Go. Do. Experience! April's Layout of the Month

I actually finished this layout over a week ago. I still need to add the title but that is just a small job that I will get to later this week. Busy, Busy Me. As you can see I have used Tim Holtz's gear, ticket and tag dies in a big way. There is also one of his embossing folders (the car) and one of his Stamper's Anonymous stamps.

First class is this Saturday April 16th at 1PM
Second class is the following Wednesday April 20th at 11:30 AM.

You are asked to bring your basic tool kits including a ruler, ink blending tool and craft mat and a BigShot machine if you have one.

Those interested in attending can reserve your spot by calling
Scrapalicious 905-614-0085

Hope to see you there!

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.
