I used a couple of the pattern papers from the Classic Woodgrain Mini Collection. This paper is so versatile and can be used for so many projects and in so many different ways.
Here is link for the 12x12 mixed media layout I created last week using the same paper collection.

It's time for another Designer Challenge at Scrap 'n Stamp.
If you are following along the blog hop then you have come here from Tara's post at the Scrap 'n Stamp Blog. This month the designers were challenged to use Ranger Foil Sheets.
Full disclosure - I haven't used these foil sheets very much so there was a lot of trial & error in creating these cards. I'm sure there are better ways to transfer the foil but I'm pretty happy with these results. I hope you do too.
~Here are the completed cards~
I applied the foil on the background and on my focal point.
I used sticky embossing powder to transfer the foil to my stamped images. The sticky embossing powder didn't give me a perfect transferred image but I sort of liked the result.
Using a bone folder helped to transfer the foil to the sticky embossing folder.
The Sketched Layered Fronds stamp from Dina Wakley Media was fun to use for this technique. The top layer left a fabulous foiled outline to the solid base stamp.
Watch the step-by-step video I made to see how I created these cards from beginning to end.
Be sure to check out the other designers blog for more Fab With Foil inspiration. Be sure to leave comments at all the stops along the way and you could win a pack of Ranger Foil Sheets!
Hello and welcome to my first ever project for Canvas Corp Brands.
Each member of design team was sent a 4x4 burlap canvas with our first box of goodies and asked to create a piece that reflects their personal style.
~Here is my finished canvas~
I have included a complete list of products I used at the bottom of the post.
My personal style - that a tough one for me describe when asked.
I have so many interests that I don't know if I can describe my style in one or two words like vintage, eclectic, modern, grungy, whimsical.
Most of what I create is intuitive. I usually have no real plan when I start except maybe a quote that I may or may include in my art. I'll play with colours and textures - create a layer and see what ideas that inspires. This could explain why I have so many mixed media pieces and art journal pages that are unfinished. I am just waiting for the inspiration.
Does anyone else struggle with discovering your personal style? Don't worry about defining your art. Just create for the sake of creating.
