”Every dream has a way
Of peeping out into your day”

I have decided to start out each of my blog posts with a poem of mine to suit the theme. If you like this, please let me know by “liking” the post. Thanks🌸

This page was based on Jane Davenport collage paper, stamped with fairy houses from Crafters Companion. Embellished with paints of various sorts.

This page was made with cut outs from a Stamps by Judith drawing book. I used my new method technique I learned from a Craftsy course to highlight and contrast. I am living this journal work because of the bright colors of the paints and markers.

I really am so happy with how this journal page worked out. After watching a variety of you tube presentations, it encouraged me to start a new journal based on old book pages.

I have used Heartfelt Creations coffee stamp and die. I also used Sizzix thinlet flower dies.

I added my work to a journal. I used black gesso and white molding paste for the pattern. It looks a little like pine cones so I was really pleased with the result.

I have been watching Vicky Papaioannou who is just amazing. I highly recommend her wonderful lessons on Youtube.

This was made on mulberry paper. I stitched in the die cut flowers and glued on the lower die cut. I added glitter paint here and there. I intend making this into book as this sheet has three more folds.

Mixed media journal page: contrasting

10/14/2018

Recently I completed a Craftsy course on mixed media. What I really learned about was how to contrast my colors. I really learned a lot - outlining, choosing markers for extra outlines and shadowing, and white lines to highlight.

craft ideas: using older products

10/12/2018

0 Comments

 
Crafters love to buy anything and everything on the market. Products are so wonderful and fill us with inspiration. But what did you do with the last package of things you purchased? What about those from a few months ago or years ago?  

An idea.   Every week put your hand on something in your stash - like you put your hand in a raffle bucket.    And whatever you take out, let that be the  inspiration for your next project.  Instead of a picture on Instagram or a magazine, imagine the product you have is new and make something with it.  It’ll save you some money but also make you smile.

    Sewing, machine embroidery, paper-craft, and stamping are my hobbies. At the moment die-cutting paper craft is my favorite, and I am sharing my projects with you on this website.

    If you're not giving every project away, sharing is the second best thing to enjoy; I hope you will enjoy the ideas and be inspired to do your own thing.

    Crafting gives me a sense of calm and accomplishment, and for me it's like the apple a day that keeps the doctor away.

    Drop a comment and add an idea.

    My teaching website www.eslideas.com has creative ideas for teaching too.
