Hi All!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had some spare time last week and sat down to play....literally play! I didn't have a plan or anything except that I wanted to create with supplies that I just haven't had time to properly create with yet. That included my NeoColorII water soluble wax pastels and my Pebeo DYNA Iridescent paints...so this background is actually shimmery!!! SO FUN! Wish I could figure out how to take a better picture to show the shimmer! I got the paints at DeSerres in WEM. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let me tell you, I LOVE these NeoColorII's, NOW! I've had some DUD creations with these guys for sure because I didn't' take the time to use them correctly with the supplies I had. AKA my journal. My journals are not watercolor journals, they are mixed media paper....there is a difference! They take the pigments differently. So when I first used them, I was not impressed with them. They didn't produce the results I expected, BUT it was my fault for using them incorrectly on the paper I had. So I figured out how to use them in my journals and I tell you, I will be using them A LOT now! They are pricey, but worth it! These "crayons" allow you loads of control, but best of all, the pigments are very concentrated and go a LONG LONG WAY. So that breaks the price down considerably making them worth their price tag! You can buy them individually at Delta Art ($2.45-2.95 depending if sale is on; for my Edmonton area peeps) or buy them in sets that come in a fabulous metal case to keep your precious color jewels safe. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I worked in my large A3 Moleskine, but I just did it as a single spread, so I turned it sideways. This makes it the same size as a Dylusions journal, BUT with NO SEAM! So you have a bit more creative freedom. The picture is not of the full page, but zoomed in on the owl. If it was, you'd see that the owl would be 2/3 on one page and 1/3 on the other...which wouldn't look as impressive with a seam down one eye. Check out picture below this is the full spread. (work in progress shot)</div>

<span class="_Xbe">Come and join me in creating in your large A3 Journal on Wednesday, Feb 17. We will be making this fabulous Galaxy spread and as usual, YOU are in charge of your design! Leave it as a Galaxy or take it to the next funky level and add some Alien Pin Up Girls! Either way, the technique is 100% the same! As with all Urban classes, paint is supplied! Your very small supply list is available in the shop, it's just standard tool kit and I think modeling paste (I used whipped spackle)</span></div>

<span class="_Xbe">If you don't have an A3 Journal yet, no worries, Urban has some fabulous Moleskines in stock, that's what I create in! They're $60, and worth EVERY penny! 96 gorgeous pages just begging for you to paint, spray, splatter and stamp! I worked it out, and it comes to $1.20/double spread! Well worth the investment! I also turn it sideway and create single page spreads in it as well, and that makes them the same size as your classic journal WITHOUT a seem in the middle! I LOVE creating this way too! </span></div>

<span class="_Xbe">If this is your first A3 class, and you are not sure about the journal just yet, no worries, bring a canvas or watercolor sheet to create on similar in size (16.5x24 is the journal size)....then I bet you after the class, you'll purchase that journal ;) </span></div>

<br />
Are you in love with Art Journaling, Mixed Media? Been playing in your journal for awhile? It’s time to UP the anti on your Mixed Media Journaling and create in a HUGE A3 Moleskine Journal! What’s that you ask? It’s the cream of the crop journal for Mixed Media! Creamy, buttery pages that are made to take all the gorgeous layers of media you can throw at it! A3 (12x16.5) size is considerable larger than the classic (but still awesome) Dylusions Journal which is A4(8.5x12). The Moleskine is NOW available at Urban!!! Sign up for this class, (my first at Urban!) and let me show you how to take the intimidation out of those huge massive blank pages and show you why go BIG or go HOME is one of my favorite saying. Pop down to the shop today to check out the spread in person, photo’s do it ZERO justice! I promise you are going to want to stroke the wings, the texture is just amazing! <br />
<br />
In this class we will paint and amazing background and elevate it by creating a fabulous winged layout that you will be in charge of. Make it pretty or make it super grungy...or something in between! The point is, it is YOUR creation, I’m just there to teach you the techniques! Upon registration, please let us know if you would like to do an Audrey Hepburn or Daryl from The Walking Dead spread. Or feel free to bring your own photocopy pictures.<br />
<br />
PS if you don’t want to create in an A3 Journal, feel free to bring a Canvas close to the same size. 23x16 inches<br />
<br />
Supply List: Looks long but most is standard mixed media kit<br />
A3 Moleskine or Canvas; Scissors,Baby wipes, craft mat; paint palette (I use a coffee can lid), water bottle, paper towels, heat tool, gel medium w/brush, METAL palette knives, large soft paint brushes ( I used Martha Stewart), 1 stiff (Dina Wakley); Fan brush; 2 make up sponges ;White Sharpie Paint Pen; Charcoal and Sketch & Wash pencils; Craft Scraper or old hotel card; watercolor brush, Black Glitter (Prima recommended in the small shaker, much easier to use!); Donna Downey Mini Numbers Repeat Stencil DD-072 or any stencil you’d like to sub. Mine will be in class, but to speed things along I HIGHLY suggest you bring your own. </div>
</div>

Hi Everyone!<br />
WOW I can not believe it's been since April that I blogged last! CRAZY! Time is flying in the most wonderful way since I closed the doors to the store front! I happily just create and teach now; I am positively enjoying life.<br />
Anyways.....<br />
Today's post is about a new to me product: Color Burst by Ken Oliver Crafts. I went down to The Urban Scrapbook here in Edmonton which was my fav local store before I opened my own....and is now my fav again....and Lynette showed me Color Burst. The write up on the back says " Color Burst micro fine concentrated powder colorant to be used with water on porous surfaces"; this sounded very intriguing to me so I bought one. As I'm sure all of you do, when you buy a new product, or at least hear of one...you go and google it and see what comes up; and then head straight to YouTube to watch videos. I was in love with what I was seeing. You need such a little bit of pigment to make a massive impact.<br />
Well, Thursday early morning I found I had a bit of time to play. I worked on this massive spread in my A3 HUGE Moleskine journal on Wednesday but it wasn't quite finished yet. As you can see; it's a very abstract page, and I enjoyed every minute of creating it. It's very freeing just creating to create...it may look like there is no rhyme or reason to it, but everything was well thought out of where I was placing it, and what colors I was using to make it cohesive. After all my layers the last thing I used was the Color Burst in the color Indigo; as this a water base product it is not permanent, so unless I was mixing it with gel, I new I had to use it last. I can NOT say enough good things about my first experience with this wonderful pigment. The best way I can describe it, is it acts organically. Well at least on top of paint, I haven't tried it on direct paper yet. It wasn't just dripping down like I expected, it was wicking and moving like it was alive! I barely used any! I mean it, ANY to get all that beautiful dark, blue, vibrant pigment! And I use a LOT of water, playing and manipulating seeing what it would do.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHr5G0tIeo2q0OW9VvCZ4X8ij2VcWT-FaJqbRleFYmG15FO32vFa7Lia2aWDuSCMDHz90nMlKRkMozxM02icc7tsVX6FJnidM4_DDeV3YA1BzmGgWMFlv6DChbLXJHiHJ3iYPwqffqQFA/s1600/colorburst2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHr5G0tIeo2q0OW9VvCZ4X8ij2VcWT-FaJqbRleFYmG15FO32vFa7Lia2aWDuSCMDHz90nMlKRkMozxM02icc7tsVX6FJnidM4_DDeV3YA1BzmGgWMFlv6DChbLXJHiHJ3iYPwqffqQFA/s400/colorburst2.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love how it molted and moved and activated my white sharpie paint pen that wasn't dry yet. I just squirted out the smallest amount of pigment and lightly sprayed with water and off it went. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
On this side, I sprinkled it into black liquid ink and loved out it took on a new appearance...anything wet activated the Color Burst. I also went a little crazy on this side playing with more pigment and water seeing what it could do. I even sprayed it with White Iresistable's spray to activate it too! So much fun!!! I'm going to go back to this side of the page and add some more Twisted Citron stencil work cause I ended up covering lots of my green pop accents. <br />

For those of you who have not seen the A3 Moleskine, that's it in the photo above closed, the black one. For a frame of reference I put my large Dylusions (A4) Art Journal on to of it. You can see this journal offers a heck of a lot more surface area to play and create in! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I still love my Dylusions and create it in all the time as well, but this one holds a special place in my painted heart. The pages are fabulous, and take loads of abuse, which is a must for me. They are buttery and smooth, but totally durable! My pages don't warp or buckle as you can see from the full spread picture above, these pages were totally put to heavy abuse! There is so much wet media on this creation, and my pages are perfectly straight! No bowing or curling! SWEET! <br />
I'll try not to stay away for so long!<br />
Thanks for stopping by! <br />

After doing lots of rearranging and changing my whole house up, I finally have a fabulous office...aka AMAZING CRAFT ROOM! So this week I have been creating like a made woman! It feels SO good to be cranking out some crafy goodness again! Today I am sharing with you the Prima Projects that I made. I had such an amazing time creating them all, not even sure if I can pick a favorite! Everything was made with 100% Prima! The only thing I added was the goggles on the Quentin Stamp, and a scroll wood frame from Micheal's, that's it...all the rest is Prima! Can you believe that?? This company really does carry EVERYTHING...from traditional paper crafting all the way to mixed media! It's fabulous!<br />
Anyhoo...on to the projects<br />
<br />
<b>Project 1</b> (above): Is a 10x20 Altered Mixed Media Canvas Board. Wood veneer stickers were randomly place down
first, then I used Chalk Board Paint to paint down a sky. Once dry, I
used a stencil ( it's the one with the anchors on it, but I just used
the line) and modelling paste to add some texture. Once dry I made a
glaze with Bloom Spray and dry brushed on. Then added Finn stamps for
more texture and assembled! All the balloon were hand cut out of 1 sheet
of Cartographer paper. <br />

<b>Project 2: </b>Altered Prima 12x12 Frame. I loved making this frame,
heat embossing this Bloom Girl Stamp, Quentin is so much fun! I used a
piece of lace pattern paper from one of Finn's books and he just looks
awesome! I heat embossed the same image on the black Cartographer sheet
as well and just hand cut the light image without the gears, and popped
it up on the black. One of my favorite things to do is alter pattern
paper with more patterns that look like they were already on the page.
All the white I added but had drawing the line with a white poster pen
and then used Prima white Gesso on one of Finn's script Stamps. (same
stamp I used in project 1, I LOVE this little stamp, $2.50 is all it
cost!). I also took one of the embellishment packaging trays that the resin gears
came in and painted it up with black gesso and used heavy gel medium to
attach it directly on to the frame...then it was just time to cluster
and embellish with fabulous hardware, resin and flowers! </div>

Project 3: Altered Wine Caddy. This wine caddy was originally gold and pretty dang shabby (not in a good way) but it was too hand to get rid of, so I just had to make it pretty! I used Prima's chalk paints again, I painted 3 coats of the egg blue, once dry added the black (made a stencil from a die). I painted the black on carefully and with a dry brush. I let it dry over night then sanded it like crazy, and with gold as a base color, it totally looks Shabby Chic awesome now! As you can tell, I'm in love with Prima's new Vellum Butterflies! Used 2 boxes already! LOL! I used a good mix of wood and flowers to complete the look. Also made a quick tag to put over one of the wine bottles. I know you can "pimp" this out much more, but to me, this was just a perfect altered Shabby Chic Wine Caddy! I already have people begging me for it! LOL! </div>

Last few projects are just ones I made a while ago, that were Prima so I thought I'd throw them in as well. As Always THANK YOU for stopping by today! Hope you saw something inspiring to make you want to create as well! </div>

Hi All</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You figure with the store being closed, I'd have more time to "play"...alas, it's not how it's working out! I've had so much to organize with the closure, like fitting a store into my house and garage! The main thing has been to time date organize ALL my store display layouts! I'm not anal or type A about many things EXCEPT my scrapbooks MUST be in date order! Like obsessively! It drives me BATTY~ I can't tell you how many hours, cause it's embarrassing, but I'm almost DONE! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Right now we are renovating our house, and I just sold our pool table in order to set my classroom back up down stairs!! SUPER happy about that and can't wait! Right now I've got 2 Monthly Clubs that meet up to Art Journal (last Tuesday of the month has 4 spaces if you want to jump in!) I would like to add in one "open" class a month too, aka, you don't have to join the club, just jump in on a class! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, TODAY's project are the cards I made for my twins 11 birthday on Tuesday. 11, yes I said that, my kids are 11, SCARY how fast it's going! I decided I HAD to play with the AWESOME NEW BLOOM GIRL (boy) stamp Quentin, I just LOVE him! And must say, Heat Embossing him is my new FAV thing to do! ( I have another fab project to post with the same technique). For the cards, I used all my favorites from Prima! Color Bloom Spray, Paper and Embellishments, all from Prima! I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Prima! </div>

Hi Everyone! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sorry it's been awhile since I posted, I'm still trying to get into a routine! Hockey finals are over for the twins so I should hopefully have more time to create. One thing I've figured out since I closed the store front is that I miss teaching, so starting at the end of this month I will be teaching from my house again...before I opened the store front, that is what I did. Our basement was designed to be my classroom, it's changed a bit down there, but we will be restoring the classroom!! I can't WAIT! If you are interested please leave a comment and I will get back to you or email me theinkedstamper@gmail.com I can't post the first class picture yet because I'm still waiting for my Tim Holtz Bird Crazy Stamp to come in stock...I was a little slow on the uptake and it was sold out! So now I'm just like you guys and have to wait! LOL! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>Mixed Media Class Info</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most classes we will be using at least ONE T.H. NEW RELEASE product so if you do not want to purchase from me, please purchase new monthly collections else where to bring to class. Each month you will leave with a completed large journal layout. I will send you out your small supply list of what you need to bring. If you are a Mixed Media Journaler, I bet you it's stuff you already own! Create in your favorite large journal, canvas, 12x12 Ranger Manilla..it is YOUR CHOICE as you bring it! I will have my stamps, stencils out of what we use, you just need your tool kit and supply list of paints/spray/ink of what we use that month. I would like to keep the same group going each month, and to get the Tim Holtz Deal you have to sign up for the whole year, we can take a break over summer though and just get products. Please REGISTER ASAP. One group is already full. If Tuesday fills I'll add a Wednesday Group too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not to get too confusing, but I'm hoping to get 3 Groups Going; Tues/Wed/Fri (Friday is full) that way if your specific group day doesn't work one month, you can jump in one of the others so you don't miss your class. </div>

WOW! 3 posts in one week! This is a miracle for me and proof to you that I am BACK to being just me...I'm still The Inked Stamper...but I'm the happier 2.0 version! I love that I have time to create and just have fun again! I do not miss the bills, orders, stocking...and all the headaches! The store front I only miss because of all the great friends/customers! Now I can just inspire you from home, on your computer, and we will have to meet up at other venues!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Those of you who knew me from the store, Courteney and I will be working together on some new ventures, once we figure stuff out...we will announce it here! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For today, my post is from my Dylusions Art Journal. I made a collage based inspired by one of Jane Davenport beautiful girls in her book I recently purchased. The book is just full of pretty girls to draw inspiration from. </div>

Here is Jane's fabulous girl from the book that inspired me to play that day...I love ANYTHING with birds on it, so I was immediately drawn to this image. I was not trying to copy her girl, but rather draw inspiration from her. I'm still trying to find my own style...I'm thinking whimsical seems to be more me, and big eyes, I prefer my girls to have big eyes. I think the girl I drew looks like a chubby Tinkerbell! LOL! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not going to go through the whole process of what I did...I was literally in the zone and 5 hours went by, so I can't remember 90% anyways. I know I started off by collage Tim Holtz tissue and some napkins, drew my girl, painted my girl with many different brands of paint, paint pens, gelatoes, prisma pencils, white sharpie, big brush pens everything but the kitchen sink is on this girl! LOL! I painted Prima Sprays for my background I think! LOL! Stencil, doodle, Irresitable drops...again, a load of products! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope it inspires you to get lost in your zone today too.</div>

Hi All! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well those of you who know me well, know one of my biggest complaints I had when the shop was open was that I had no time to create for just ME. I must say that I am loving creating again! Todays project was actually one I created this past summer...it was a just for me project, that ended up as a shop display, so some of you may have seen it already. It was just in this last edition of Canadian Scrapbooker as well, on their instagram page. But I don't think I ever blogged it, so here it is. It really is one of my favorite things I've made, and it now sits on my pretty vintage painted dresser welcoming people to my home...and facing my art desk so I can see it too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used lots of products to achieve this look; gesso, gelatoes, molding paste, Prima sprays, Big brush pens, liquid ink....it was a process of love, and I remember just having a fabulous time making it. It's actually on a 1.5 inch thick corrugated advertising display for smashbooks, I held on to it for years cause I knew one day I'd have time to create on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you like it! I've got 2 great mixed media canvases to post next week. One is a photo collage and one is a mixed media painting that I made to go over Ethan's bed.</div>

Hi All</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just a quickie post today to give a massive HUGE shout out to <a href="http://www.jamiedoughertydesigns.com/">Jamie Dougherty</a>. I've been lucky the last year and have taken some amazing classes by some of the biggest names in the industry...including 3 with Jamie. And I have to tell you, this lady has one of the biggest hearts EVER! She is so sweet, kind, compassionate.....ALSO, she is one hell of an AMAZING ARTIST and INSTRUCTOR! Not only have I taken 3 classes of hers in person, I am doing her Blooming through the Seasons online class, and I have purchased multiple pieces of her art (1 original, 1 custom made original I commissioned, and multiple prints, bags that we're made with her gorgeous designs on them) SO folks.....my point is Jamie is coming to Scrap Addicts the end of THIS MONTH and she still has spaces left! HOW I have zero idea...it's not my store to promote....but Jamie is honestly one of my most favorite people on planet earth! If you are in the Edmonton Area, please check out her<a href="http://www.scrapaddicts.ca/special-events"> class schedule and register today</a>. I promise you will be SO happy that you did! Go and learn from one of the industries most talented artists.....she doesn't just slap down a bunch of flowers and embellishments and call it done, she actually teaches you ART TECHNIQUES that you can use over and over again in your scrapbooking, card making, art journaling! She is a GENIUS! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My projects I'm showing you today, the one below was the one I did it Jamie's class. I love taking her Bloom Girl classes because they include the face templates for you to take home; online classes you print them out. That way you can reuse them over and over again! The sexy zombie up top you can see was recreated with the same template! I love this girl...I could easily just use her face and change the hair up to make her look different too, so I can keep using it again and again! </div>

Hi Everyone! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well for those of you who don't know, the store front is now closed; I won't get into huge details on here, but the short version, I was working 24-7, and the only thing that deserves that much attention is not a thing, but my family. So I am now a full time Momma and Crafter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will still be here for inspiration...and Courteney and I have some ideas that we need to figure out how to bring to life ...but for now, please continue to follow the Blog and take a second a follow on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Inked-Stamper-Scrapbook-Store/207337415961246?ref=hl">FB</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/theinkedstamper/">Instagram</a> too. I hope to have more time now to be more active on all the social media sites! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The shop has been closed for about 2 weeks now...and it was difficult for me to process that, plus sort out all the stuff that needed to be done...it honestly was a horrible 2 weeks for me. Even though I knew it was the right choice for me, and my family, it was still unbelievably hard. But I'm feeling more on the up right now and this week I found time to paint in my journal again. And let me tell you..it was amazing to just be creating something for me...not for a class or display, which was the only thing I had time for the last 4 years, I played just because I wanted too, and because I love it! It felt AMAZING! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Currently I am being inspired by Jane Davenport's style...my goal for the last few years has been to learn to draw girls better, but I never found the time to really sit down and dedicate the practice required to it. I've been trying to do that the last few weeks. I even started a small journal just for faces that I'm sketching in pencil to practice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQbTEnsuqOh3Mp0Q1mP0uS2TcuXLvtSlaJg_AFXpBhFu10Q3HrBFHulPNWoG5LVCo0BlOEqs70iCqxCXhi70pXdTCvdyiAHAoMtJ37qMYIPJLFtuW_eqrBu6Ilj3GlJior205b-0nAsjc/s1600/ariel+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQbTEnsuqOh3Mp0Q1mP0uS2TcuXLvtSlaJg_AFXpBhFu10Q3HrBFHulPNWoG5LVCo0BlOEqs70iCqxCXhi70pXdTCvdyiAHAoMtJ37qMYIPJLFtuW_eqrBu6Ilj3GlJior205b-0nAsjc/s1600/ariel+collage.jpg" height="200" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I won't bore you with all the details, but here are a few shots of how I started out. Sketching her with pencil, I did the face first, then added hair...I was not aiming for her to look like Ariel, but it's how she turned out, so I decided to just roll with it. I used a clear gesso over her so I could still see the lines, then I started painting. I used a mix of paints, paint pens, Big Brush Pens, Prisma Colors to bring her to life. The picture on the right was what I thought was done...but I knew something was just NOT right about here....I walked away from the art table, but brought the journal with me and stared at it while I watched TV. Then I figured it out! Her hair over her left shoulder was shaded wrong! It's hard to tell in the picture, red must not photo well, but her hair there was shaded dark, shadowed, BUT I brought it over shoulder therefore it's in the front! So it shouldn't be shadowed! OPPS! So I repainted over here with 2 layers of white gesso, and lots of skin tones to get ride of the hair over her shoulder and push back the shaded bits. And now she's more balanced. I know I have a LOT of work to do learning how to paint better and shade properly...but I think she is pretty dang good start! </div>

Hi everyone, Janine here for The Inked Stamper Design team! I hope you
all had a wonderful Christmas . I don't know about everyone else , but I
needed a little kick in the butt after the holidays to get back into my
crafting. Thank goodness for the design team inspiration, as soon as I
looked at it all of the ideas started flowing and I couldn't wait to
start my project! The Bo-Bunny Altitude paper line was the perfect place
to start my project and if you ask me they hit the nail right on the
head with this beautiful paper!! After choosing my paper I mixed up some
light modelling paste and a few sprays of Dylusions sprays in "Crushed
Grape" and used one of my snowflake stencils to give the paper some
texture and dimension. After that was dry I sprayed some "make your
own" Primary elements mixed with water in "Teal Zircon"( this was a
Finnabair trick she taught us this summer!) over top of the snowflakes. I
then sprayed Color bloom spray in Pearl white over the whole page to
tone down everything and give a beautiful shimmer! Then I stamped some
snowflakes on neutral paper with "weathered wood" distress ink, fussy
cut them out and then clear powder heat embossed them to give them shine
and texture. I picked a few different papers in the same Altitude line,
cut them in different shapes and sizes and inked the edges in weathered
wood to make a background for my picture. Then it was time to arrange
everything down on paper. I usually group all my embellishments in two
groups in a line that is pleasing to the eye. So away I went grouping
my stamped snowflakes, Prima dollie die cuts, Prima flowers, metal
snowflakes, say it in pearls and say it in crystals in a diagonal line
on either corner of my picture and finished it off with a burlap bow and
a few spots of silver Izinks! I had a ton of fun playing with my craft
stuff and making something pretty! I hope you all enjoy my project and
that I inspired you all to go into your own craft rooms and make
something pretty...after all it is too cold to go outside so you might
as well stay in and craft!!!! <br />

A Mini Mini-Album</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
hate snow and it would be a lot easier to keep hating if it wasn't so
pretty. And this month's inspiration happily gave me the motive to do
another mini album, but this one is tiny. It was a spur of the moment
idea, so (I'm sad to admit) I didn't get any in-progress photos of
working on it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7778621699251663130" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>I'm big on mini-albums because I
like actually finishing my projects and my 12x12 scrapbooks... I feel
like I never really finish them. This album only contains a couple of
favorite polaroids from the holiday season... two years ago. Better late
than never. Am I the only one a teeny bit behind? I've fallen off the
journal bandwagon because of the current holiday season so this project
was the perfect way to start my new year. I left room to slip in little
journal cards and 'detail' tags to go with the photos and I'll be adding
this to the shelf of minis.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
I also hid a
little new year's resolution in the pocket with the sequins (note to
self: take better pictures). I told myself it's ambitious: I'm going to
clear out old all the craft/art supplies I don't use in my craft room
and use some of the extra space (which I assume I will have after
organizing everything) to display my projects a little better. And I
hope one of the design team inspiration pictures will get me going on a
hand-made display!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hi All! Dawn here, before we move on to Pam's Awesome Banners, just wanted to let you know that January's I don't want to Count Stock Sale is still going on this week!! 50% off all products in shop...just not handmade items! </span></span></b></i></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Pam here with my design team project for January. Resolutions
have never been my strength. They tend to be monster-sized goals that
seize your attention for a few weeks until your best friend says to you,
as you're carrying your gym bag out to the car with the greenest of
green smoothies, there is a super sale at (you fill in the blank) and we
will need humungous lattes to survive the rush. Resolutions can be
behemoths if you let them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">But
resolutions really are simply goals; we just tend to make them at a
critical time when the world is bellowing sentiment of new beginnings
and fresh starts. Therefore we often take a reasonable, probably
meaningful, goal and turn the little critter into a mountain of an
accomplishment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">With that said, I
have made two "resolutions" this year (I have many goals but two of
which I really want to be mindful): (1) Organize better so that I may
(2) spend more time with family and friends. The first resolution may
surprise those of you who know me. I am quite the organized person.
Everything has a home and events and activities are always well planned
and prepared. What I need is a schedule. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I read this article (<a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/alannaokun/im-so-im-so-proud-of-you#.mhypmgamA" target="_blank">Here’s
What You Should Do Instead Of Making New Year’s Resolutions It’s
called a “rememberlutions” jar and it’ll make you feel good all year</a>) posted by <i>Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine</i>
and decided to, in addition to my two resolutions, celebrate the
smaller resolution successes as they come as well as all of the
magnificent things, memories and accomplishments over the next twelve
months by creating my own rememberlutions jar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">That coupled with our design team inspiration, I was off to the races.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Merry Christmas, fellow crafters! As my post was scheduled to be the last before Christmas, I thought it a little late for Christmas card inspiration, so decided to create some wine tags. I made mine based off the above inspiration photo, but these would be great to make and use throughout the holiday season whilst visiting family and friends to really dress up a bottle of wine.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_1429.jpg" height="711px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/5S_NRs19SyXLeDatNEs2upQ_-s7GzFE7VL9eoGOkqkqdbxYLI7s1QT6vRr_R9VBF3RnhROptc6Hh_VUJ9Y4PEyUyyGVz7F1DHHyXxNg0goqQ--x9Xl_Uspy7yVDWuA__Ew" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0.00rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0.00rad);" width="356px;" /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This one is simple and classy. The snowflake was cut using the Lawn Fawn “Stitched Snowflakes” die set, which I’ve used a lot on Christmas crafts this year. I also added some accents to everything with a white gel pen.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For this one, I went with a more whimsical deer and humorous saying. This would actually be great to put on a bottle of vodka, rye, or any other spirit, as it would make it extra “punny.” The deer is from the Dylusions “Christmas Accessories” set and the sentiment is from the Dylusions “Christmas Words” set, which is a must-have for those snarky holiday cards.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Instead of colouring the image, I chose to paper piece him.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="PicMonkey Collage.jpg" height="464px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/gWFLbWFL8EgHOiKBAs70HFidkXCo9DjJjoglmTOU0m_QB5AovYOij4tqQe2tWjBUTNghpkkvxm_AuPmnDWzXdc58bgU9TCRati0m0bG2UqhoJLCgLeSxU0RGEwHjRtGNuw" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0.00rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0.00rad);" width="624px;" /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This one pulls double duty as a gift card holder. I didn’t have a gift card at home, so made a stand-in for demonstrative purposes. On the block letters, I used a snow pen marker and some Iced Stickles.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">To create the pocket, I simply folded the piece around the main panel and glued it all together. The whole piece was then adhered to the wine tag base</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="pocket making.jpg" height="312px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/iv8esrhNI3t_HdrsNdrkYwe8xEvNTojyWffYicSY6D6PRCnJP6GnlQvPFaemEolsGqMlShUqOH9zU5o5LmJ5NqoNM4NI1VlHQXj25FPGXBLcbHRP9wdcLA6kOaX8KJEcdA" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0.00rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0.00rad);" width="624px;" /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A tip when creating pockets of any sort: be sure to use a wet adhesive as opposed to a dry one, lest your gift card, money, picture, or whatever you’re placing in the pocket, get stuck to the dry adhesive which will never truly “dry” and be not sticky anymore. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">These wine tags are fairly easy to make, and you can make them as simple or elaborate as you want. Should you like to make your own wine tags for the holiday feasting season I will give you the measurements for the bases of the ones I made.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">First Two Tags:</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Paper cut to 8.5” x 2.75” and scored at 2.5”. I used a 2” circle punch for the hole because it is literally the only circle punch I own, but I think a smaller one would be better - 1.5” would probably be perfect.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Third Tag:</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Paper cut to 7.75” x 3.75” and scored at 2.5”. The piece for the pocket was cut to 2.5” x 4.25” and then scored a quarter of an inch on each side to create the flaps to wrap around the main panel of patterned paper. I wanted the pocket a little bigger so more of that great deer paper would be showing, but didn’t want the gift card drowning in the pocket, so when gluing it together I put glue on the entire bottom half (1.25”) so the gift card could stick out the top.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Thanks for joining the design team this month and hopefully you were inspired for your own Christmas crafting. I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season with your family and can’t wait to start creating again in 2015!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello everyone! I had fun doing this months project - after a short </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">period of WHAT THE HECK DO I DO WITH THAT!? when I first saw the </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">inspiration photo. It was a very short moment though, as the minute I </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">saw the frame in the corner I knew exactly what I wanted to do.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />I started with a Kaisercraft Beyond the Page Ornate frame. I had </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">originally wanted to use it for another project, but it worked great for </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">this one. I put Gesso on it first, then painted it with the fab Dina </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Wakely white acrylic paint. I then used Viva Decor white crackle, along </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">with some Prima Bloom spray in gold to give it an aged/antique look. I </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">then used the amazing My Mind's Eye Sleigh Bells Ring paper line for </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">both the back (the branches paper) and the letters (the Reindeer names </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">paper). I was originally going to make my own pine cones but couldn't </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">get them to work as I wanted (at least not in time to get my project </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">done!) so instead found some at a local store that I funky'd up using </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">the Glitter Dust in Silver that I got from the fabulous Dawn!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />My final step was to put everything together. I have been asked a few </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">times how I do this and since there is really no rhyme nor reason to my </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">process, I thought I might do a video to show everyone just that. I will </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">be posting it to my YouTube channel right after my project goes up on </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">the blog, so please check it out and let me know what you think! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx65qO9iM7BmrBWFJGcPo3A)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Again, I want to thank Dawn and Courtney and everyone at The Inked </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Stamper for this great opportunity to be part of their team! Hope you </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">all enjoy my project and have a very Merry Christmas!</span></span><br />

<br />I started with an old window I had from an abandoned farmhouse. I painted the glass with chalk paint. I then created mini library card pockets from the wonderful My Mind's Eye Sleigh Bells Ring paper line, strung them on twine with clothes pins and used the tags (that are tucked in the pockets) from the same paper line combined with some I created with card stock and ink sprays. All the tags are decorated with brads from the Joyous paper line from My Mind's Eye. <br />The numbers are called Advent Tags also from the Joyous LIne from My Mind's Eye and the bow at the bottom was is also a part of the Sleigh Bells Ring collection centered with a Flair Button from Echo Park Paper.<br />The top of the window is adorned with Kaiser Craft wooden Reindeers sprayed with Dylusions Spray and touched with stickles.<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Supply List</b></span><br />12 x 12 paper - 'Sleigh Bells Ring' from My Mind's Eye<br />Advent Tags - 'Joyous' from My Mind's Eye<br />Bows - 'Sleigh Bells Ring' from My Mind's Eye<br />Deocrative Brads - 'Joyous' from My Mind's Eye<br />Flair Buttons - ' Christmas Cheer' from Echo Park Paper<br />Wooden Flourishes - 'Reindeer' from Kaiser Craft<br />Dylusion Sprays - 'Cherry Pie' and 'White Linen'<br />Decorative Washi Tape from Carta Bella<br />Tomato - 'Izink'<br />Dark Brown -'Stickles'<br />24 wooden mini clothes pins<br />1 red glittered mini clothes pin<br />Striped ribbon from my stash<br />Twine from my stash<br />Gesso, Scissors,Stapler and Glue Gun<br />

<br />
Have CRAFTY FRIENDS....want to earn HOSTESS BENEFITS for bringing them to me? SIGN UP for a CLUB or BOOK A PARTY TODAY AND EARN FREE GOODIES!! Read on for details.<br />
<br />
<b>CARD CLUBS & SCRAPBOOK CLUBS</b>: It's important to take "ME" time, and I appreciate how HARD that is, don't forget I have twin boys in hockey and run my own business! I'm hearing more and more lately how nobody has time...so your hobby gets bumped to the bottom of the pile. Me Time is IMPORTANT...you DESERVE IT, it will make you happier, and balanced which will benefit everyone in your life, but most of all it will benefit YOU! So for 2015 I am starting up Clubs again, they are SCHEDULED, so EVERY month, you know when and where your ME time will be...plus they are only 1 hour, so even the busiest person can carve away 1 hours...drop your kids off at their event, and come back to the shop to do YOUR event!<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #990000;"> What are the Clubs?</span></i> Each month we will meet up as a Group, and you will make your projects, then you will shop. Like the home parties, there will be a HOSTESS each month, the hostess may bring a snack to share if they choose, and the hostess of the month will receive HOSTESS BENEFITS based on the groups sales. Each month there will be minimum purchase of $30 (pre tax, excluding sale items) per person required to make sure everyone hits their Hostess Benefits. The more the group shops, the more you receive! So you may choose to bring in extra people to shop to boost up your sales that month! There will be a Club Sign up Fee payable at the start to cover the cost of material used to make the projects :<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Cards $5/month includes 2 cards (1 technique based, 1 simpler)</b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Scrapbook $7/Month includes one 12x12...this is a BARGAIN, $0 instructor fee and below retail cost/class! </b></li>
<li><b>Price is due upfront and will be based on how many we get/group. Min is 9 to hit hostess chart, max is 12. </b></li>
<li><b>Card Club Start Dates: Monday January 12. Day Club: 10:30-11:30 am; Night Club 6:30-7:30pm: runs every 2nd Monday $60 for 12 Classes of 2 cards each month</b></li>
<li><b>Scrapbook Club: Wednesday January 14 Day Club 10:30-11:30am; Night Club 6:30-7:30 pm runs every 2nd Wednesday $84 for 12 classes of one 12x12 layout each month </b></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>PARTIES</b></span>: will run similar to home based parties, except you will have the whole shop to shop from, not be limited to a catalog and no waiting! You book a Party, invite all your friends, ($5/person for 2 Cards, $7 for Layout) we will make a pretty project, and then you all shop! You will earn HOSTESS BENEFITS based on the sales!<br />
<br />
<b>Hostess Benefits*</b><br />
$250-$499 Sales= 7% of Party Sales + 1 Item of choice at 25% off*<br />
$500-$999 Sales= 10% of Party Sales + 2 Items of choice at 40% off*<br />
$1000+= 15% of Party Sales + 3 Items of choice at 40% off<br />
<br />
*Hostess Benefits are a bonus to the hostess each month and do not count towards her own Club purchase that month, she is still required to make her minimum purchase. Benefits must be used at the close of the party, and may not be used on custom orders. The 25-40% off item of choice is subject to limitations: not valid on commission pieces or Die Cut Machines. Also, they are in ADDITION to the 7-15% Party Sales, hostess money may not be used to pay for them. They are not mandatory to use, and are NOT transferable to your friends. <br />
<br />
Please call the shop (780)458-2422 to register or book a party. You may send an email to theinkedstamper@gmail.com or contact me via private message on the FB store page as well if it is past business hours.<br />

I thought I was ahead for Christmas this year until I realized all the presents I'd bought and wrapped needed some cards to go with them. The project inspiration photo sent me into overdrive. I was originally planning on another mini-album but somehow cards won out.</div>
<h1>
The Pieces</h1>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made ten cards by sets of two. The pairs only differ slightly but this was my way of speeding things up. I'm huge on the wood veneer embellishments right now (/since I first saw them coming out) and had to force myself to actually use them rather than stare at them and admire how incredibly cute they are.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm also a love of twine and string. Besides the fact that I have an embarrassing amount already stashed around my craft room... it's fun. So easy to work with. Sometimes you just plop it down and it works (or at least that's what I tell myself).</div>
