Month: April 2014

So my friends at Simon called and asked if I would like to fly out and play for a weekend – um… YES!! This event is going to be super fun – I just had to share it with you all as soon as information was posted!! Basically there will be three classes each day (total of six classes) taught by amazing instructors including THREE Tim Holtz classes!! You can find more information about the classes here.

There will also be retreat/crafty space for those who are in the classes available (how cool is that?)

and…

if the event itself isn’t in your budget but you want to pop in and say hi- well then go right ahead! Simon will have an on-site shop. In fact- for most of the event I will be there doing live demos, creating up a storm, and maybe even filming a new YouTube video or two for my channel!

Registration opens this Friday for the event. Want more info? Go on over and check out Simon’s blog posting about it here.

I hope to see you in Columbus!!

It’s coming! It is going to be different than years past- I’m excited to share more information soon!!

Right now- I would love your input via comment here or email (mflaum @ comcast . Net)

What topics would you love to see? What types of projects? What companies featured and/or give-aways from? Do you like shopping discount codes?

I think you’re going to love what I have so far, but I also would love some feedback. 🙂

Thanks!

Ps: 2 people who comment or email me will also be randomly drawn for all-access passes to camp scrap 2014…

Embarking on a (cardmaking) journey today -perfect for when you want to go on a little creative journey but keep it simple too. Basically? Stamp a background, add it to some more layers, add finishing touches. Easy – and you can focus on the creative choices like ink color and playing.

1. Create background by stamping with distress ink (then dipping in water + drying totally)

2. Add washi tape, layer stamping – including embossing only half of the “journal” stamp, and stitch onto cardstock layers.

3. Add metal bits, the ruler ribbon and a raised stamped image as well as the word stickers.

Boom! Easy as one-two three- but a whole lot of fun!

Supplies Used:

Another Monday, another challenge week! This week it is all about the journey. Simon is, as always, offering a generous $50 voucher that will be randomly drawn from the eligible entries each week.
