Although I'm not into Halloween, each year I REALLY love creating an album using the annual <a href="http://g45papers.com/" target="_blank">Graphic 45</a> Halloween collection. This year just might be the best one yet -- the <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/products/steampunk-spells-category" target="_blank">Steampunk Spells</a> collection is AMAZING!<br />
<br />
This class will take place on Saturday, October 12, at <a href="http://www.weekendmemories.com/" target="_blank">Weekend Memories</a> in Leesburg, VA. I <b>love</b> teaching classes there -- the croppers (and owner) are so much fun!<br />
<br />
I can only give a sneak peek today, as I haven't taught the class yet. I'll post a picture of the cover soon <i>(it's still drying).</i><br />

I SO LOVE this Julie Nutting Doll Stamp! Heck, I love them all -- they are so darn cute! MUST HAVE THEM ALL!<br />
<br />
I created this piece for my blogpost on today's <a href="http://scrapsofcolorespire.blogspot.com/2013/08/friendship-day-mixed-media-canvas.html" target="_blank">Scraps of Color E:spire</a>. It was my first time using a 6" x 9" canvas and I must admit that I love working with this size canvas. Can't wait to get my hands on another one (I'm giddy with anticipation).<br />

I like the way her wings stick out the past the canvas. The supply list, a couple of tips, and another close up of this project are posted on today's <a href="http://scrapsofcolorespire.blogspot.com/2013/08/friendship-day-mixed-media-canvas.html" target="_blank">SOC blogpost</a>. </div>

So, that's what I decided to do.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At the Weekend Memories crop this past weekend I didn't teach any classes or spend a lot of time getting pictures printed or projects packed. Instead of stressing after a long, tiring week, I decided that I was going to spend my time at the crop doing something that I have loved since I was a child -- <b><span style="color: red;">C</span><span style="color: orange;">O</span><span style="color: #674ea7;">L</span><span style="color: lime;">O</span><span style="color: cyan;">R</span><span style="color: blue;">I</span><span style="color: purple;">N</span><span style="color: magenta;">G</span><span style="color: red;">!</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It had been so long since I'd colored anything. At first I was worried that I might be <b>really</b> rusty and someone would walk by and see how awful my blending or color combos would be. Then I got over it and printed out digital stamps from one of my favorite digital stamp illustrators, Krista at <a href="http://www.saturatedcanary.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Saturated Canary</a>.<br />
<br />
Then I grabbed my big girl crayons (<a href="http://store.copicmarker.com/pages/products-markers" target="_blank">Copic Markers</a>), my Daylight lamp, my Mac & headphones and headed to the crop to color.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh boy what fun I had! And it was so relaxing!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are a few of the things that I colored. First up is YoYo.</div>

In fact, there was one woman who <b>told</b> me that I <b>will</b> be teaching the class at the next crop. LOL! So, looks like I'll be teaching it again in <a href="http://weekendmemories.com/Schedule.html" target="_blank">July</a>. YEAH! I can't wait!</div>

Thank you to everyone who took my class. I so enjoyed getting messy with you!</div>

<br />
I've only done one other swap with that group and was really happy with the quality of workmanship. So I feel confident that the ones that I receive for this swap will be great.<br />
<br />
Here's what I made:<br />

If I were thinking, I would have taken a picture of one of them before I started (I made 5). I started out with a filled metal element from the <a href="http://www.susanlenartkazmer.net/ichic.htm" target="_blank">Industrial Chic</a> line by Susan Lenart Kazmer.</div>

In March I took a wonderful class, taught by Logan at Camp Crop-A-Lot, where we used the "<a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/she-was-a-daughter/" target="_blank">SHE was a daughter</a>" <a href="http://www.christytomlinson.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Christy Tomlinson</a> stamp made by <a href="http://unitystampco.com/" target="_blank">Unity Stamp Company</a>. I fell in love with it and had to get one for myself.<br />

<br />
Embedded on the dress of the stamp is "she was a daughter of God." But by utilizing the "<a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/box-word-set.html" target="_blank">Box Word Set</a>" by <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/" target="_blank">Rubbernecker Stamps</a> I was able to change the words to impart what I wanted to convey.<br />

It's time to get your crop on! For those of you (like me) that didn't make plans to celebrate National Scrapbook Day at a crop, do not despair. <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/" target="_blank">Big Picture Classes</a> is hosting an online <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/creativecrop.php" target="_blank">Creative Crop </a>for <b>FREE</b> today. <i>You can click <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/crop-online-with-creative-crop-on-national-scrapbook-day" target="_blank">here</a> to read the full story in an Examiner article that I wrote about it.</i></div>
<br />
I have a few things to do today that I committed to -- not putting the date and NSD together (or looking at my calendar), when I agreed. So, luckily, in the hours that I do not have places to be, I will be getting my crop on with the crazy talented instructors hosting Creative Crop!<br />
<br />
I love the fact that you can just jump in at the top of every hour...it totally fits with my sporadic schedule today. I'm looking forward to participating in the challenges, seeing everyone's creations, and maybe even winning a fab prize (if I'm lucky)!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!</span></b></i></div>

Well, I had one of those days yesterday and it was EPIC! I was literally at the end of my rope when a random act of kindness brought me to my knees.<br />
<br />
I was walking in a crowd when I felt a tug on my arm. Before I turned to look, I thought, "Geez, what now?!"<br />
<br />
Imagine my surprise when a very thoughtful lady said to me, <i>"I had to take my son to the store last night to get some things for his school project and I saw this and it made me think of you. I instantly thought of you and just had to get it!"</i><br />
<br />
Then she handed me the following:<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I almost started crying when she handed me this tin. The thought that she was out shopping with her child after a long day at work and thought of me...words cannot convey just how much that meant to me. I was truly not in a happy place and in an instant she reminded me that there was some sunshine in my forecast (because a stormy sky was all that I could see).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It goes to show that you may never realize just how much something that you may perceive as a small token can truly impact the life of another in a HUGE way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This tin now has a prominent place in my studio and will continue to serve as a reminder that there's sunshine, even on a stormy day. I have to focus on the "keep calm" and get back to crafting on!</div>

The first challenge of the evening was to create a Valentine tag and not use traditional colors -- red or pink. I thought I'd give it a shot and this is what I made:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know what you're thinking -- is that butterfly red? No, it's orange...I know how to follow the rules (most of the time)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was a lot of fun (and challenging) trying to create the tag in the time allotted. Let's just say I need to work on my time management skills. I wasn't even close to finishing in time, but I did have a great time and I plan to participate in FNC again soon. </div>

It was great hanging out and catching up with old friends and fun getting to know new ones. I always enjoy walking around and seeing what everyone is working on. People are so talented.<br />
<br />
Years ago when I'd come home from crops my son would ask, "How many pages did you make?" Just thinking about that makes me chuckle. Now he says, "Did you have a good time?" This always warms my heart.<br />
<br />
I am thankful that over the years he has learned that it's not about the quantity of what you create while you're at a crop, it's about the quality of the time that you get to spend with people that have the same passion that you have for creating. Priceless.<br />
<br />
So, you probably want to know what I created, right? That's not so easy to explain because I created a lot of elements.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Doesn't this look cool?! I cut chipboard from packaging using the Tim Holtz Weathered Clock die, then used Distress Inks and Distress Stains before using UTEE to emboss.<br />
<br />
Have a great week!<br />

Seriously, I thought the bronchitis was bad enough, but when I developed an upper respiratory infection -- geez! I just couldn't seem to shake that thing. I still have a little cough, but I can totally live with that.<br />
<br />
Enough about me. I thought I'd share this tutorial that I created for <a href="http://scrapnart.com/" target="_blank">Scrap 'n Art Magazine</a>. If you enjoy creating unique backgrounds then you'll love this Zip Dry Resist technique. The end results looks like it might be complicated, but it's both easy and fun to do. The hardest part is being patient while the glue dries.<br />
<br />
Supplies used:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiH5YmD1-Yzw1N_ta_B0cCXRlDRr6zRcGBWnGBf9MUCgfhAGbUfJOCJNRKx0GxEQartg6RVnp5dClTAQchFvHkuY0XGcJ4ZmMTHUIMvxJ9V87P-YeVR8ehgtrfAg4NZov9BtXQEex6ManM/s1600/MVStickyTutorial1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiH5YmD1-Yzw1N_ta_B0cCXRlDRr6zRcGBWnGBf9MUCgfhAGbUfJOCJNRKx0GxEQartg6RVnp5dClTAQchFvHkuY0XGcJ4ZmMTHUIMvxJ9V87P-YeVR8ehgtrfAg4NZov9BtXQEex6ManM/s1600/MVStickyTutorial1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
1. Squeeze Zip Dry up and down one side of white cardstock. Slightly smear the Zip Dry with your finger.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPAu0UO8UpNhRru3Y1HWwYx7fWDLCV4lTZN3-_6C3w9zjLoCp3kDcM7GtzPklIgBXUYnYrQzf-EBltMIDHZzeADp4s3bwmd0A5graKBVqjZTZSauxEq81fwCI00tQkiNJsf-y0FP0LZRi/s1600/MVStickyTutorial2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPAu0UO8UpNhRru3Y1HWwYx7fWDLCV4lTZN3-_6C3w9zjLoCp3kDcM7GtzPklIgBXUYnYrQzf-EBltMIDHZzeADp4s3bwmd0A5graKBVqjZTZSauxEq81fwCI00tQkiNJsf-y0FP0LZRi/s1600/MVStickyTutorial2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2. Let it dry completely before moving to the next step. <i>(Resist the temptation to use a heat gun.)</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK0hpZREAH6z6hwRxJxbdLjbj12hSx93onosSJXqda7PY0mN0oDyTHIdDeUipahe5eylulm1O9S5QYUdwnoz5dUPeIYQSx3-jFn_FFMb5qy2IGGQKubWXht4T2u6ul0zt_uE5NflAmihyB/s1600/MVStickyTutorial3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK0hpZREAH6z6hwRxJxbdLjbj12hSx93onosSJXqda7PY0mN0oDyTHIdDeUipahe5eylulm1O9S5QYUdwnoz5dUPeIYQSx3-jFn_FFMb5qy2IGGQKubWXht4T2u6ul0zt_uE5NflAmihyB/s1600/MVStickyTutorial3.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
3. When glue is dry, use blending tool to rub ink (I used Ranger Archival Ink - Saffron) onto white cardstock. A non-stick craft sheet is helpful for this step, as it makes it easier to blend in circular motions onto the cardstock.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn5H1JjVxO9R6Fl_uy3ul4KR7Ch7obKoIo0UeU1kMhlkTI5TpX263ge13tf0mm2Ws3adYC6A1HLcEVuOrcgHXMx9Qo59v4srAR29U73YrrV4V7RON4qmwlWv2OxbSoZOCPn7P2IZ0mfd7W/s1600/MVStickyTutorial4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn5H1JjVxO9R6Fl_uy3ul4KR7Ch7obKoIo0UeU1kMhlkTI5TpX263ge13tf0mm2Ws3adYC6A1HLcEVuOrcgHXMx9Qo59v4srAR29U73YrrV4V7RON4qmwlWv2OxbSoZOCPn7P2IZ0mfd7W/s1600/MVStickyTutorial4.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
4. Repeat this step until the card is completely covered with ink. Use a cloth or paper towel to wipe ink from dried Zip Dry.<br />

Well look no further because I have <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/scrapbooking-crops-and-retreats-md-pa-va-and-wv?cid=db_articles" target="_blank">published a list</a>!<br />
<br />
I <b>LOVE</b> to go to crops because I enjoy catching up with old friends, meeting new friends, looking at people's projects and, when I have the opportunity, I enjoy teaching classes at crops.<br />
<br />
You don't always have to do traditional scrapbooking at crops. Many people make cards, knit, digital scrapbook, work on art journals, make jewelry, create canvas art.... The possibilities are endless when you have dedicated time and space to work on your projects.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite crops is <a href="http://www.weekendmemories.com/" target="_blank">Weekend Memories</a>. Everyone always has a great time, mostly due to the atmosphere created by the owner, Mirella Arroyo.<br />

I did something different at December's crop. Thanks to my good friend Kaye, I spent my time downloading digital stamps and coloring the images with my <a href="http://store.copicmarker.com/pages/overview-sketch-markers" target="_blank">Copic Markers</a>.<br />

It truly is a new beginning for me both personally and creatively. But before I go on, I want to give a big THANK YOU and shout out to blog designer extraordinaire Madeline Mele, Owner of <a href="http://www.theshabbyvanity.com/" target="_blank">The Shabby Vanity</a>. Working with Madeline has been an absolute joy and I am thrilled to pieces at all that she has created for me.<br />
<br />
For those of you that follow my blog, you may have noticed that all of the blog posts from my old blog are not archived on this blog. This is because I truly want to have a fresh start -- a new beginning. But don't worry, I will post some of the projects that I created in the gallery.<br />
<br />
Thank you to my family, friends and fellow crafters who have been there for me this past year while I muddled through my illness. I am so glad to be feeling better and I am thrilled to get back to writing and creating again!<br />
