Beautiful Place Canvas

Remember how I've talked about how into mixed media techniques my local scrapbook store is? Well, I tried my hand at another canvas for them. The only things Dala asked me to use were some Bo Bunny embellishments and the new(ish) Mod Podge molds, the rest was up to me. 


There's lots of tissue and modeling paste. I don't know what those gem things are but I got them for super cheap when Archivers was going out of business.


Here you can read the sentiment a little better, it's from a Donna Downey Unity Stamp. And check out that little pink frame! That's one of those Mod Podge molded shapes, I just painted over it. 


The creamy colored border here is another of the Mod Podge shapes in the original color. I love that the texture is so rich with these things! If you have no idea what I'm talking about - Mod Podge released a series of silicon molds that you use with their special glue sticks. You use a high temp glue gun and squeeze the glue into the mold. I've read about people using regular glue sticks with so so success (I'd definitely want to paint them if I did that!). This was my first time using them though so I didn't play around at that level, plus the molds were ones I'd borrowed from the store. Now that I have my own...

More exciting fun in my life - I'm a Paper Girl!

I'm pleased to announce that I'm now a part of the Paper Girls Challenge Blog. I've had so much fun in the year plus that they've been running their challenges that when I got asked to be part of the team I hardly hesitated.

For my first challenge with blog we're asking you to make your own stamp and link it back up on the blog.


I made a couple of cards using the bottom of an Elmer's Glue bottle as a stamp. After the first impression I realized that the shape resembled an eye and when the sentiment exactly fit in the space I knew it was meant to be!


Here's the other one, I like that the bottle made a really cool background stamp but also works as a frame all on it's own.
