Backgrounds: Pattern Vs. Solid

Author: Tania #4626 | Category: Crafting, Scrapbooking, Tools | Posted: May 19, 2013 at 2:37 pm

Photo

I prefer to use mostly solid backgrounds and use pattern as embellishment on my pages, but this week, I tried something different when playing with the Carnival Queen collection by Ruby Rock It. (Fiskars and Ruby Rock It swapped products for a monthly feature so I got a handful of product to play around with! FUN!) I started by building my layout onto a piece of patterned paper that arrived with ...

Using Your Tools In Unconventional Ways

Author: Tania #4626 | Category: Crafting, My Life, Tools, Tutorials, Mixed Media | Posted: May 17, 2013 at 2:53 pm

I recently created a project in which I used some of my trusty Shapes Templates to create a mosaic garden stepping stone. Say what!?  Yep, tis true.  I used papercrafting tools for a project that in no way involved paper and it was awesome! I love having a variety of tools at my fingertips for whatever my mind dreams. It was such a fun project to work on and a joy to be able wrap i...

Ruby Rock It wall decor

Author: Emma #7981 | Category: Crafting | Posted: May 16, 2013 at 7:00 am

Photo
Just wanted to show  you this framed wall art that I created for Tegenn's bedroom walls using the Carnival Line by Ruby Rock It. It is SERIOUSLY cute!! When you're 6 years old, life should be 'one big 'party', am I right? Tegenn certainly makes the most of every day and she sees the fun in the most ordinary of moments - she's a hoot and happily, she likes her new wall decor too. I used...

Tuesday Trends : Flamingos

Author: Emma #7981 | Category: Crafting | Posted: May 14, 2013 at 11:52 am

Photo
I REALLY liked Tania's 'Trends' challenges she set for the NSD crop and so I thought it might be nice to introduce Tuesday Trends, where we pick a current trend in the creative world and discuss what we think of it and ways to use it in projects. So today, I'm thinking FLAMINGOS! Personally, I think they are soooo retro cool! Have you seen the huge plastic ones you can stick in the ground in you...

String Art: It is Trendy Again!

Author: Tania #4626 | Category: Crafting, Tools, Techniques, Tutorials, Altered Art, Mixed Media | Posted: May 11, 2013 at 5:20 pm

Photo
Have you noticed that this popular artform has become the trend again? String art is a very fun way to add some personality to your home decor. For this piece I grabbed a handful of my favorite border punches and went to town punching strips of cardstock in varying shades or coral and pink. I then layered them in an overlapping fashion until the whole board was covered and then worked on nailing ...

Are you a nurse? Do you know a nurse? Want to THANK a nurse? It's International Nurse's Week around the world and though many of us will never be able to convey how thankful we are for the people who work in this caring profession, I thought it might be nice to encourage you to make a 'thank you' card and post it in the gallery.  International Nurse's Week end Sun May 12, so try and get the...
