This & That

So, I finally got up a bit of a gallery! YAY!!!  It's not done by far but, its on its way. So, to check out things that have been showcased thus far on this blog check out the tab under the title of the blog titled "Gallery" I'll be adding to it regularly. Newer pictures will be towards the bottom.

I've been working on a few things that I am very excited to share with you all! I have an album dedicated to my daughter and everything I always want her to be. I also have a Halloween house to share. Both will be showcased this week.

To come on thur night: I will be live on Ustream at 8pm CST. I will be putting together a vintage ephemera album!!! I've seen many tutorials on this and over the last week spoken to quite a few crafty gals who have shared with me that their a bit intimidated to go ahead and dive into a project like this. I'm going to show you all how it can me done.. and not only done well but done on a whim and within an hour!!! It'll be a great tutorial. I'll show you how to use what you have on hand! 

If you are unfamiliar with ephemera albums thing about those albums that look like their a hodge podge of different items... odds and ends... all put into one book to create an album. I'll be showing you all some nifty things to make to go in them.  Misc papers, envelopes, embellishments etc.  If you do not think you have anything, you can look at yesterdays post for some great printable look alike ephemera. Printed on cardstock it'll work just as a great start!

So, that's what I have to come for the rest of the week. Ubber excited to share soo much with you all this week.

Motivation Monday

Todays motivation shall take us to the wonderful world of Print ables!!! I plan on taking all the print ables in my files to a button on the top of the blog but for today I'll share these sites with you. It's a wonderful resource for great mock vintage print ables.

I love these for soo many reasons. To begin with they are FREE! I also adore them because if printed on some cardstock (great way to use that old 8.5x11), then they are just as thick as those you can buy from 7-gypsies and so forth. They just make me smile, because you can match up specifically what you need! I've created entire mini albums from printables! Can print them on cardstock or canvas.. options are endless. Check them out! And get Print happy!

Tutorial Thursday- part 1 of cityscape and more Helmar fun!

Ok, so I got to recording ladies and towards the end I answered my phone and for some reason cut off the last min. or so of the vid. But, you will get the general idea for sure!

This week, I began working first on the first piece of my 7-gypsies cityscape!!! YAY so, excited to get this project up and going.

For this project I'm showcasing Hemar's Scrap Dots in a way I've never seen used before! Super happy with the turn out! Also, showing some fun with acetate and sharpies and rub-ons!!

Check out the show here! Super short and fun.. I might have gotten overly excited over the turn out!! hee hee        http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/16866588
