First class of January 2011

A mini book on a layout? Yes, just a little one though. Perfect for hidden journaling or a few extra pictures.There are a few Sizzix dies used on this layout, including a couple from Tim Holtz's Alterations collection. As you can see from my post below, I have a few and I am sure most will end up being used on layouts throughout this year. Papers are from Basic Grey's Curio collection.
Class is this Wednesday January 12th at 11:30 AM and on Sunday January 16TH at 1PM.
Students are asked to bring their basic tool kit including an ink blending tool and craft mat plus either a glur stick or glue for adhering paper to chipboard. Your own BigShot or Vagabond would be helpful.
Please contact Scrapalicious at 905-614-0085 to register.

Sizzix die storage in Ikea DVD/CD Shelving unit

Looking for a storage option for all you Sizzix and Alterations dies?

This DVD/CD unit from Ikea works great.

Holds aproximately 100 dies (depends on what sizes you have).

Cost $40 Cdn. I also purchased a magnetic message board for all my movers & shapers.

Hint...there are quite a few new ones being released at CHA. :-)

No, I won't tell you what they are until January 20th.

Since I have a few new organizational pieces added to my scraproom, I decided to do a major clean up and reorganization. I will post pictures soon. I still have a million little pieces of everything to find a home for.

I may have to edit.

Just in passing...

I don't know if there is a totally original idea or not. I know I spend a fair amount of time checking out magazines and galleries and other peoples artwork. Somehow it rolls around in my brain, often keeping me awake at night until I know just what I want to create and then I create it. I get inspired but then I do my own thing. Hopefully, that is what we all do. Please take whatever inspiration you like but if you scraplift, please give credit to the artist you take it from. If you want to know how I did something, ask. Glad to share.

Piece/Peace Movement

*** This is a May posting but I don't want it to get lost in the back pages so I am reposting it here. ***

I want to start a Piece/Peace Movement. Wait, don't go running down to the basement to see if you still have that pair of bell bottom pants or that string of beads you (or your parents) wore back in the 60's unless of course you are going to use it as artist material. I don't want to stage "Love Ins" unless scrapbooking or crafting is involved. No artificial mood enhancers required. What I do want to do is share a little piece/peace with others through a piece of art that I and hopefully you create. Here is what I have in mind. Create a piece of art. It could be a scrapbook page, a card, an altered object that you have put a little piece/peace of yourself into. Think about what Peace means to you and how you achieve it in your life. Create a piece of art. Not a paper artist? Doesn't matter. Use whatever medium you want and then post it so others can share your peace/piece. The idea is to spread peace around. Do something that makes you feel good and share it with others. The key here is to share your peace/piece with as many people as possible.You never know, maybe this whole Peace thing will catch on.
Remember to post a link to your artistic endeavors in the comment section. We all want to participate in your Peace Work.
