE3hUCAn9anrBNIWxRoS79i8Q6jIHVgR3ZejT3KNukcGeOiJHUWw21_njh_DDkKra3s4x8P7Y79_hXYuUK3NTLvkwLfo/s1600/iejan%2322.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCayqm3-BzyhO0EfdeHsZ6COAj2_xZXDM4wkZYG0fOFJsRSU5NE3hUCAn9anrBNIWxRoS79i8Q6jIHVgR3ZejT3KNukcGeOiJHUWw21_njh_DDkKra3s4x8P7Y79_hXYuUK3NTLvkwLfo/s1600/iejan%2322.JPG" height="273" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next came the dies.<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4qf1"> Tattered Florals</a> for the burlap and felt flowers,<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3xvx"> mini butterflies</a> for the cardboard butterflies, picture wheel, Spellbinders<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4xrk"> classic ovals</a> for the oval behind the the flowers on the collage inclusion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used some vintage photo corners that were gifted to me a while back from my friend Lisa Zappa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I sure miss you girly)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~12g4"> Kaiser </a>pearls, <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3gig">film strip ribbon</a> and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3cyg">crinkle ribbon</a> that I colored with Antique Linen<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~439k"> reinker,</a> a giggle <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4cus">Adage Ticket</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I smeared <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2gcr">gesso</a> on the butterflies with my finger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy New Year, right?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first blog post for the new year, and I can tell you we are colder here than Anchorage, AK. right now, 11 degrees or something crazy like that! Taking these pic's out on the deck this morning was an experience I tell ya, boo-zeeee. We are SO not used to this around here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, I can say I'm warm and cozy, writing this post, really dreading going to work in the morning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Inspiration Emporium's challenge this month is to use diecuts or punches in your project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is perfect for me because I normally use diecuts in my projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dies and punch I used are Tim Holtz <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~439f">Artful Dwellings</a> for the houses and<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4wz0"> Mini Tattered Florals</a>. I used a 3/4" square punch for the windows in the houses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used papers from the Tim Holtz <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~44nv">8x8 Seasonal Paper Stash</a> for the houses and hand cut hearts and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2nsj">Terminology Tissue Wrap</a> to cover the inclusion and for my flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To start I painted <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2gcr">gesso</a> on the pages for a clean surface to start on. I painted on Distress Paint in Bundled Sage, a little Gathered Twigs and more gesso and wiped it off with baby wipes. Leaving enough paint to get the color I wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I colored the ABC <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~40rh">Tissue Tape</a> with <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~13ew">Distress</a> Bundled Sage ink and a <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3huy">blender tool.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flower stems are made with <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~24rg">Distress Markers.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The texture in the background is the plaid stamp from Wendy Vecchi's <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4a8x">Be Inspired </a>stamp set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made the Bundled Sage polkadots on the background with the Distress Paint, I just stamped it on the page and I also swiped it on the tag after I had put Gathered Twigs Distress ink on over the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4a8n"> Burlap Stencil.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My granddaughter Jayde was here and she stamped the sentiment for me, good job Jayde!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I traced all of the cutouts and diecuts with Faber-Castell PITT Big Brush Markers for shadowing.</div>

I diecut the flowers and stapled them all together with the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3huz"> Tiny Attacher.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to lightly color them with Distress, I didn't want a vibrant color, so I made some little spray paint bottles with Distress Paint. I filled a <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4wyz">Mini Mister </a>about 1/3 full with the paint and filled it up with water and shock it up, tah-dah!</div>

Ok, so I go out to take pic's of my journal pages and I go to the barn deck, kneel down to get the shot and then I'm on my back, just kind of kneeled over. While I was there I thought I'd get a pic of the pretty blue sky above me, HA! </div>

I've been wanting to do a number page. I decided to search for a number quote to get me started. I found out number quotes are not that easy to find. After I found this one and used it, I should of searched song lyrics, I can think of a few lyrics with numbers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I started by tearing some Tim Holtz <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3zgc">8x8 collage </a>paper in pieces and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3d2z">gluing</a> it to the pages and inserts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut some flowers with the Tim Holtz <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4qf1">tattered florals</a> die out of the burlap ribbon I got on sale in my after Christmas decor stash. The stems are pieces of vintage cloth measuring tape and I cut the leaves from a vintage Bingo card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started pulling out numbers, white backed stickers from Lowes, Tim grunge board numbers, the Tim <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4h8t">Numeric </a>stamp set (one of my fave sets) stamped with <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~14r3">Archival</a> jet black, red geranium, coffee and cornflower blue ink, <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4uri">metal number</a> 7 covered with <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~40rh">tissue tape</a> and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4urj">numbers remnant rubs</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped and embossed the the frame behind the 7 with gold embossing powder and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~161i">VersaMark ink</a>. I backed that with a white and a gold doilie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made shadows around some of the numbers with Faber-Castell PITT big brush pens in dark sephia 175 and black 199.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finished my garlands!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been enjoying the garlands I've been seeing on Pinterest and Instagram especially Christie Tomlinson's, she's the garland making queen! If you're on Instagram you really need to check her out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a big pink McCoy planter on my desk that I use for a catch-all. Most of the stuff I used were extras I already cut with dies or purchased and put in my planter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's always satisfying using up this and that in your work.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For this one I used burlap flags, a Tim Holtz <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4qf1">tattered flower </a>and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4occ">pinecone greenery </a>dies and a flower made from a tea stained coffee filter that I got at a flea market.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
On this one I used Tim Holtz <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~423z">journaling tickets</a> as the base - they're on sale right now :) <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4occ">pinecone</a> and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4qey">mini rosette dies</a>, paper scraps, <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2gcr">gesso,</a> peeled paint<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~12fv"> Distress Stickles</a>, Martha Stewart glitter and book paper punched with a scalloped circle punch and distressed with some Distress <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~13ew">Gathered Twigs</a> ink. and some mini pom-pom trim stapled on with my<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3huz"> tiny attacher</a>.</div>

I got the idea to use Tim's 8x8 <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~44nv">Seasonal Paper Stash</a> and <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~13ex">Fragments</a> to cover this cardboard ornament I got from Hobby Lobby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCfutmWMaOKy4O7Hs9EfIbp0bCW2z7D9jfHzvby21KOshyphenhyphenni7PYekB7ICL-djPOPXlXkY8zZ9AaqXowLDS3ZiWJNwxwP5T36WCcTdanhn4FRdkTcHUHEOMHCZJ8ECUBNdXtdYSHXpqE1Y/s1600/iedec1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCfutmWMaOKy4O7Hs9EfIbp0bCW2z7D9jfHzvby21KOshyphenhyphenni7PYekB7ICL-djPOPXlXkY8zZ9AaqXowLDS3ZiWJNwxwP5T36WCcTdanhn4FRdkTcHUHEOMHCZJ8ECUBNdXtdYSHXpqE1Y/s400/iedec1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I painted the ornament with <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2gcr">gesso</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I glued the Fragments on the paper with<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~13ez"> Glossy Accents</a>, cut around the Fragments and glued them on the ornament.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I painted on the Glossy Accents with a<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~33ud"> paint brush</a> between the Fragments and sprinkled silver glitter on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4occ"> Tattered Pinecone</a> die for the pinecones and greenery. I cut them out with paper from the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4oce"> Kraft Resist Paper Stash</a>. I lightly sprayed them with<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~25uh"> Dylusions</a> melted chocolate ink spray. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used some of my vintage lace and tatting along with the pinecones and greenery to decorate the top. I adhered everything on top with my<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3d2y"> glue gun</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

On these pages I wanted to do image transfers with the pic's of my mom and dad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, that went south pretty quick. I think the problem was the setting I used to print the pic's. They turned out all different colors when I rubbed the paper away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was my first attempt at this, but I love the idea and I'll be trying again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I printed the pic's again on copy paper and glued them down over my first attempt.</div>

I think it is a great idea. In fact, I have often thought about how to run a "rent a stamp" store somewhere. Sometimes you buy a stamp and only can use it a very few times as it is specific, like Christmas card stamps. Once you have made them, you want to make something different the next year and then this years stamp sits and gathers dust. However, someone else could use it and pass it down from there. </div>

Hey bloggers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've decided to do a give away. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been forever since I've done one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was going through my supplies, doing some storage, moving around and purging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've worked on design teams and I've collected so much stuff that I just can't ever use it all, you know?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I'm giving some away, selling some. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi bloggers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to do a canvas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been loving the canvases Christy Tomlinson does so the inspiration for this one came from her!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I covered the canvas with paper from the Prima <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~40qx">Divine</a> 6x6 pad. I went over that with Adirondack snow cap <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~2xpi">paint dabber </a>and Claudine Helmuth classic teal, traditional tan, painterely pink and yellow pastel paints, I applied those here and there with my finger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the first time I've used her paints and I have to say, I love them! They are so creamy and nice to work with. I got the<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4fsp"> urban</a> mini paint set from <a href="http://store.inspirationemporium.com/">Inspiration Emporium</a>, I need them all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHi7DlQwjbqEwdB44PqEQdlazkGth4P6MaMmSiU6K6cY_t3cLrdk6xZ3nR99ceHMQKZiyOEAE-VYXM67MKRcC9b9N4_nr0s4q4mhqyrmdzztZKITMaq0pDjFmrZi-BHACMxHw7JcwTJwk/s1600/ienov1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHi7DlQwjbqEwdB44PqEQdlazkGth4P6MaMmSiU6K6cY_t3cLrdk6xZ3nR99ceHMQKZiyOEAE-VYXM67MKRcC9b9N4_nr0s4q4mhqyrmdzztZKITMaq0pDjFmrZi-BHACMxHw7JcwTJwk/s400/ienov1.JPG" width="233" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I drew the vase on the back of a piece of the Divine paper, cut it out and adhered it to the canvas. I painted over it with<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3d2z"> matte multi medium</a> to make a non porous surface so when I did my shading I could move the ink from the pens with my finger. I did the shading with Faber-Castell big brush pens in cold grey 233, medium flesh 131, cadmium yellow 107, chromium green opaque174 and black199.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a bunch of rub ons from<a href="http://shrsl.com/?~4fsv"> imaginise dream come true</a>, which IE has on sale for $1 right now!! tim holtz <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~3tn6">remnant rubs numbers</a> and Heidi Swapp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Prima Divine flowers. I pinched the centers out of each one so my pic's would lay flush on the flower.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the pics in squares to match the little squares in the vase.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wrote some words on the canvas with Sakura Micron 08 black pen. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw this on Pinterest and loved it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been wanting to do something like this with my cigar boxes for awhile and this pushed me on to do it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a huge collection of cigar boxes, mostly wooden ones of all different sizes. I made holes in them with my awl with is basically a short handled ice pick. I used some metal name plate thingy's and brads to attach them to the boxes. I stamped the words on some cardstock to put behind the plates, so I can change them if I need to. I glued down some of the torn paper on them with matte multi medium.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Claudine Hellmuth mini paint bottles are in the top one :)</div>
