Monday challenge

Gee I wish I was a little more computer literate! There was a paint tutorial on Studio Calico's blog that I want to show you so that you can try this challenge, and I'm not quite sure how to link it up! Frustrating!! lol

I'm hoping that this will somehow work. If not, google Studio Calico, and if you check on the left hand bar of the page,under May's posts, it's called Paint Effects Tutorial. My challenge to you is to try something this fun! Play with paint and ink and stamps on a plain background.

I had so much fun with this! I actually tried it several times, and here are two to show you. Try using a black background and a white gel pen. I tried that the other day, and instead of stamping, I used white embossing powder. I love the fun, messy look of these layouts, you could never duplicate these entirely if you tried. There are a million different paints and backgrounds you can use! Different sized circles, or stars, or squares... I seriously love this look. I'm up to my elbows in paint, and love it!
Have a good week! Have fun trying something new!

Hello Friday!

So I'm heading off to Calgary again this weekend, but this time, just for Saturday. I have a mock practical exam to help me prepare for my licensing exam at the end of June. I'm getting a little nervous, but I keep reminding myself that it's what I do all day, every day. The worst part of being gone this weekend, is that it cuts into my scrapping time. lol
Have you had a good look at the kit that I've designed for this month? It's useful for more than just the project. I took the one page and lifted it, to show you how versitile they can be.This is just the left hand side, and I followed a similiar scheme as before, just used different colours, and changed placement of the title and and photo.It was niec not having to come up with a new scheme, cause lately, I haven't had as much time to scrap as I would like. And I also loved the design the first time around.

So think about picking up a kit, and using it for more than just what it was intended for. And then have a look at some work you've done already, and see if you can scraplift yourself too.

Have a good weekend! ~RonniH.

What I've been working on...

I have a quick moment, and thought I'd show you what I've been working on this week. A simple lo of my girls and I. I used a scrap piece of paper, and traced around it with paint., and added paint to the edges of the photo too.I love the new embossable cardstock. It's black with a blue core. So I traced out a three, and distressed the edges. As well, I stamped lettters onto the blue side with my new Tim Holtz stamps, and punched out some butterflies, and traced and cut out a heart. Inked the edges of them too. To the heart I added some eyelets, and threaded 3 strings of floss and tied 'em up. I totally love that new Basic Grey paper, I had to be careful not to drool on it, lol. What can I say, I'm special with a capital R (as my daughter would say)
Anyways, don't forget to check out Tammy's challenge, and have a good week! :)
