Live Stream - Blind3 Challenge Art Journal Page

 Hi everyone!

So today was my usual Wednesday 11am (Australian Eastern Standard Time) and I chose to challenge myself once again with another blind3! Today my choice of mediums was Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks! I blindly selected bundled sage, tumbled glass & brushed corduroy.

There were a few mishaps during this stream - the postman delivering a couple of parcels, my husband attempted to phone me 3 times and my daughter entering my live stream and then calling me LOL. On top of that I had another craft-a-lanch! I knocked over my distress ink tower and all one side fell onto the floor. No major damage but you can see by the pic below I was lucky LOL.

We made it in the end, as always it came together nicely!

Altered File Folder Pouch for Justin

Hi everyone!

Today I'm altering another file folder, this one is for my youngest grandson, Justin. He saw the file folder pouch I altered for Amelia and said he would like one also. The only difference was the colours. He said he would like blue, grey and purple. So that's what I did!

I used a LOT of product on this page, well paints anyway LOL.

Altered File Folder

Hi everyone!

Today I've got a different project. Still mixed media but I'm altering a file folder and making it into a pouch, or holder for scraps of paper and such. Although I'm going to give it to my granddaughter, Amelia who just loves paper and painting and crafting.

This project was entirely inspired - once again - by Sara (My Serenity Crafts). Here is the link to the video recording I watched while making this file folder pouch:

Instead of sewing the sides together using my sewing machine I decided to sew it using embroidery thread with the Blanket Stitch.
