Dear Lizzy, Dina Wakley Media, Mixed Media Layout, My Favourite Things

It’s December and there’s snow falling on my blog! I love that feature of WordPress – so awesome!

I’m teaching the last Fave Things class of the year tonight (we have one more class in January to clue up 2015) and it occurred to me that I hadn’t shared last month’s metallic goodness with you all!

The base layer and texture layers for both of these LO’s were made using Dina Wakley Media metallic paint. In class, someone used red for the base instead and layered the metallic over and it looked incredible!

19 - happyWe also punched circles from Tim Holtz Metallic Kraft Core and sprinkled on some Stampendous embossing enamel.

My most favourite thing are these Dear Lizzy Thickers – they’re gold foil over foam and all kinds of awesomeness.

19 - titleThe second LO uses the Gilt paint which is an orange-y gold:

20 - best everYou can see we dripped paint for texture in this one, but we still used those awesome Thickers – with a twist!

I showed everyone how to make their own silver ones! The best part? It looks like they were made this way!

I’m hoping to be back tomorrow with the LO’s we do tonight – they just may be my most favourite ever!

Cheers!

I just realized that I never shared the May LO’s for the Yearlong Album class and I soon have the June ones to show – oops! 🙂

We had fun, and a bit of mess, last month playing with Dina Wakley Media paints and one of her techniques, reduction stencilling:

For added interest and texture we spattered paint, added enamel dots, and made use of some die cut negatives:

may texture

Finally, we added our title, some Studio Calico vellum alpha stickers, and a bit of flair for extra dimension:

may letters

I’m pretty sure all of us in the class were in love with the SC vellum alphas – I think they need to make them in every colour!

For the rest of the summer we’re moving the class to Tuesday nights so no one has to miss out on weekends away – we get so little warm weather that we need to take ever moment possible to enjoy it!

I know I promised the last of my Card Kit projects today but I went shopping last night and I’m going to share my spoils, along with some entertaining pictures showing why I needed to shop!

So this:

new crop bag

is my brand new bag. Isn’t it pretty? I had to have the new bag because something (aka my cats) happened to my old one and it looks like this:

old crop bag

See the scratches and cat hair? It also looks like this:

old crop bag - sides

See, there’s one of the guilty parties in the background. Evil.

But wait. It gets better. I can also now do this:

old crop bag - hand

Yup. Entertaining for you; hard for me and my plans to actually keep my supplies inside!

So I took my birthday money and off I went. But since it seemed all big and lonely, I needed to fill it! Truly, the bag was asking… 🙂

So I got some alpha stickers:

and flair:

and more flair:

and shiny washi:

Excuse the dry hands – I hate winter… 😡

I also picked up lovely new stamps:

and gorgeous new Ink Sprays:

new ink spraySigh. Big happy sigh. It was fun. And the best part? All of it came from The Paperie, my local scrapbook store! Love shopping small and local and I’m lucky we have such a great shop here.

Now, I need to go play…. because I also picked up new product for my Yearlong Album Class and I’m itching to scrap!

And to really close off this post, here’s a sneak of a picture I’m working on now!

Cutest boy ever. Don’t even try to argue with me. 🙂
