Jules is back again with another of her altered projects. This time, a darling mini drawer set for your special keepsakes.  You can look up Jules on her blog at  http://www.jules-atoasttoalteredart.blogspot.com/

Here's what she has to say about her class.

This project measures 10.5 x 3.5 x 2.5 and has six little drawers for those 'sweet treasures' we cherish.  You will receive tons of product, learn some fun 'shabby chic' techniques and there are even some 'sweet treasures' for the drawers of your finished project.  We will finish the project with a sealer that also makes the paper appear like fabric!  A closer look at some of the details is available by scrolling down past this blog post.

Tim releases Spring Distress Ink Set

We were so happy last week to discover that Tim Holtz has released a third Limited Edition set of Seasonal Distress Inks for Spring.

This is probably my favorite release yet as the colors are just so vibrant and completely like no others.

Peacock Feathers, Squeezed lemonade and Shaded Lilac are the three new colors that have been added to the color palette.

Check out this You Tube video that Tim did showing off these gorgeous colors.

Paint It.......

The world of scrapbooking is opening it's arms more and more to mixed media.  No, you don't have to be an artist and that's what I love. The designers of these papers have done most of the work for you and you can do as little or as musch with it as you like, the possibilities are endless.

We got in about 8 different papers the other day.......

and Jules happened to stop by and give me some layouts that she'd been working on. So, knowing how she loves this kind of stuff, I gave her a few sheets and asked her to have a play and see what she liked. As usual, Jules put the product to the ultimate test and you can check out on her blog what she LOVED about these papers 

http://jules-atoasttoalteredart.blogspot.com/2012/04/paint-it-from-creative.html

Here's a visual of what she did

And here are a few that I tried out using the ledger paper with clocks.

Left to right (above) I used: Luminarte Paint dauber (I used a paint brush); Twinkling H20's; Distress Ink

Above left I used Luminarte Shimmering Mist and to the right I used Distress Stain.

Also we received die cut shapes that are also paintable:

And for those of you Beach Lovers. We received the new line Oceanside by Christine Adolph for Creative Imaginations. Beautiful rich blues and browns...this line is going to sell out FAST!

And save the date! Do you LOVE this little Shadow Box Mini?????

Cheryl Mezzetti is coming to visit us once again to teach this stunning summer/beach project.....Wednesday, May 16th. I have had a lot of interest in this class so if you are interested for sure, give us a call at the store. More details will follow.
