Blog Hop with Nathalie Kalbach Stencils!!

Want to see a new stencil created by Nathalie Kalbach for StencilGirl Products? I have a project I created using her new "Whats The Point" stencil. Nat is having a little hop and if you take a look over on her blog you might find a little giveaway ;) She also said if you comment on each of our blogs it will give you another chance to win!! How awesome is that!! 

Here is a look at the stencil. This makes for a great pattern stencil or a great way to add accents. 

I used this fun stencil on this custom skateboard deck I painted. I used oil paints, Krink paint pens, and gesso to create this piece. I added soft spots of light with the stencil to give the painting an angelic feel. Thank you Nat for including me in this hop and giving me the opportunity to use your creative design. 

Now head over to the rest of the ladies joining in on the hop!!

Creative JUMPSTART Summit 2013!!!!!

Here we go again. After last year's success of Creative JumpStart Nathalie Kalbach  decided to organize it once again. We had about 4,500 subscribers join the Creative JumpStart in 2012. Everyone had a blast! So here is the information you will need: January is approaching--a month that is full of promises, resolutions, and good intentions. January is also a month where we need a breather from all of the family get togethers, holiday parties, and the stress of preparing for a new year. It’s also time to start creating again. But suddenly there it is, for some of us: that lost feeling on how to start. Here is the cure :) Nathalie invited a group of wonderful, inspiring and creative ladies and gentlemen from around the globe in the mixed media and scrapbooking world to join together for the Creative Jump Start Summit 2013. We are coming together to show you some ways to get back into the creative groove and how to get your creative juices flowing. We want to share with you "3 Ways to ..." help you jump-start your creativity in 2013. Let me show you who is participating:


                 

 Here’s what you will receive and how it all works:

• 1. Throughout January we will share videos showing tutorials to inspire you –
• 2. You will need to sign up for the Creative JumpStart 2013 newsletter HERE and in January, you will receive a daily link and password to unlock the view of the materials as soon as they go live
• 3. We will also have days where our Sponsors will have a giveaway for you!! On those days you will receive two newsletters. 
• 4. We hope you are inspired after watching the videos and take something away from it all...It's FREE so how could you go wrong. If you would like to donate to the project (to help offset some costs) - check it out here.

So come on—get inspiration from some of the most creative people in the community. What are you waiting for? (Did I mention it’s FREE?)
