Scrapbooking Made Simple

This is a project I created for a glimmermisting class.  I had pulled this post (previously posted in March) as this project was to be publlished in the Cricut Magazine but now that it has gone to publication I can again show you my creation. I am really loving my glimmermist at the moment and am trying to get as much done as possible before the Tim Holz Distress Pens come cause I know I'm gonna want ALL of those! LOL So one of the things I love about glimmermisting is how pretty the effect of mixing colours comes up and how cheaply you can complete a project. This project uses three pieces of white cardstock attached to mini canvases.  The only extra costs are two little charms, a rub on from Kaisercraft, some acetate and styrofoam, toothpicks, some ribbon and the wings. Everything else was created from my three pieces of cardstock. The techniques I used here were misting, pooling, masking, resist stamping and heat emboss stamping.  If you want to know how to do ...

On the weekend I had the pleasure of teaching a couple of scrapbooking classes at the Redcliffe Art Gallery.  When I was asked to do this I was pretty stoked and the classes were just as enjoyable as I imagined. It's always nice to work with people who are so genuine and friendly. For the class I made the above two simple examples for the kids to copy if they wanted to..... otherwise their creativity was the limit.  I also took in an album for them to see lots of different ways I've done my pages so they could take ideas from there too. I was amazed at how quickly they took to it. There was one charming little boy who is now a champion flower maker. He took to it like a duck to water. I told him I'd have lots for him to do at my house anytime! LOL In the younger age group 4 - 6 they needed a little more help to do what they wanted but their ideas were so imaginitive. The little girl who was the shyest of the lot was the one with the most original finished product....
