Vintaj and Grungeboard

Always keep things that are only half done around the studio. Sometimes they are just the background you need for a project.

Here's some Vintaj pieces added to the large Fragment with the Alcohol Ink technique from Tim. It's a 5x5 canvas that has paper background of Perfect Pearls and Re-Inkers. I'm really liking the bit of glitz that adds to a papers. Add a bit of Grungeboard and that's it!

Very easy......Very fun!

And last, but not in the very least, here's my crew!!!! Warts and all....love them to pieces.

Go Create....it's too nasty here to do anything else!

Christmas Workshop Class!

Class was really fun today! And they were soooo into their work you could hear a pin drop at times!!!

Here we had 2 girls with their books NEAR done. And it was somebodies birthday, too. Guess who.


The Tim Holtz alcohol inks on Fragments technique was a hit, I think. Everyone's turned out different, and each one a work of art. I only wish I had remembered the camera before they all started to migrate out the door. 13 people to make great gifts for Christmas. Make sure you're nice.

We had a mother and daughter team of Jean and Sheila. Jean was just in the process of putting on the ribbons.....and Sheila was on her way to shop. They were a great group and happy they got a chance to learn to use the Bind-It-All again. Thanks, Ladies!

Next they want a Ten Seconds Studio metal class!!!

Alcohol Inks and Fragments

This is the technique we will learn at Scrapbook Friend'z on Oct. 12th in Bloomington. Come join the fun and learn to use your Bind-It-All or practice with it some more!!!

Nancy took such a sweet picture of this for their site, I decided it should go up here for all of you to see.

This is the results of just 3 colors of Alcohol Inks and some Fragments. Not too shabby!!!! Although I have many more colors, this was done with Eggplant, Cranberry and Lettuce. I MAY have thrown a little bit of Rust in on the center one.....I've slept a lot since then!

The box is covered with handmade papers and tied with ribbon. The class book is on Aug 22nd blog entry....take a look!

Enjoy!

Back to Doing What I Like Best!!!

This is what I love to do....Vintage Collage. I had this wonderful gal in my metal class in St. Louis, Jane, who came up with this terrific idea of using the long Fragment piece like a window with people in it. So here I used a frame as a mold with the Chocolate Brown metal from Ten Seconds Studio, and the children are from Collections. The word and strip at the bottom are also from Collections.

I just drool over the papers from Graphic 45. EVERYTHING she has is to die for.This is Garden Suite from the Botanicabella Collection. The base is a Maya Road chipboard tag. Then I added a word tag and arrow from Tim's stuff, a couple of buttons, some rick-rack and ribbons, and of course white pen marks. TA DA!

Go create something you love!

Large Fragment and Alcohol Inks!

WOW! What colors you can get!!! Is this striking or what??? I mean it's not like rocket science or fine art, but it was a trip. No experience or license needed.

I used Cranberry, Rust, Eggplant and some Pitch Black Alcohol Inks. Of course the stamp is Tim's from the Regal Findings set. This is what we will be working with in Oct. in Bloomington. Come join the fun.

Play Time!

Today was a play day! No writing instructions, no making assignments, no kitting up classes, and no worrying about things undone! Today I played with alcohol inks from Tim's latest tutorial. GREAT JOB, TIM!!! Go to his blog and see it, it's always like Christmas or your birthday. I did have to wipe a few off before I got one I liked. But that's the beauty of it. Make a mistake.....start over!

The white dots are from a paint pen added on top.

TOO much fun! SO easily amused!
