Doing an image transfer is so easy with Lesley Riley‘s TAP. How easy? It’s even Carolyn proof! The directions even say “You cannot over-iron it!” They were right! My so very sad ironing skills were more than enough to make this work perfectly! This is a part of the TAP/StencilGirl blog hop so be sure to check [...]

I’m trying my hand at jewelry for the 4th Annual Handmade Holidays blog hop! There’s lots of inspiration so be sure to check it all out including the fabulous giveaway from the very generous sponsors!! If I’m making something, it usually involves a bit of color and this necklace is no exception! These may [...]
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 [...]
