Hi, I'm Christie. Welcome to my blog and my studio. I'm thrilled to take a part in this fantastic collection of artists from around the world. I want to take a moment to thank Karen from My Desert Cottage for putting together this event. I would love to hear any input you may have. I know you have lots of creative spaces to visit so please do not be shy to follow, pin or subscribe (whatever suits your fancy) so you can come on back at your leisure. I have plenty of organization tips, tricks and videos to make those projects easier to manage. I began my love for all things created by hand when I was a child and have never ceased. Enjoy!<br />

My room began as a bedroom 17 years ago and evolved into the room you see today. My studio was originally published in 2010 which you can see <a href="http://creationsbychristie.blogspot.com/2010/04/tour-my-craft-room.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and video tour <a href="http://creationsbychristie.blogspot.com/2010/06/scrapbook-studio-tour.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. As does everything, my studio also has evolved over time. It recently was featured in the Summer 2013 issue of Paper Cloth Scissors <a href="http://creationsbychristie.blogspot.com/2013/07/featured-in-studios-magazine.html" target="_blank">Studio magazine</a>. My needs are ever changing and so I have adapted some changes to my studio. One example of this change was is that I decided to remove my thread racks from the north wall. Although they were a beautiful splash of color, I felt that the air, humidity and my other art supplies were not doing them any good and decided that they would be better stored in a closet. I am now better utilizing that space by creating one area for all of my "messy" artwork. i.e. paints, inks, etc. Everything is within reach and able to be quickly cleaned up. <br />
<br />
My studio is not big, only 13' X 15'. I made the most of every inch with the custom made cabinets purchased at Home Depot, they are <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">KraftMaid</span> brand topped with the beautiful granite counter tops. Can you find my mini fridge? It blends in seamlessly with the cabinets and is stocked with water bottles to keep me hydrated while I work. I also love my big <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Wacom</span> monitor and my LCD TV that when I am facing away from it reflects in the mirror across the room so I can still watch what's going on. Clever, huh? Since most of the walls were going to be covered with cabinets and windows I decided to add texture and interest by adding wallpaper to the ceiling (you can see this in the <a href="http://creationsbychristie.blogspot.com/2010/06/scrapbook-studio-tour.html" target="_blank">video</a>). It is a textured wallpaper and we painted it white, it looks like a pressed tin ceiling. My handy father & husband helped install the cabinets and the crown molding and I made the curtains. Voila! <br />

I try hard to keep my work spaces clear but that is not always possible with never ending projects. I have adopted a project bin system to keep myself organized while multitasking. You can find the post explaining more <a href="http://creationsbychristie.blogspot.com/2013/02/project-bins.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Addie has become quite the helper but has decided that my project bins also make quite the nice bed at times. </div>

To the right of the door I have a few shelves that I added after we designed the room I store all my paints on the shelves and I have drawers that I got at <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10025107&N=&Nao=50&Ntt=bin" target="_blank"><span style="color: #7bc1ea;">Container Store</span></a> that I keep all my chipboard alphabet letter in. It makes it very easy to find just what I am looking for. The cabinet just to the left of this is a pull down ironing board (you can see this in a earlier blog post on altered clipboards). Underneath I keep a roll of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">paper towels</span> for quick clean ups along with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">baby wipes</span>.</div>

Here's a basic layout of my studio with some of the dimensions. I have 4 stations that I am able to sit even though I do not have 4 chairs in the room at one time. I use 2 simple desk chairs, one on either side of the room that serve 2 stations. I keep the sewing machines and serger under the desk area when not in use and just pull them out when needed. </div>

You can find it at any book stores like Barnes and Noble or at craft stores such as Hobby Lobby, Michaels or JoAnns Fabrics.

While I was on the <a href="http://www.paperclipping.com/prt148-literally-an-accident/" target="_blank">Paperclipping Roundtable</a> show the subject of how we keep our workspace from getting over run with mess while working on projects. I, like many of you, work on muliple projects at a time so I had to come up with a way to contain the clutter.<br />
<br />
I picked up a dozen black <a href="http://www.dollartree.com/kitchen-cleaning/kitchen-cleaning/Plastic-Dish-Pans-8-qt-/703c703c703p331108/index.pro?method=search" target="_blank">dish pans</a> from the dollar store quite a while back. I use them constantly! These cheap dish pans or "bins" as I call them, are probably the most efficient way I get things done in my studio. I love being able to contain a project per bin. They seem to be the perfect size, 13.5" X 11" X 4.5" H, I can even prop a full size layout in it to dry or to work on later. As I am often working on multiple projects at once with these I can grab a bin work on that project, set it aside and work on another. Beside bins with projects I usually have a bin with busy work for me to work on during tv time. To keep my counters clear I keep a bin handy, usually in the middle of my room, to toss items in that I think I may be done with and need to put away. I then can take my bin around and put things back where they go at the end quickly and easily. And on a bright and sunny day I will take a bin full of stuff outside to work on. And as you can see Addie thinks that they make the perfect cat bed.<br />

This shows how easily these cheap tubs stack together. On the left I have 4 tubs stacked together and on the right is one. You can see that they take up minimal room when stacked. I have about a dozen of them but rarely are all put to use at the same time. <br />

The eBosser comes with all the plates you will need plus 3 large embossing folders. Two of them are designed for cards, the third is a all over pattern as seen in the photos below. This folder is beautiful! I couldn't decide which side was my favorite. Both were equally awesome! The pattern was well embossed on it's own but I complimented it further by adding a light coat of Distress Ink in Vintage Photo to the top of the embossed pattern. </div>

The eBosser does not come with any die cuts but it does support most of the existing die cut brands so I wanted to see exactly what it could do. Since I have most brands already I ran everything I had through it. Watch the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiNvE1yNpL0&feature=share&list=UUhFI8ZDEGx3senG-0O4zetA" target="_blank">video</a> to see my full review. For the Sizzix Alterations die I tried adhesive backed felt and grunge board successfully and beautifully. Unfortunately the thin fun foam was too thick to go through the machine. The good thing about the eBosser is the safety feature that it will let you know what will and will not work in the machine. </div>

I was also able to fill the plate with a bunch of scalloped octagons from Spellbinders. Cutting them all at once out of felt. Great way to save time. Lifestyle crafts and Spellbinders both have lots of stacking thin dies for frames and shapes. </div>

The eBosser will also accept some of the Accuquilt Go dies. I bought a Accuquilt die cut machine and it sits in my attic gathering dust. Why, because it's a hand crank machine that takes too much muscle power that I just don't have. I was thrilled to see that some of my dies can be used in the eBosser.<br />

These thin dies like the Sizzix Alteration Tattered Floral Garland is the same thickness as most Cuttlebug dies. Although I had to pop the images out of the paper, the cuts were clean and I was really thrilled I could cut an entire Cuttlebug alphabet in one pass.<br />

I wanted to share with you an easy project to transform those boring and ugly office clipboards into something really fantastic! You may remember I posted a while back a few clipboards that I altered to hang inside my ironing board cabinet. You can see the post <a href="http://creationsbychristie.blogspot.com/2010/04/altered-clipboards.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Well, these are done in a totally different way, with a totally different style. I love the old timey look of them. </div>

These clipboards are easily found at garage sales and thrift stores for under a dollar. The best part is since you are covering it it doesn't really matter if it's in bad condition. You will see that in the video. The Tim Holtz Idea-ology Melange Tissue wrap was perfect for this project. I love the collage effect that the paper has built into it with the beautiful butterflies, text, music and architecture. If you are interested in another project using the Idea-ology tissue wrap check out my <a href="http://creationsbychristie.blogspot.com/2012/01/organizing-my-movers-shapers.html" target="_blank">Magnet Board idea.</a> <br />

The clip on top got a make over too with some Alcohol Ink and some awesome metal embellishments that I also attached with the Matte Multi Medium. <br />

<br />
Since I used legal size clipboards I had a few inches at the bottom extra after the paper was attached. I tied on some twine and added a few adornments to make my creative soul happy. Now I have a place to tuck in a business card or a few loose notes and leave my writing surface free of clutter.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've always had a thing for Stickles but when once I got my hands on the new Dry Stickles it went to a whole new level. I created a video for you to show you just how easy it was to create my own custom color palette using the fabulous Distress Stickles Dry Glitter and Adirondack Alcohol Inks. I am In LOVE~ </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a few differences between the Distress Stickles Dry Glitter</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and the regular Stickles Dry Fine Glitter.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Distress Glitter comes in just one color (clear Rock Candy) but don't let that stop you, with the help of my video tutorial you can create a multitude of colors for your projects. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Distress glitter has variegated glitter sizes</span></div>

One of my favorite things, as you will see in the video, is you can make several shades of the same color glitter! The ones below I created in 3 shades of Eggplant by adding more or less of the Adirondack alcohol ink to each little container of Dry Distress Glitter. The stripes were made by using Wonder Tape. Love It!!!</div>

<span class="fn"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My best friend Julie, is almost due to have her baby. I was more than happy to help in the preparations of her baby shower. Since her nursery is going to be a woodland theme I thought it would be appropriate to incorporate that into the decorations of the shower. I created the favors, centerpieces, a banner, wishing tree and a few other surprises I will share with you in my next few posts. Enjoy!</span></span><br />

<span class="fn"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I created the birdhouses from plain birdhouses I found at my local craft stores. Each birdhouse was uniquely decorated. I used my Ranger paint dabbers to paint the houses. Each house was decorated with it's own combination of decorative papers. Most got additional details added with paint, die cuts, embellishments, etc. I then used a strong epoxy to attach them to a candlestick I painted to match.</span></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="fn"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The woodland animals I cut from the Cricut cartridge Give A Hoot. Our area was hit hard with storms and I was able to use some fallen trees for the pedestals for my creations. My wonderful Dad help me cut the wood into the sizes that I wanted and then I used some heavy adhesive to attach the top to the bottom. A few pine cones and other nature elements added to the centerpiece. </span></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="fn"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Because I wanted the centerpieces to look great no matter where you were sitting at the table I added mason jars filled with flowers and greens. Not just ordinary mason jars though, I painted these with the delicious colors from my Ranger Paint Dabbers. I simply poured a little into the jar added a little water and used a brush to coat the sides and bottom. The outside of the jars remained the beautiful shiny glass but showed the gorgeous color that coordinated with the decor. Lovely!</span></span></div>

CHA summer is back at Rosemont and I couldn't be happier to be here. I'm looking forward to lots of classes. Seeing all the great products for the season. I will be taking lots of photos and video to share with you all! <br />
<br />
<br />
Even though My husband Tim and I live here in Chicagoland we never actually get downtown. So we decided to take a mini vacation and spent the past 4 days in downtown Chicago acting like tourists. We stayed at the Palmer House Hotel, and since they are pet friendly we brought Addie and Jack. We were just a few blocks from Millennium Park and the Art Institute Museum. We also went to Navy Pier, took in an architectural boat tour, windy tall ship, Shedd Aquarium, Water Tower Place and lots more. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrW3icfWJDe4chaI6Om0bNi05KTZLt3U0Mx6CZv6ByniXlp-btp2JZ6ruvAcBPQY6TU6Yb7Fj4iQ9gM2fs1ta2lTZsB985MPQWekeQGtIkMtKbM6cDBs0EAN9HsW8gI-Xj0H-d9C1CfEt5/s640/blogger-image--543869761.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrW3icfWJDe4chaI6Om0bNi05KTZLt3U0Mx6CZv6ByniXlp-btp2JZ6ruvAcBPQY6TU6Yb7Fj4iQ9gM2fs1ta2lTZsB985MPQWekeQGtIkMtKbM6cDBs0EAN9HsW8gI-Xj0H-d9C1CfEt5/s640/blogger-image--543869761.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09963858749697329937noreply@blogger.com8Rosemont Rosemont41.980693 -87.860914tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-9341987875114199162012-07-06T13:46:00.000-05:002013-01-31T14:12:36.964-06:00Game On Configuration Boxes<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii5_48htMv3GWZUD3qmnDXBoMDd_-LVjcPZsEnweCeL-sxva54DBNcNFMdzxieau-QZfNwZpylV_hhcOXUHpRKsCgbyqpKLW7fn5kG6AsgWrD2iO4Y7kyhWfbFc7zFCvVGlVzPLKx5Um9r/s1600/ALL.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573925226641728130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii5_48htMv3GWZUD3qmnDXBoMDd_-LVjcPZsEnweCeL-sxva54DBNcNFMdzxieau-QZfNwZpylV_hhcOXUHpRKsCgbyqpKLW7fn5kG6AsgWrD2iO4Y7kyhWfbFc7zFCvVGlVzPLKx5Um9r/s640/ALL.JPG" style="display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 266px;" width="425" /></a>I am working my way through Tim Holtz's amazing Compendium Of Curiousities vol. 2 book. I'm sure you've heard me talk about fabulous, Linda, over at Studio L3 who is hosting the Compendium of Curiousties challenge. This weeks challenge is all about configuration boxes. These were made for our vintage insprired game room. <br />

This is the latest one that I did. It is the top right box. I love the little whistle that I hung just below the lid. I used 3 marbles as "balls" for the boy that is actually a game piece to be kicking. And I just love the mini Cootie. Those of us that are old enough to remember when Little People weren't a "choking hazard" have fond memories of these little guys. The green hand came from the game Mouse Trap and there are some game parts from Clue in the box next to that. I love the old wooden game markers so I put some of them in another box. Like the others that I designed I flipped a couple of them over to place ads and pictures. This one I did the same. I used two small square boxes to place the playing card ad on and the other I put this cute bicycle riding monkey. So fun and quirky.</div>

I had so much fun making and working with my Perfect Palette that it has inspired me to create one out of Alcohol Inks. I absolutely love, Love, LOVE my alcohol inks and the more ways that I can use them the better! I have a lot of pictures posted but also created a video so you can easily follow along as I create my palette. At the end of the tutorial I have some pictures and links of projects I have made with Alcohol Inks along with a new one that you may like to follow along and make for yourself. ENJOY!<br />

The Ranger Palette is great by providing 36 nice deep wells for your inks. I started off by picking out the colors that I wanted for my palette and how I wanted them arranged. <br />

My Dymo label maker came in handy...again for labeling the lid of my palette. I use the extra small size so that I can make sure that the lettering can all fit in the space and not be cramped. </div>

After everything was filled I set aside to let it dry. It should be ready to use in a half hour to an hour but it you are impatient you can always use a heat gut to speed things along. Now you are ready to make magic. Use your Alcohol Ink Fillable Pen to do some creating. </div>

I wanted to introduce you to our two newest family members, Addie and Jack. After losing our 2 cats of 14 years so suddenly I thought I could never get another cat. But how wrong I was. After letting my heart heal for a month I found I missed the antics and snuggles that kitties bring into our lives. My husband and I cancelled a few of our trips that we had planned for this summer and on Memorial day weekend adopted lil' Jack and his sister Addie. At 7 1/2 weeks old they were full of energy and into everything. We had forgotten how much energy and entertainment little kittens are. They are never going to replace Maui & Indy in our hearts, my heart is big enough for them all. <br />

Jack and Addie are the most lovable brother and sister ever. Addie is way more outgoing and has been much easier to socialize than Jack. Even though neither of the kitties could stand to be held when we first got them, after a lot of work, Addie now loves to be held and cuddled. When we get home she is the first to run down and greet us. Jack is more of a princess (even though he is the boy) LOL. He cries after the vet visits, if he can't find his sister he freaks out, he's timid and can't stand being held. He is the sweetest, most loveable kitty with us and and shows how affectionate he is by constantly taking care of his sister Addie. When they are napping he always has a arm wrapped around her and loves to groom her. It is just too sweet. They both just adores my Grandson Kyler. They play with each others toys, too cute. Addie has already decided to be my new assistant as you can see in my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViygFP_ffd0&list=UUhFI8ZDEGx3senG-0O4zetA&index=1&feature=plcp" target="_blank">Create your Perfect Palette Video</a>. </div>

I have worked with Perfect Pearls in the past and as you all know I am a fan! One of the fan favorite posts of all time is my <a href="http://creationsbychristie.blogspot.com/2010/05/make-your-own-glimmer-mists.html" target="_blank">Perfect Pearl mists</a>. And back by popular demand here is the list of my <a href="http://www.4shared.com/document/2DmtOc3K/_2__shimmer_mists_Combinations.html" target="_blank">Perfect Pearl Mist combos</a> that I used. <br />
<br />
Today I am going to do something a little different with the Perfect Pearls. I want to create a Perfect Palette. Tim Holtz along with Ranger has the perfect ink palette tray for this project. It has 36 compartments and a hinged lid.<br />

<br />
First, I layed out all of my Perfect Pearl colors and organized how I wanted them in my palette.<br />
***Here's a Christie Tipsi - Ranger has changed the label on the Perfect Pearl jars. The newer ones are shown below on the right compared the the older model on the left. The older ones the label is to be on the bottom (towards the table when you open the top). The new labeling states "this side up" having the larger Perfect Pearl logo on top (towards the ceiling). <br />

<br />
I used my Dymo labeler with clear tape to label the lid of the palette case with all the Perfect Pearl names. That way I didn't have to guess which was which. All I had to do was flip the lid and peek at the name. <br />

A simple scoop or two with a small art palette knife was all that was needed to fill each compartment.<br />

Working a row at a time I filled them with color and added a drop or two of water, stirring to mix thoroughly. (don't worry if any powder falls on the outside of the compartments after it all dries it can easily clean up)<br />

Once you have everything filled to your liking let it dry overnight (or until dry) keep the lid open while drying. <br />

Enjoy your new Perfect Palette with Tim Holtz's Water Brushes, they come in a fine detail point and a wide brush. Watch the video above for more info plus I will have related posts following. But in a nutshell, fill your water brush with water...select your color of Perfect Pearl from your palette... pick up as much or as little with your water pen and add your shimmer to your project. It is permanent when dry because the binders are activated when wet. ENJOY!<br />

What a hidden gem!!! Did you know that if you pull back the label on the back of your Adirondack Dye ink pad you will find a complete chart of co-ordinating colors. There are 3 easy to follow lists... Lights, Brights, and Earthtones. With 48 Adirondack colors the chart can be help you choose which colors you want to add to your collection next. You can also use the chart with other Adirondack products as well such as Alcohol Inks. Paint Dabbers, Color Washes and Embossing Powders. If you want to label the sides of your ink pads you can download a label sheet from Ranger <a href="http://www.rangerink.com/pdf/label_sheets/AdirondackLabels.pdf" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />

I am truly heart broken. Just a few weeks ago I shared with you our loss of our wonderful 14 year old cat Maui. We lost him to cancer just a couple of weeks after diagnosis. It was a heartbreaking and devastating ordeal for all of us. I know that we were grieving the loss of Maui but last week we found out how much it took a toll on Indy our other cat. The day I left for Ranger U Indy passed away from sudden respiratory and kidney failure. I found out later that stress (like the loss of Maui) can trigger it and cause death. We had NO idea that anything was wrong with her. She like my husband and I were all saddened my Maui's passing and she was much more clingy in the week since he was gone but nothing signaled anything medically wrong. That morning my husband had dropped me at the airport and went to work as usual, after work he came home to spend time with her but when he called out for her she gave a cry that he knew something was wrong. He found her in distress and rushed her immediately to our vet. After 2 hours of tests, oxygen, and IVs they said there was nothing they could further do and sent him to another Dr. Tim drove as fast as he could the 20 min. drive but Indy passed in Tim's arms just moments from reaching the Dr office. Tim had them try to resesitate her but it was unsuccessful. We are beside ourselves with the loss of not 1 but both of our cats within 2 weeks. Since I was in New Jersey for Ranger U I was not there and my husband didn't at first want to tell me (I knew something was up the first day I talked to him, I could hear it in his voice). When he did tell me I went immediately to disbeleif and that is where I have stayed since. I am still waiting for her to come strutting into the room and jump on my lap, I will find myself grabbing for a can of catfood in the morning, I want to hear the jingle of her collar. <br />

Indy came along shortly after we got Maui. You could say she adopted us. She was a stray in our neighborhood. A very mean stray, I fed her for a long time but could never get to close (she would hiss and growl). Then one day when we were getting our house painted the painters tossed her in our house thinking she was ours. We took her to the vet and reported her to the police to see if anyone was missing her but no one claimed her. At the vet we got her a check up, all her shots and had a bullet removed that was lodged in her hip and then brought her home to begin the lengthy task of socializing her. Once she realized she could trust us and she was safe she was glued to our side all day and night. She was our little princess and her and Maui became best buds.<br />

Indy was often my assistant as she was always by my side, it didn't matter what I was doing she was trying to help. We will permantly have an Indy paw print on our table in the game room because she was trying to "help" me when I was stamping with archival ink and walked across the ink pad.

I also found out early on that Indy loved to be the center of attention and loved to model anything. If you look at pictures that she wearing something she sits up proud and is like "look at me!" She was quite the character! She somehow knew when I was taking pictures to look all cute, Maui usually closed his eyes for the camera and just wanted his belly rubbed. <br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We didn't always have her dressed up. </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I'm not like a crazy cat lady or anything but at Christmas we would break out a Christmas outfit because Indy was sure to be there in the middle of helping decorate the house.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Indy loved just about everyone but Maui was a bit more picky on who he let into his circle of friends so we were just tickled that every morning that Kyler came over Maui would romp downstairs to say goodmorning to baby Kyler. Last week I could tell that Kyler was looking around for the cats it broke my heart that they won't be greeting him anymore.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> I am hoping by journaling this it will help me begin to deal with the loss of Indy and Maui. My husband and I have discussed it and we both agree that we do not want another cat at this time. No cat or kitten could compare to Maui or Indy and it just would not be fair to them or to use to try to fill the hole in our hearts with something that isn't them. They were more than just pets, they were family. They will be truly missed!</div><br />

I did it!!! I am now back at home in my studio but my fingers are still inky from this past weekend. With all of my years of crafting and creating never have I been on such a creative "high". With all of the creative geniuses at work all in one room you could just feel the creative energy flowing. Now my head is filled with all of the limitless possibilities of the techniques and tips that I have learned. You will be happy to know that I will be working at a feverish pace to get some of these out to you all very soon with lots of new posts and video tutorials. I am also working hard on my online store. I am open to requests of items that you are having a hard time finding that you would like me to stock. The weekend wasn't all work and no play. Each day we got together for dinner and would have a great time really getting to know each other. I am always going to cherish my new friendships that were created at Ranger U. I want to thank Alain & Justin (the owners of Ranger), Tim, Claudine, Dyan, Mario and the entire Ranger family for welcoming us into their "home" it was truly an unbelievable weekend! I will have more later, (with lots of pics) but I wanted to stop in and say HI!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09963858749697329937noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-76193048470548140332012-04-29T22:00:00.000-05:002012-05-01T10:44:37.299-05:00Ranger U - Day 3<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whew! 80 techniques in 3 Days! Plus a project! I am going to be working at warp speed for a while while I have all these creative juices pumping on all this adrenaline. I am sorry sad to see Ranger U come to an end. It seemed to have flown by I am ever so grateful and honored to have had this opportunity. </div>

No more foolin around today we got BUSY! Claudine Hellmuth spent the morning with us teaching us about the Studio line of paints. When lunch rolled around I was ready for a slice of that square pizza i have heard so much about. Tim had us hopping from technique to technique. My fingers were happily inky all day! <br />

Whew I made it through an exciting first day. I wanted to update you all about my Ranger U journey but my hotel has really bad wifi. I'm posting this from my phone so please excuse any typos, etc. I will have a Ranger U recap when I get back home with plenty of pictures. Today we had tour of the wonka factory. I was expecting a yellow brick road running through it. It took all my willpower not to just dip my finger in the beautiful shimmery goodness. The brand new Spring Distress ink collection is absolutely awesome. Tim gave us a set hot off the press along during our tour. <br />
Tim taught us technique after technique until it was time to call it quits for the day. We wrapped up the evening with a tasty BBQ get together. I'm now fully exhausted and ready to turn In for the evening. <br />

I've arrive in New Jersey earlier today and am all settled in my hotel. I've already met a few of the wonderful talented women attended Ranger U this week. I am looking forward to tomorrow with crafty excitement. I am finding myself at a loss without all my inky toys and tools. </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09963858749697329937noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939974678513062074.post-53250163893501607302012-04-23T08:21:00.002-05:002012-04-23T08:21:16.863-05:00Faux Patina Tag<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://studiol3.blogspot.com/2012/04/compendium-of-curiosities-2-challenge_13.html" target="_blank">Compendium of Curiosities Vol. II challenge</a> has begun!!! Our first challenge is the Custom Foam Stamps. I had fun making my own custom stamps, it can be addicting. What a fantastic money saver. Thanks Tim! I think I may be creating making a lot more foam stamps our of my dies. You can find the full instructions in the <a href="http://www.timholtz.com/book2.htm" target="_blank">Compendium of Curiosities vol. II</a> book. I love the umbrella man and decided to use Paint Dabbers to stamp him. I used the Psychedelic Grunge Stampers Anonymous rubber stamps to stamp my background using a variety of techniques. </div>

Yeah! <a href="http://studiol3.blogspot.com/2012/04/compendium-of-curiosities-2-challenge_13.html" target="_blank">Linda at Studio L3</a> introduced us to this fabulous challenge with <a href="http://timholtz.com/book.html" target="_blank">Tim's first Compendium of</a> Curiosities book and no one was more thrilled than I was when she announced she would be doing round 2. She and Tim inspired and challenged me to do ever technique in his first book. I played along by making a tag a week and posted it to my blog and on her site. Having a challenge like this encouraged me to make sure that I got my tag done each week. And am I glad I did. I now have a wonderful collection of inspiration and head full of great techniques that I can use on my projects and am looking forward to working my way through book 2.</div>
