As October comes to a close, I love looking back at all the things we did this month – it sure was a busy month!
Here’s to hoping things slow down a bit the remainder of the year!
I love Fall, even though the temperature always drops way faster than I’d like…
Today I want to share a page I made with some products that are on sale for 50% off today at The Lilypad. I am in love!! It was so quick and easy to put this page together.
The quote in the kit was just perfect for where I am at in my life. And don’t be fooled by the name of this kit, which says “elements only” – in fact, papers (and gorgeous ones at that!!) are included too.
I’ve been quiet lately because I have been busy with life, and with playing with new supplies! So here’s what I’ve been up to.
I’ve had a blast making a few projects for Sweet Stamp Shop as a guest designer for October!
The first thing I did after receiving the 3 stamp set was to stamp all the images, color them and cut them out. So fun! The sets on the left are colored with Copics, and the set on the right is done with watercolor pencils.
I’ll be sharing the projects I made with these sets later in the month.
Last year I took Sandy Allnock’s Copic Jumpstart class, and it was great. Since in the past year I’ve acquired an embarrassing amount of colored pencils (I bought both the Prismacolor Premier and Faber-Castell Polychromos full sets, in addition to the 80 Caran D’Ache Supracolor pencils I had from my childhood), I decided to sign up to her Colored Pencil Jumpstart class. I haven’t had time to dive into it yet, since I’m still working on my color charts (and it takes forever with all these pencils! :P), but I am making progress. She just relaunched her Art Classes website with a new platform, and has a great giveaway going on right now- check it out here!
I have been a fan of Jane Davenport for a while, and I am absolutely in love with her products. She has a new line that was launched this month, and I have bought an embarrassing amount of it, and am having a blast trying it all out with her Artober prompts.
So that’s what I’ve been up to. What about you?
This week the weather has been all over the map – just a couple of days ago it was 84 F (which prompted this page), and now it’s 48 F.
How’s the weather like in your part of the world?
Hello and happy World Cardmaking Day! (It’s also Digital Scrapbooking Day – yay!)
So in honor of this day I have some good news to share, and a card. I’m thrilled to share that I am a guest designer for October for Sweet Stamp Shop!!! Along with the new stamps that will be released in a couple of weeks, they sent me 3 current stamp sets, which I have been having lots of fun with! Here’s the first card I made, using the stamp set Pour Decisions.
The background is made with Dylusion Ink Sprays, then I stamped with Versamark ink and white embossed the images from the stamp set.
I can’t wait to share more of what I’ve been creating!
I also placed a big order of stamps last week when they had a special 20% off sale, and received them this week. I am so in love with them all! Here’s what I bought if you are interested. 🙂
I tested them out right away in my Hobonichi Cousin. 🙂
Are you crafting today? What are you making?
Hello! The October BYOC collection is in the shop at The Lilypad, and the DSD (Digital Scrapbooking Day) festivities are in full swing!
I didn’t have as much time as I hoped this week, but I’ll be going back over the weekend because the BYOC this month is just fabulous!!!
I’m also busy putting together photo calendars that I do each year for our families as a Christmas gift. I take 12 scrapbook layouts and turn them into calendar toppers, and you can bet these two made the cut! 🙂
