A plain brown bag? Never as long as I have stencils and paint. Just some quick stenciling to transform these grocery store lunch sacks into gift bags. When I say quick, I do mean quick. Sloppy, messy, and fast. In the video, I employ some of my favorite skills such as not lining anything [...]

There’s no spell check in art. Once you paint a word there aren’t any squiggly red lines alerting you to a misspelling. Or a quick delete button to fix it. So what did I do when I had a typo? Nothing. It’s just an Oops. Well, I did laugh at myself…I have always been a [...]
There is free stuff all around that is just begging to be used on the Gelli Plate! A recent stay in a hotel room provided me lots of free goodies that I thought would be cool to use on the Gelli Plate! So, for this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party I decided to bring it all home [...]
Putting some shimmer with some flat matte color today for the Clearsnap and StencilGirl blog hop as I create and color a stencil resist! Be on the lookout for one of my weird personal quirks as you watch the video. I didn’t even realize it until I went back to do the voiceover. [...]
Turning this Gelli print in to a card was supposed to be a quick and easy. Then there was an Oops thanks to my handwriting. Then another. That probably doesn’t surprise you one bit. I make all sorts of mistakes, I mean Oopsies, as I play. It didn’t go as planned but every Oops was [...]
This isn’t my brightest logic. I’ve got a huge box of Mrs. Grossman stickers that I love from my avid scrapbooking days. Love them so much I don’t use them. That is all changing thanks to this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party! I am facing that not so logical logic and getting those stickers to use on [...]
Where’s the rainbow? Where’s the lime green or hot pink? Not in this post! It is all neutrals as I use some UTEE and molds from Kari McKnight Holbrook to make some easy charms. Disclaimer: I am not a jewelry master, so feel free to laugh at my clumsy wire wrapping for making the loops in [...]
I wanted a tall tree with full branches of wonderful leaves in my art journal. But I didn’t have that- or did I? I made some surgical “adjustments” to the Branching Blossoms stencil to get the look I was after. I used scissors and the very fancy tool called an index card. Why did I [...]
It was a conspiracy. I’m not making this up. I am not crazy. It was a total conspiracy from my muse to get me playing. She wanted me away from the computer screen with a jumbo to-do list and into the paints! When I saw the challenge over at Art Journal Journey, I just couldn’t stop [...]
Did you know you can put stickers on a Gelli Plate? For this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party it’s all about stickers, shimmering paints, and circles! I don’t waste a drop of paint- especially this incredible paint (can you tell I am in love?). In the video, you’ll see how I add [...]
