Incase You Missed The Live With Prima Show...

Here is the video of last Thursday's Live With Prima show. I showed how you can alter the new Prima Mixed Media albums. I also shared how to use those mixed media skills on the inside of the album as well. I have been working on more interior pages tutorials to share with you, but computer glitches have pushed those back a tad :? I hope to have more videos on more art journal pages up very SOON!!! I apologize to the lovely ladies from my Stamping Details class for the delay!

Well here is the video :) Enjoy!!!

        

If you have any questions please fell free to ask. If you are just starting out in the Mixed Media style, don't be intimidated, you'll be surprised at how freeing it truly is :)

Easter Greetings

  It's Thursday and I still have at least four more days worth of work this week lol. It's that the way it goes though? I would like to share this Easter Card I did using Canvas Corp.'s New Easter papers. It is a 6x6 card with black and white checkered paper then I added a distressed piece of Lime green & white ribbon paper. I added black and white gesso to the card's layers to help add texture. I then layered a piece of orange and white dot distressed paper. I used jute and made a lasso background for my little fussy cut bunny and CC tag. The alphas are by Prima. 

 Happy Easter everyone. I hope you all have a safe and blessed weekend. Also I will not be doing my Live With Prima class tomorrow night I am rescheduled for the 19th of this month. SO sorry for the inconvenience but make sure to still check in to watch Sherry Mendoza, as she will be teaching you a really fun card technique.

Live With Prima Mini Album Class!!

Happy Friday everyone. It's a three day weekend and I'm hoping part of this weekend will consist of paint, canvas, and a glorious mess . Last night I had a Live With Prima class and I thought I'd share with ya. Help get those creative juices flowing. This is pretty structured for me and i apologize if the measurements are a little jumbled in the video. I hate measuring :P But here are the accurate measurements you will need if you would like to follow along with the video :D

Here are the measurements for last night's show:
2 pieces of white card stock,watercolor paper, or chipboard at 12"x6", 4 pieces of patterned paper at 12"x6"

Fold lines: On one piece of white crd stock fold at 1" in and again at 4" from the edge.That will give you 3" between the two score lines. On your other piece fold at 3" in and then at 4" in. this will give you a 1" between the two folds. Fold the pieces and then adhere the patterned paper on top of the crd stock.

On the binding of the inside. Accordion fold at a 1/2" you will want at least seven folds. You can add more if you like.

Hope you enjoy and have a artistic three day weekend.

Incase You Missed it Live With Prima

Hi I wanted to post the Ustream video here just incase you missed it. I will tell you to go ahead and skip into about min. six. I hit record a little too soon lol. I had so much fun making this Mini and showing how to incorporate mixed mediums into paper crafts. Hope you enjoy :)






Feel free to ask any questions. Always willing to answer. We got cut a little short on the crocheting so I am going to try and do a separate video here to cover more details on how to do it. :)

Fun Great News!!!

Hi everyone. I know it has been a LONG while since I have blogged. It has been insanely busy around here. I was lucky enough to go to CHA and spend the week seeing and meeting some amazing artists. Got to see a little bit of Chicago. Bought my Karls her first American Girl Doll. Wow it was fun but I think I slept for two days straight when I got home lol.

But anyways, I have a couple of pieces of exciting news. First this weekend, Karlie sang in her first singing competition and came in second place!! It was called The Ramona Idol. After weeks of auditions, they narrowed it down to twelve contestants. They all sang one song the first night. Karlie sang He's A Tramp from Lady and the Tramp. She made it through to the second night with seven other kids. She sang Walking After Midnight, by Patsy Cline and brought a couple family members to tears lol. Her and four other girls made it to the final round. They sang two songs in the last round. She sang Hot and Cold, by Katy Perry and Jar of Hearts by Christine Perry. Today they announced the winners!! I am so proud of her. She put all of her heart and soul into her songs.



And a second piece of happy news is that I will be a regular Educator on Live With Prima!!! I am so honored that they asked me to join such an awesome team!! Here is a sneak at my projects for the month. Some fun and easy techniques this month!! Hope to see you there!!




And....LOL I know when will it end ;) I have started a separate blog for my books. It would mean a lot if you would take a look. and spread the word to any of your friends who enjoy to read.

Hugs All and I hope you all have a wonderful week.
