A random on purpose life: Upcoming Class at Miss Arts!

Faux Metal Tutorial

This was so much fun!!! My page titled The Journey (above this tut) features this faux metal. Here are the supplies you'll need...

How much do I love thee? Let me count the ways!! Isn't this flower adorable!? I ran across this tutorial on the web months ago and it has been rolling around my head ever since. It is so versatile making it perfect for every one one of your gorgeous creations. Let's go!

Calla Lily

I fell in love with this flower when I saw a video for it on the Heartfelt Creations website. So, if you don't want to read my tutorial you can click here to watch it over at HC. I did distress this up a little bit, which is not on the video. All right! Let's get started......

Faux Leather Tutorial

Making faux leather is easier than you think. I know, I say that about a lot of my tutorials. Have I been wrong? LOL...

Snowy Poinsettia

These flowers are just too cute! They are beyond easy to make too...BONUS!

Emerging Color Stamping Technique

Ok, I'll admit it...I really love stamping and the more I stamp the more I want to stamp. It's a wonderfully vicious circle. Emerging Color is one of those techniques that have some very basic and constant elements to it, but the creative license is all yours in how you present it. I'm sure if you Google or YouTube you will find a ton of tutorials and a lot of them will be very similar. Emerging Color boils down to this one word: resist. This is at its very core a resist technique. The whole trick to doing this is to remember that you will work in layers.

Upcoming Class at Miss Arts!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know about my upcoming class at Miss Arts Papercrafting School that will begin on 1/1/12.

It is a "201" class and it is called Lasting Impressions. I use a kit called Vinnie's Vignette to make a page layout and a card. The kit is available for sale at Miss Arts.

In this class I will show you how to do a number of techniques that I used on my page and card. This includes using molding paste on your page and embellishments, and making some of your own embellishments. Here are a few sneak peeks.
