OMgoodness – I absolutely love this mixed media piece

Pam Thorburn has done it again. Using our Pitching a Tent kit, she made the most gorgeous thing – arguably my faborite (fabulous+favorite=faborite).
I collaged on some of the [ephemera] fishermen pages, then the bird and birdhouse from one of the book pages. Beeswax over top-that’s a first for me!- and the lace flower I [...]

Our kit + Pam Thorburn = magic

We chose Pam Thorburn as our guest designer for the Pitching a Tent kit. And we are so, so sorry. NOT!
Pam’s garden journal is just amazing. Saliva-worthy for sure.

You can see it started as a cheap mini ringer binder from the pound shop-or dollar store!
The cover is the adhesive fabric which I [...]

Such a sweet thing

I got this awesome card in the mail from Nicole Maki a few days ago.

Of course it looks much better IRL (isn’t it always the truth?), and getting it was the highlight of my week (a very tough one at that). I find Nicole so inspirational. Not only is she a great artist [...]

Yasu is a handsome man!

We have fallen down on the job this month with showing you all our wonderful Handsome Man projects. No longer!
A lovely page by Yasu:

I’m totally cracking up about how she put the Marlboro man in jail!

Here’s another great page she made. The bramble of flower stems is actually a pile of painted [...]

Yellow winner – and another contest – BLUE!

Using the random number generator, Charity Donaldson is our winner of the yellow color pack.
The suggestion I’m going to take for our very gauche yellow pack is “Banana Hammock.” I know it was a joke, Maggi, but I just can’t resist.
As I head on over to ArtFire to change the [...]
