Green Tara DT Layout - Moments December 2012
I have had the front of this trivet pieced for about a year! Every week or two I see it in my drawer but I haven't been inspired to finish it until yesterday :o)
You may recall that the purpose of this monthly challenge group is to take our scrapbooking to the next level, to stretch our creative process and to grow as artists by embracing challenges that make us think, work and grow. It was my turn to post the challenge this month and this is what I wrote: "Inspiration Elevator has been such a tremendous experience for me! We have explored our style, stretched our single pages into two, documented our fears and regrets, scrapbooked our beliefs, worked with less than perfect photos and have even gone vintage! Hopefully we have each grown as a result of being a part of this group – I know I have! One of the fun things about scrapbooking is working with our photos. We get to pick and choose our favorite photos and have fun recording the memories behind them. So this month, I thought we could stretch our creativity by having some fun with our photos! I assume we all work with digital photos, so this month’s challenge will work for everyone. I want you to pick a photo and then alter it in some way using your favorite photo editing program. I would like to see something more than just making your photo black and white. Maybe use a special effect, add a frame, play with text, etc. There is so much you can do! Play with your photo until it conveys a particular look or feel that will help you to express your memories associated with that picture. Then add it to your page! When you post your finished project, please share how you altered your photo, and why you chose the effects you did. (Maybe you could even post a before and after of your photo!)" I had a particular photo in mind that I wanted to work with. It is a photo that I took last summer of my niece Sarah. As pretty as the photo was, I thought I could play with it a bit to make it stand out even more. The is the photo I began with: This is the photo after editing it in Photoshop Elements: My hope was to create a more ethereal feel to the picture to somehow express how much I love my niece. I used three different overlays on this photo to achieve the look I wanted: Patchy Fog, Hazy Spots and Gold Light Streams. The overlays are from Portrait Pizzazz for use with Photoshop. I was really happy with how it turned out! Then I paired my finished photo with Kaisercraft's Pickled Pear Collection of papers and stickers to create my layout. Lots of layering, some stamping (postage and coffee stain stamps), my favorite ribbon and a pretty little border along the top of my page completed the layout I was hoping for! I hope you will stop by and see what the other designers on this adventure have created: Christa Uttley Laura Whitaker Audrey Yeager Lisa Moen Laurel Seabrook Ann Jobes Cathy Harper Sue Sykes Lisa Spiegel If you would like to take up the challenge this month, please post a comment below and I will be sure to stop by to see what you have created ♥

Salut ....Moi, c'est Cécile , 47 ans , maman de trois enfants de 15 à 20 ans et vivant en Bretagne .....J'ai débuté le scrap il y a quelques années et j'adore ça presque autant que les voyages et le nutella !!!!
Voilà, les fêtes de fin d'année sont passées, les bons repas en famille sont derrière nous, et les malheureux événements de ces dernières semaines également... Il est donc temps de faire entrer un petit peu de gaieté dans sa maison, et d'attendre tranquillement les beaux jours en apportant un peu de lumière à notre intérieur... Et quoi de mieux que le jaune pour égayer son nid d'amour? Nous vous embarquons donc pour un petit tour dans la jaunosphère et faire le plein d'idées pour votre cocon... C'est parti ! --- Du jaune par petites touches, pour les plus timides --- Le jaune peut être travaillé de multiples façons, bénéficiant d'un camaïeu riche et pouvant séduire même les plus réticents... D'un jaune tirant sur le beige voir le marron, à un jaune vif, tonique, vous n'avez que l'embarras du choix ! Ici, (image 1), la décoration dans des tons de gris est réveillée par les coussins jaunes moutardes et l'affiche. Pas de peur de vous lasser, vous pourrez changer la housse des coussins très facilement si l'envie vous prend ;) Le jaune en petite touche convient aussi parfaitement à un intérieur très foncé (image 2), où il viendra apporter une tonalité gaie et fraîche. Impossible de vous tromper ! Nuancier gris et jaune anis, Design Seeds --- Du jaune là où on ne l'attend pas --- Et si on jouait la surprise en peignant en jaune des éléments habituellement peu décorés ? Soyons fous, et faisons comme sur ces deux images ! Le tout est de créer un effet surprenant, et surtout hyper joli ! A gauche, les contremarches ont été préalablement peintes en jaune ou blanc, puis décorées grâce à des motifs en pochoirs. Une idée simple pour parfaire son intérieur... A droite, le bâti de fenêtre un petit peu défraîchi a été repeint en jaune, créant un magnifique effet dynamique et joyeux. Nuancier gris bleuté, ocre et beige, Design Seeds --- Un mur jaune vif pour les plus audacieux --- Décoration signée Sarah Lavoine Vous avez envie d'un mur complètement jaune, qui apporterait la lumière et l'optimisme de l'été à votre intérieur? N'hésitez plus ! Associé à des teintes plus foncées, telles que le noir ou des gris bleutés, et surtout au bleu canard ou pétrole, association qui fonctionne très bien, vous créerez ainsi un intérieur audacieux et original. Nuancier noir, jaune et bleu canard, Design Seeds --- Une décoration jaune discrète --- Que ce soit grâce à des décorations murales peintes dans un camaïeu de jaune très clair, ou dans une chambre enfant avec un linge de lit et un tapis jaune moutarde, ce style plaira aux plus réticents d'entre vous... Ces différents jaunes, du très clair jaune beige au jaune moutarde, apporteront une petite touche vintage à votre intérieur, et surtout beaucoup de douceur... Nuancier jaune moutarde et marron, Design Seeds --- Un jaune tonique qui réveille la salle à manger --- abeautifullmess.com Envie de donner un coup de pep's à votre salle à manger, sans trop de dépense et pour un effet surprise garanti ? Associez comme ici des chaises, toutes dépareillées (récupérées de chez grand mamie, ou d'Emmaüs...), peintes dans le même jaune citron. Le coup de jeune est complètement au rendez-vous ! --- Une porte coulissante, un rideau, un tapis... tous de jaune vêtus --- Et pourquoi ne pas penser aux rideaux ou aux tapis jaunes? Facilement remplaçables, vous prenez ainsi peu de risques de vous tromper... Et l'effet est parfait ! Une porte coulissante peut également devenir un élément de décoration à part entière, comme ici peinte en jaune, pour donner de la personnalité à l'espace... Nuancier vert d'eau et jaune ocre, Design Seeds --- Le jaune pour un petit côté vintage --- Les motifs et la déco vintage, en ce moment, c'est complètement tendance ! Dans une société parfois instable, où l'avenir est incertain, le retour aux sources et au bon temps est de rigueur, même dans la déco... ;) Alors pour apporter une petite touche vintage à sa déco, pourquoi ne pas se laisser tenter par des chaises aux motifs jaunes rétros (Mademoiselle Dimanche) ou par une petite table en formica pour son balcon? Pour les plus téméraires, un papier peint à motif jaune moutarde sera parfait pour égayer son salon... --- L'association du jaune et du noir, un duo qui cartonne --- Pour donner beaucoup de caractère à un espace, pourquoi ne pas associer un jaune vif à une gris anthracite ou un noir? Un vrai effet boeuf ! Ici dans une salle de bain, les couleurs se marient parfaitement au blanc du meuble et de la baignoire... Pour ne pas en faire trop, ne pas rajouter d'autres couleurs, au risque de faire too much... Nuancier noir, gris et jaune moutarde, Design Seeds Alors ça y est, c'est décidé, vous vous mettez à l'heure du jaune ? Le printemps avant l'heure, on aime ! A très vite les voisins ;)
Ciao a tutti! Conoscete tutti lo sport più popolare tra i maghi? Ma si, dai! Quattro palle, tre anelli da centrare, sette giocatori per ogni squadra, e altrettanti manici di scopa da cavalcare! Il Quidditch! Con i timbri di Impronte d'autore ho riprodotto parte della squadra dei Grifondoro, pronta per entrare in campo! Sulla busta il solito sigillo con lo stemma di Hogwarts (adoro!): Ed eccoli qua, i nostri tre maghetti, con le scope già in mano, che stanno andando felici negli spogliatoi, per indossare la divisa prima della partita! La scritta frontale e il boccino sullo sfondo sono tagliati con una fustella. Gli anelli sul retro sono disegnati e tagliati a mano. Il capitano della squadra, il Cercatore Harry Potter: Il portiere, Ronald Weasley (sempre il nostro re): E la cacciatrice Ginny Weasley: Lo sfondo è colorato con gli inchiostri Distress: La struttura della card permette di essere piegata per essere inserita nella busta: Spero di aver fatto una presentazione degna di Lee Jordan, (anche se assomigliare a quella di Luna sarebbe un onore). Per oggi è tutto, vi aspetto presto con altre creazioni. Veronica Scrap Blu.

Lately I've been on a kick to try to use more of my scraps. I have a lot saved up, and I'd love to start using them more in my quilts. I designed this super scrappy flying geese block to use some low volume prints, gray prints, and some prints in your favorite color - (right now mine is green) and I named this block the Scrap Bin Geese block. Here's what you'll need for one block: 12 (2.5" square) green print scraps 6 (2.5" x 6.5") gray print strips 6 (2.5" x 6.5") low volume strips Step 1: Using a pencil, draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of each of the 2.5" green squares. Step 2: Lay out all of the block elements as shown above, with the low volume strips on one side and the gray on the other. Decide where you want to place each green square. Step 3: Flip over the green squares so they are right sides together with the low volume / gray strips. At this point you want to make sure your drawn lines are going in the correct direction (see photo above). Step 4: Sew directly on the drawn lines. Step 5: Trim each seam allowance to about 1/4". Fold open each green triangle and press. Step 6: Next, sew sections of block together in strips, using a scant 1/4" seam allowance (see photo below). For example, sew strip 1 to strip 2, 3 to 4, 5 to 6, etc. Press seams open Step 7: Sew rows together, using a scant 1/4" seam and matching up the center seams. Once all rows are sewn together, press seams. Block should measure 12.5' square You can mix things up by swapping which side the gray prints are on like in the photo below. And here is a sample of what a whole quilt would look like! This is made of 30 blocks (6 rows of 5 blocks each) and would measure 60" x 72". Looking for more quilt block tutorials?

Hi everyone! Gabrielle here with you today to share with you my first project as a Shimmerz Educator! I was so excited to get my happy little hands on some of the NEW Inklingz and was just amazed by the beautiful effect you can get with them. As soon as I saw the color 'Blue My Mind' from the Inklingz, I knew I had to do something whimsical with it. I pulled out some polymer baking clay (Sculpey or Fimo) and made a mermaid tail to act as a center-piece to my canvas design. I also made a few little accent pieces (Starfish designs) to add to the canvas as well. The mermaid was made by sculpting the clay by hand (basically rolling the clay in the palm of my hands and forming a tail) and the 'scales' were added by using the tip of a pen (with the pen retracted so that the ink tip doesn't touch the clay). I used the pen tip on the starfish as well to create a little textural pattern. I baked it for 15 minutes (275 degree oven) and gave the piece a coat of Gesso....now it is ready to paint! I gathered together a bunch of my gorgeous Shimmerz products and an 8"x10" canvas and got started. Here is a list of the Shimmerz products I used for this canvas..... Shimmerz Products: Inklingz (Blue My Mind, Miner Miner 49er), Texturez (Patina), Spritz (Treasured Hymn), Vibez (Egg Noggin', Jenni B Blue), Dazzlerz (Tutti-Frutti), Shimmerz (Key Lime, Olive Green). Dusty Attic Chipboard: (NEW) Sea Grass, Grass Clusters, Mini Grass clusters #2, Mini Corner #2, Title Alphas And to make it easy to follow along, I created a video tutorial to show, step by step how I created this canvas. Enjoy! Here are a few close-ups of my project.... The Inklingz create such a wonderful two toned, shimmering effect, I think my favorites are in the 'Gold' collection, I know I'll be using these again and again! As you can see in the video, Shimmerz products are easy to use. The Inklingz are a little different because they are a dry cake, much like a watercolor pigment cake. You just add a little sprtiz of water let it sit for a moment and do a little stirring with your paint brush. The more you stir, the thicker and more luxurious the paint becomes. For my chipboard piece I used some Shimmerz paint, they have wonderful little flecks of mica in them that not only add glitter to your design but even a tiny bit of texture as well. And finally here is a photo of the corner cluster of embellishments I added to my project. I hope you enjoyed my project and that I've inspired you to give a mixed media canvas a try. If you would like to purchase some of the NEW Inklingz or any other Shimmerz products, just head on over to the SHIMMERZ STORE .....and remember if you would like a FREE bonus Shimmerz product, when you put your order in just put my name 'Gabrielle' into the 'INTRUCTIONS TO MERCHANT' area and you will recieve a FREE full sized bottle of Dimensionz or Shimmerz or a sample sized jar of Dazzlers or Textures in the color of your choice! Note: right now you can get extra savings on your Inklingz by purchasing full sets of the Pearl, Gold or Metal color groups! Thanks so much for stopping by today and checking out my project! xo www.gabriellepollacco.blogspot.ca
