MIXED MEDIA FUN

Have you tried mixed media yet?  

Messy, no rules, and just plain fun!

There is a group on Facebook called Journal 52.

You are given a prompt each week and you create a page for what that prompt means to you.

One of the prompts "A Simple Place" and this is what  Cat created for this prompt.  She used all kinds of inks, a stencil, some shredded cardboard, canvas...all kinds of fun stuff!  Lots of colors and textures used on these  fun pages.

 

This is Sharon Leonard's pages for "A Simple Place".  Cat and Sharon are both VERY artistic!

I LOVE these pages!

 

Check out Valerie's pages for "A Simple Place".  If you know Valerie, this is SO her and absolutely FABULOUS!

 

This is my page for "A Simple Place", my back yard.  I had lots of fun using the different kinds of mediums, especially the Stampendous embossing enamels and mica fragments across the bottom.

As you can see, everyone's pages are COMPLETELY different from each other.

And all kinds of products are used:

Distress inks, paints, markers, stains

CAT-TASTIC CATURDAY

So, are you ready with your Caturday dance?

We got these great kits from Tattered Angels in the store a while back.  Cat and Morgan went to Witchorski's Antiques on Friday and picked up some items to alter with these paints.

This is a message center/photo holder that Cat made from an unknown object.

 Not one to waste the paint spray on her non-stick craft mat she soaked up the paint with some tags 

and Petaloo white crocheted flowers. Then she added the cute little clothespins from Canvas Corp. They had to have a bit of bling and ribbon as well. 

The metal went from a dull gray to this great mottled blue color thanks to the Tattered Angels kit.

Stay tuned for more altered projects that Morgan Hendershott and Cat have done using these kits from Tattered Angels.

Today at the store, Kourtneigh Foster is teaching us more great tips using the Eclips.  I am anxious to see what she has up her sleeve this time!

After our Eclips class, Sandy is teaching an encore class of the hidden hinge album.  It is the bare bones version and we are all anxious to make these cool albums.

Everyone will be a winner with the envelope sale that is part of our 9th Anniversary fun.   We are bringing back the Envelope Sale in a new format.  From July 20th-Aug 10th each customer will receive ONE mini-bag that is sealed.
