Tiny Journal

I love making journals. I also love using premade booklets to customize my own journals. Here is one using the wonderful Micas and digital images that
Mixed Meda Supplies carry.

 I start with a trip to the Dollar Store. You can purchase three of these mini journals for a dollar.

I used this digital image to use as an overlay on my project.

I used chalk paint to do my background. I then sprayed some glitter mist on it.

I used a mix of chalk paint and sealer to coat over my cut outs.

I love my little book and will share the clasp instructions at a later date. Thank you for visiting!

Part one of DragonFly Love!

Mixed Media Supplies has some dynamite digital images. You have the opportunity to manipulate them to fit your project. I decided to use the dragonfly image as a digital stamp and wanted to try my hand at designing a base image to be printed out and then used to create a real-time project later. So enter an open source paint program and Mixed Media's imagery! So out comes my tablet and I am playing away with my digi stamp!

I placed each dragonfly on their own layers. Then I colorized the image so I could use some if the color brushes.

I was so afraid to try this... I love it and can't wait to print it out and then add some wondeful paints and textures to this image!!

It is so nice to be able to save this and add to it. I will love showing your the finished project. See you later this month!

What a fun start!

Gift card box by Debi Tullier

I love making cool boxes for gift cards. I am away from my family so gift cards it usually is! So I make them special!

So if you have a snack cheese box you too can have some fun!

I started with painting a cheese box with some ivory acrylic painted over the lettering. I also have been saving up my baby wipes which are colored with beautiful inks. I knew that I was saving them for a wonderful project. 

After painting I used Tim Holtz's distress paint in Brushed Pewter to add texture to my box.  It has a dauber top and I dabbed it all over. I then cut the baby wipes in strips and then applied to the box with Aileen's tacky glue. I was ready for the bling effect. Thank goodness for the beautiful Metallic Mica Powder. It is wonderful for adding beautiful sparkle to any project.

I love adding the Mica powder and then I added pearl 3D paint to add some more sparkle.

This was a very simple project but I believe very elegant! Have a wonderful Christmas and I will see you the following week!
