Mixed Media Mania - Quick and Easy!

Well, it's officially December!! 

Most of us crafty people are now feeling the pressure to get stuff done - whether it's shopping, cooking, decorating, or making those special gifts, it always seems like we are in a rush and the time we have left for crafting is few and far between.

So today, I wanted to share some quick and easy mixed media tutorials for you.  

Check out this super cute Transfer Paper tutorial I found on

or the fun gelato technique with Mou Saha

or this unique and stunning journal page by Oia 

(you can google translate the page!)

and last but not least - have you seen Tim's new tag?!

We have all colours of the Distress Spray Stains in stock and will be playing with them in next month's Art Journal Class!

Hope you get a chance to play with some of these in between the hustle and bustle!

Wordless Wednesday - #Remembrance Day

Yesterday our family spent the morning watching the Remembrance Day ceremonies.  The ceremonies were beautiful and moving and led to some great discussions with my kids.  My grandfather was a veteran and didn't like to speak about the war so Remembrance Day always makes me think of not only those we lost in service, but those who struggle after their service.  

When the television shared the displays at the Tower of London, I knew that I wanted to share some of the beautiful pictures in today's post.  All links under the photos will take you to the page the image was taken from.

Happy Stamping - Bokeh Technique

Good morning!  

So did that Bokeh word throw you off?  

If you aren't familiar with it, you are probably more familiar with what it looks like in photos

Bokeh is (are?) the little dots of light in photos.  

Looking for new and fun techniques last week, I came across this quick and easy technique video by Understand Blue and thought I would share it with you.

How fun is that?!
