~January ~ 
Shaving Cream Marblizing


Another year of fun techniques is waiting for you.

Don't worry if you think you missed a stop, I have listed the entire 
January hop later in the post.

**There will be a special prize waiting for one of you each month, so come back each month and check out the great ideas 
and leave a comment.**

 Now on with the projects:

Medium Used:  Dye based Re-Inkers

 I collected the Shaving Cream, cardstock and re-inkers and began to play..  At first I was a little worried as it did not look like it was going well..  So I picked out some coordinating cardstock colors and began to come up with a card idea.



 So when I first starting looking at this one with the Navy, Plum & white, I instantly thought of Mothers Day..  Could also make a really nice Birthday Card as well.  As you can see I chose the Mothers Day option.  


For the second one that had the Plum and Sea Glass colors I instantly thought of Valentines..  Our Sea Glass glitter paper added a nice bit of sparkle and Love the compliments from our Sugar Rush packs to quickly finish out the card.  


Tips and tricks to this technique and more about my projects will follow here on 
my blog next week

Are you a person who cringes thinking about the end of summer or do you love the crisp air, crunchy leaves and brilliant colors of fall?  Honestly, for me, if it's not winter in Michigan, I'm good with all of the three other seasons! Each season represents a fresh start and fall is usually the time of year when scrapbookers and stampers come back inside and start up their papercrafting again!  If that's you, here are some tips on how to prepare to begin again! 1.  Keep your crafting area clean! Easier said than done, right?  However, a couple of suggestions to help you at least do better in this area.   Start with the cleanest slate you can.   Take fifteen minutes a day, EVERY DAY,  and work on your room starting today.   You will be surprised how much progress you'll make with just a non-interrupted 15 minutes of focused work.   Do it now and you'll be clean by the first official day of fall.   To keep it clean, the moment you finish your l
