I have to be honest and say that I have never been much of a fan of his style. I am more of a minimalist, clean cut kind of gal, and if you know Tim, his style is the farthest from minimal. After taking a class from him at CHA-S in 2011 I have started experimenting and playing more with his products.<br />

I was intrigued by the very nature of his class Creative Chemistry. This class is the what and why of a product as well as technique. And that is putting it mildly. This truly is a crash course in everything colorful and inky. I highly encourage you to check it out...and the price is extremely reasonable. <a href="http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/">Class Info</a>. Even though the class has already begun, you will have a lifetime access with your paid tuition. I'll be posting our "homework" in the next days to come.<br />

As many of you know, I have had some big changes and challenges in my life this past year. I want to thank all of you for your continued love and support this past year. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">The New Year brings new opportunities. A clean slate if you will. I am no stranger to making (and breaking) New Year's resolutions. This year, however, I have decided to follow through on those resolutions, not because they are "Resolutions" but because I have to follow my heart and the path that God has for me. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">That Scrappy Girl, at this time, is no longer a path I can continue to follow. I have struggled with this decision for some time and honestly I thought I had enough energy and passion to keep things going. It saddens me to say, that the business portion of That Scrappy Girl is just too much for me and I need to focus on other priorities in my life. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">I have been truly blessed to have met so many wonderful people along the way. I consider you all friends. I want to not only thank you, but all of my wonderful vendors who generously donated prizes for my crops and workshops. Please continue to support them. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">I will be reducing inventory with some upcoming sales, so please watch for those announcements and pass the word along. I will continue to post on this blog, but in a different capacity. I want to share my love of scrapbooking and want to have an avenue to express my creativity. I will no longer have a design team, website or crops. I have committed to some local crops as a vendor and I intend to honor those commitments. I will be officially closing the business on March 15, 2012 which signifies That Scrappy Girl's 4th birthday.</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">I hope 2012 brings you all the joy and peace your heart desires.</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br />

It's was tough to figure out, because I wanted to use Tim Holtz inks, but they don't stick to a pre-primed canvas. So first you have to paint it with acrylic paints. I used painters tape to block off the areas, painted with acrylics and then I could ink with TH inks. I also used Rangers color wash, Maya Mist and Glimmer mist. I cut an "a" from my circut and used the negative space. I taped it down with painters tape after I had all my color done. Then I sprayed the "a" with glimmer mist. let it dry over night. In the morning I taped down the "a" itself and cleaned up any edges I need to. It was really fun and I felt like a real Artist. It turned out better then I thought.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003021470474794398.post-29066254356163519682011-08-25T09:00:00.001-06:002011-08-25T09:00:03.699-06:00Look to the world around you for inspirationWhen I scrapbook I like to look to the world around me, and like many, I've been addicted to Pinterest lately. That addiction inspired me to create a vintage style page with a corkboard "pinned" with photos of some favorite finds taken during a few junkin' adventures. I also love the idea of "diamonds and denim" and wanted to mix textures that were blingy and fabulous, with other embellishments that had more of a simple everyday feeling. With all of that in mind I set out to create this page.<br />

What does Mixed Media mean to you? Each person has their own interpretation of mixed media and the great aspect is that there are NO RULES. Art is in the eye of the beholder and Mixed Media is no different. <br />
Mixed Media was this year's CHA summer show theme. CHA and acting president Tony Lee are encouraging the craft and hobby industry to "expand their vision."<br />
<br />
By combining different materials in unique ways, crafters can be especially creative and achieve dramatic, non-traditional results" says Lee. He continued to say that "Mixed Media is more than a fad, but represents a shift in how younger craft enthusiasts are expressing their creativity."<br />
<br />
Exhibitors specializing in Mixed Media were present at the show and none to eager to show off all of the amazing projects that can be created with their products. Here are some pics of a few projects I saw:<br />

Introducing the Silhouette Cameo!As most of you know I just returned from the CHA Summer show. We had a wonderful time and have come back more inspired, it's hard to express.<br />

For all of your Silhouette lovers or if you have been on the fence about buying a die-cutting machine, your wait is over. The hit of the CHAS show hands down was <a href="http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/">Silhouette America's</a> introduction of the Cameo:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguIdu_m5imIC6wB3fMchGyPzqOV0-R_i-lAZbsbf_5XqEQ1q_RyN-J0swnwS_MkOn52u5vjOLxxUrvfZTTHh4DZAoBkgEYt2YvMi6G1S4swKlxopTZI2tEDwjcomZdF__409PrpiPNIBw/s1600/222498_2272618818823_1349220393_2684322_1981870_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguIdu_m5imIC6wB3fMchGyPzqOV0-R_i-lAZbsbf_5XqEQ1q_RyN-J0swnwS_MkOn52u5vjOLxxUrvfZTTHh4DZAoBkgEYt2YvMi6G1S4swKlxopTZI2tEDwjcomZdF__409PrpiPNIBw/s320/222498_2272618818823_1349220393_2684322_1981870_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The Silhouette Cameo is "an electronic cutting tool that connects to your home computer just like a printer. However, rather than printing images, the Silhouette cuts out designs and text"<br />
<br />
According to the Silhouette America sales guru TJ, the new Cameo is expected to be out mid October. Pre-Sales order will be available during the month of September. The MSRP for the new Cameo is $299.<br />
<br />
So, want more deets?<br />
The Silhouette cuts a variety of media, and the new cutting blade which is expected to be released with the Cameo will cut CARDBOARD! WooHoo! The blade is still in production, but the team is hoping it will be included with the new machine. Keeping our fingers crossed!<br />
<br />
More BIG NEWS! The new Cameo will cut designs and texts from 1/4" to 12" wide and 10' long. AMAZING!<br />
<br />
The Silhouette Cameo will have the same features as the Silhouette SD, but get this...it's QUIETER! Not only that, the cut is more precise and more exact! I was an eye-witness and just LOVE IT!<br />
<br />
Also released at CHA: Fabric Ink Starter Kit, Vinyl Starter Kit, Rhinestone Starter Kit and Heat Transfer Starter Kit...So fun, the ideas are just endless. <br />

So stayed tuned for pre-sale offers available sometime in September. I think the Silhouette America team are top notch and would make a great addition to the That Scrappy Girl store. Keep tuned for pre-sale offers coming in September. Here is some more eye candy:<br />

No, it's not Christmas in July, but it certainly seems like it with all of the great new products being released at CHA (the scrapbooking industry trade show) this week. I'm totally bummed that I couldn't make it to the show itself, but that certainly hasn't kept me from pouring over sneak peeks from all of my favorite manufacturers.<br />
<br />
Here's my list of gotta have items:<br />
<br />
1. October Afternoon's new lines: Sasparilla, Sidewalk, and Farm House.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://octoberafternoon.typepad.com/.a/6a0105367e9704970b01538fd3139b970b-pi" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="http://octoberafternoon.typepad.com/.a/6a0105367e9704970b01538fd3139b970b-pi" t$="true" width="200" /></a><a href="http://octoberafternoon.typepad.com/.a/6a0105367e9704970b014e89d39b4e970d-pi" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="163" src="http://octoberafternoon.typepad.com/.a/6a0105367e9704970b014e89d39b4e970d-pi" t$="true" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://octoberafternoon.typepad.com/.a/6a0105367e9704970b014e89ccb005970d-pi" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="http://octoberafternoon.typepad.com/.a/6a0105367e9704970b014e89ccb005970d-pi" t$="true" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I had joined in on a color challenge, and was really struggling with the colors given to me they were "cement","Chamois Brown","Mint Green" and charcoal.<br />
I was like HMMMM what the heck am I going to make with this?<br />
So after struggling with several things that I wasnt likeing, I finally decided to go for a "steampunk" sort of look. Now this is my first steampunk page, so I am not sure if I captured it right, but I like the overall design. I started with some embossed cardstock from artsylicious, rubbed on some copper ink, then a black cardstock and started to randomly stamp with ivy brilliance ink using the stamps from marah johnson by unity both the "art and soul"and "breathless". I also used some versamark ink and perfect pearls, and silver embossing powders on the background. I layered on some black lace and cut the dressform and wings with my wishblade,I used some rub-ons from heidi grace, and some watch parts from ranger and all of the other embellies I made with my melting pot,Utee and embossing powder.<br />
the hidden journaling reads,, ""some days are hard, your thought run away with you and you feel sad and defeated. stay strong sweet girl, for the good days greatly out number the bad, try to think "no more bad days, stay strong" and it will pass,you will be happy, I promise!"<br />

</div>To create the grass<br />
-Cut along the edge with the Martha Stewart scissors.<br />
-To make the finer blades of glass, space your cuts half of the normal distance of the scissors.<br />
-Once you've made your away along the length of the strip, use regular scissors to vary the ends of the blade lengths. (I would describe cutting technique used as similar to how you would cut your bangs if you didn't want them blunt cut.)<br />

Just playing around, dancing and twirling in the outdoor sun. Maddie brings these bright colors alive. I just love Echo Park. The designs are so bright and fun. I enjoy putting foam squares under the stickers to help them pop from the page, like the banner stickers. Cutting just a simple circle from such bright and colorful patterns add a lot of design to your page. I added buttons to the centers of the flower stickers to give them dimensions and used the letters in the kit to cover a label with maddie's name .Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003021470474794398.post-78003457987719042252011-06-27T20:57:00.000-06:002011-06-27T20:57:58.456-06:00Mojo Monday! Crafting with Kids and Shimmerz Paints!Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a scrappin' fun weekend. So we're in full swing for summer and it's been a little rainy here in Des Moines. So, I decided to get some paint out and let the kids have some fun. Here's what they came up with...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcUwdJXTqUet3xdw94pgk0WceuahI_8g5vd_WMqnLuPZA-5BAW5QReDYDbJWq1895bnrTcfPbicxC_Beo4kJfpNsPvsfMSem72YNIXGeJZZBRtudlhrsrmh7qsh88Gq_OqRHf7UoDGWCo/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcUwdJXTqUet3xdw94pgk0WceuahI_8g5vd_WMqnLuPZA-5BAW5QReDYDbJWq1895bnrTcfPbicxC_Beo4kJfpNsPvsfMSem72YNIXGeJZZBRtudlhrsrmh7qsh88Gq_OqRHf7UoDGWCo/s320/009.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I received some samples from a company called Shimmerz Paints and W O W is this a FUN, FUN, FUN product line. I can't wait to see them at CHA...I'm thinking I need to place an order and let the creatitivity flow. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shimmerzpaints.com/">Shimmerz</a> <em>are premixed. No recipe, no mess. *They are rediculously shimmery. *They dry on glossy or non-porous surfaces, perfect for use on acetate or metal. *They are made in the USA. *70 Options Available: 39 Spectacular colors of Shimmerz, 11 Brilliant shades of Blingz, and 20 Fabulous Choices of Spritz! *They are non-toxic. *They are water-based</em>. <br />
<br />
Shimmerz also has a great channel on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/shimmerzpaintsTV">You Tube</a>. I scraplifted a layout from artist Lesley Langdon so I could get a feel of the product...Here's what I came up with:<br />

We live in the county so not sure who exactly was going to be strolling around the yard and need a drink! He was really bummed he hadn't had any customers, so after moving him into the shade, I offered him 50 cents for a cup. He said no Mom, it's only 25 cents - see the sign. (My son is very matter of fact) Then my daughter also had to get into the action with some microwave popcorn. The popcorn even came with some extra grass for additional flavoring. I also never told him he was false advertising since it was really water :-)</div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003021470474794398.post-38094772986518021032011-06-17T13:52:00.000-06:002011-06-17T13:52:49.502-06:00Featured Artist: Anna WesselinkHappy Friday!

That way if there were any little mojo-missing speedbumps along the way I could just absorb them and keep going. <br />
<br />
This is probably one of the greatest scrapbooking lessons my dear friend (and fellow design team member) Linda has taught me - there are no mistakes, just new creative turns in the road to completion. Yes, there were a few "bumps" as I went, but mostly I just kept working around them.<br />
<br />
For example, after I drew the line around the upper right corner of the photo, I decided that I really didn't like it. Instead of starting over or being unhappy with it, I decided to incorporate it into the page and use it as a place to ground my journaling. <br />
<br />
Here's my scrappy challenge to you this week: Embrace imperfection. :)<br />

I am excited to get started on the wedding album and share some of my creations with you. <br />
<br />
This week I wanted to share with you some of the decorations we made for my sisters wedding using supplies I purchased through That Scrappy Girl. My sister had the florist doing about half of the center pieces for the tables at the reception that were going to be more elaborate so we decided for the other tables we would just do something simple. Below are photos of glass cylinders that we put ribbon around and then glued on a circle (circles/polka dots were the theme) that was cut from the dotted swiss line and then embossed with their "M" monogram that we used throughout the wedding. Then around them we set just plain white votives. Very elegant and simple, yet worked well with everything else working in the room.<br />

I have been MIA for the past two months too, but mainly because of this thing we call "life" has gotten in the way! :) However, if this thing called "life" didn't get in my way once and a while I wouldn't have anything to scrapbook! For the past two months I have been running from one thing to the other which I know all of you can relate to. All good things, so I am not complaining, but it does feel better to get back to my normal at least!<br />
<br />
One of my younger sisters was married in May and so even though I have had more than a year to get things done for the big day, the past two months were getting ready for the wedding. (Next week I am planning on sharing with you all the cool things that I was able to made by using products from That Scrappy Girl for the wedding.) Below are just a few photos that I wanted to share with all of you from the big day.<br />

So as you can imagine I have a TON of photos to scrapbook from this wonderful day. However, I am so overwhelmed with where to begin. I need your help! Tell me how you stay on top of your scrapbooking - everyday events and then when you have BIG events happen that can use scrapbooks of their own?<br />
<br />
I would love to hear what you have to say!

So I decided to take an online class. How many of you own a SILHOUETTE machine? Well, I bought mine a few years ago (the original version). I hate to admit, but I hardly used the darn thing. So, to the internet I went and found a great gal and resource <a href="http://hydrangeahippo.blogspot.com/">Jennifer Priest</a>. She teaches online classes at <a href="http://www.mycreativeclassroom.com/">My Creative Classroom</a>. What a B L A S T!!!!<br />
The classes are great and it renewed my much needed spirit.<br />
<br />
I recently took a class called Off the Page using my Silhouette to create non-scrapbooking projects. Here are just a few things I created.<br />

You have probably noticed that I have been MIA for quite some time. I have to be honest with you friends...My personal life has gotten the best of me. I haven't been scrapbooking because of my M O O D. I have been a little down and sad and I haven't wanted to show that in my scrapbook pages.<br />
<br />
Luckily for me, I have great friends, goofy kids and enough projects in my head to get me back on track. Ultimately, what got me out of my FUNK was just to embrace and document what I was feeling. Having S U P E R cute paper from Jillibean Soup doesn't hurt either. So to embrace my M O O D, I decided to go BLUE...the C O L O R blue that is. <br />

I was reintroduced to the hobby in 2001 and became a full-fledged scrapbooking addict in 2005 when I started working at my local scrapbooking store. Today, I’ve expanded into all things paper crafting and often extend my supplies into home décor projects as well. I look to the world around me and the product I have to work with for my inspiration. I am a self-professed tool and technique junkie, and while I do design in a wide variety of styles, I tend to create clean and simple designs with hint of an <br />
understated elegance.</span><br />

It's all about swimming at our house right now. The kids are counting the days down until the town pool opens (4) and my daughter is on swim team..so she always spells of chlorine! This layout is about my son passing his Red Cross swimming lessons a couple years ago. He is very competitive and was worried he wouldn't pass. When he got the card he had passed, he was beaming! I used all kinds of goodies from the <a href="http://www.thatscrappygirl.com/category_156/Hometown-Summer.htm">Pink Paislee Hometown Summer collection</a>. My favorite thing in the entire collection are the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/Rubber%20Charms">Rubber Charms</a> (I used the boy and the sun on this layout). To add a little more dimension I cut a matching wave from the <a href="http://www.thatscrappygirl.com/item_1067/Neighboorhood-Pool.htm">Neighborhood Pool paper</a> and then used a bunch of <a href="http://www.thatscrappygirl.com/category_51/Pop-Dots.htm">pop dots</a> behind it. <br /><br />I've made some more projects with this collection, so look for them soon!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003021470474794398.post-51867771824467297902011-05-15T17:28:00.002-06:002011-05-15T17:35:01.377-06:00"Spotted owl soup"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKvCbyiRE4yoa5P6Ko0e9s9ks1x9rW9ENZvj5-YJeIuNifsIMIlO4npJMPJSZK7nPExj1Sr_-qPvGzNxtyd1ZwierWtcl8jFbFb0e6Zpmz1wOW9Yu6iAqRQatK2eRZ7X-3_Ep5JTteq0A/s1600/make+a+wish.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 319px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKvCbyiRE4yoa5P6Ko0e9s9ks1x9rW9ENZvj5-YJeIuNifsIMIlO4npJMPJSZK7nPExj1Sr_-qPvGzNxtyd1ZwierWtcl8jFbFb0e6Zpmz1wOW9Yu6iAqRQatK2eRZ7X-3_Ep5JTteq0A/s320/make+a+wish.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607090500262168114" /></a><br />I made this cute layout with the lovely Jilliebean soups' "spotted owl soup"<br />Jilliebean is always reliable for cute patternes that go with almost anything.<br />This sweet photo of my two awesome boys that share a birthday was perfect for this paper line.
