How to make pebbles - Inspiration post by Valerie Andrieux

Hello everybody !

I'm here today to share a little trick for the Feeling Sketchy blog. Here is what you will need :

Yep, just some pieces of paper and glossy accents. Ok joking. You will also need beads, crystals, glitter, laces. Just punch several small circles, adhere what ever you like on it and cover generously with glossy accents, enough to make a big bubble of glue. It does take a lot to dry. You could see the result above. On the left corner, with glitter (added before the glossy for the pink ones, and after for the dark green one), beads on the right, and laces at the bottom) :

I use them as flower centers or as small embellishments on my layout.

I made a video, it's in French but I add english caption for you...

See you for another crafty project soon !

Easter Inspiration

Good morning all. It's Sharyn here and it's my turn to inspire you. I would like to show you how you can use your printer more in your projects. Seeing it is nearly Easter I decided to make that my theme.
I created a card following the current (card) sketch and an Easter Basket.

I made my card using an Easter Egg cutting file purchased from the Silhouette store (#56967) but instead of cutting the image with an electronic cutter I recoloured each Easter egg, arranged them all where I wanted them to print and then printed onto cardstock. The sentiment was also computer generated.

This is the sketch I used from the current challenge.

My Easter Basket is also a file purchased from the store (#39175) and cut on an digital cutter using double sided designer paper from Making Memories. The "Easter" label was printed onto cardstock and then cut out using the "Print & Cut" feature of the Cameo.

Now I know not everyone has an electronic cutting machine but most of what I have shown you today can be replicated using clip art/rubber stamps and a craft knife and of course your printer.

These are the pieces I cut to make the basket.

Hope this helps you with your crafting projects.

Inspiration Post

Hi everyone it is Margaret here.
It is my turn to do the inspiration post for today.  I am a bit late as it is nearly midnight here in Sydney, Australia.  I didn't have a chance to look up and try a different card technique so I have done a digital scrapbook page to show how easy it is.  I don't normally do digital layouts but I am so far behind with my scrapbooking I thought I would have a go at doing some.  I have used Microsoft Publisher to do my layout.

I have layered photos from two different visits to Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia onto Create with TLC Jungle digi paper 2 and typed heading with WordArt and typed journalling in text boxes.

I hope you will scroll down and see the other work by the design team and join in our card and scrapbook challenges.

How to make modeling paste yourself

Hi there, Astrid here, it's already April and so it's time for me again to inspire you with my post. Today I want to show you how you can create easily your own modeling paste ! It's super easy and you can save your money for other goodies :-)

The only things you need are; Gesso and salt (just from your kitchen)

Add some salt to the gesso and mix it, the more salt, the thicker the paste will be, so be carefully, just add the salt little by little, it will dry quickly because the salt takes all the water out of the gesso.
Then transfer it onto a mask, you can add some mist before it's dry and tadaaa, your own modeling paste, very easy and cheaper then when you buy it in a store !

Good luck with trying and hope you are just as happy as me with saving some money !
