Theme Challenge – Change or New Beginings

Hey there crafty friends, welcome back to the SN blog.

The starting of a new year for many is a fresh start, a time to start new routines, or make resolutions. Personally, I think we can make changes anytime throughout the year and I’ve been thinking about this change to several months. I have some creative goals set out and I have to make some changes to accomplish them. One goal is making space for more creative time (including videos)…I burned the midnight oil and got it finished.
The first video from me for 2019. Check!

The Nerds challenged us to use the theme Change/New Beginnings for our projects. I got out one of my big Dina Wakley Media journals along with some other products from DW.
I did not have a plan for this when I started except that I wanted to use a Face from the DW Faces Collage paper pack.

I hope you enjoy seeing how this page evolves.

Stay tuned later this week the rest of the creative team here at SN will be sharing their projects using the same theme.

Let me know in a comment if you’ve set any creative goals this year and what they are.
Happy crafting!

New Art Journal – Decorating the Cover

mixed media Monday at scrapbooknerd.com

Hi ya!
I’m starting a new art journal and I actually decorated the cover for once. Most of my journal covers are still blank with some messy paint splatter on them. This Journal is the new Vicki Boutin Junque Journal and I’m excited to start using it.

Decorating the cover of your art journal

I created a quick time-lapse video to share the process, I hope it gives you some ideas to try.

If you have any questions, let me know in your comments.

Mixed Media Favourites

Welcome back friends,
I’m back to share some projects that I created using some of my favourite things.
1. Making my own background papers
2. Paint!
3. Dina Wakley stamps

I started with a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper that I created with paint, stamps and stencils. Then cut it down into several pieces including one tag.

All of the focal images have been stamped, cut out, and popped up with foam tape. I added a few details to some of the cards with paint, stamps and the tube from a paper towel roll.

Some of the sentiments are from the Tim Holtz Small Talk sticker book. Another favourite product of mine. 🙂
