It thrills me today, to introduce this months Guest Designer, Jamie Dougherty! Not only is she a friend of mine, but she is brilliant when it comes to using and incorporating paint into her breathtaking mixed media artwork! Here is a little bit more about Jamie in her own words...


"I've been creating art since my late teens. I had a fine arts and pottery background, coming into scrapbooking, so in the eight years that I have been creating scrapbook pages, I have learned to infuse my fine arts into my pieces. I love to involve myself in all aspects and avenues of creativity. Expanding my mediums helps me stay creative and put my best work out there. I am a Prima Educator and Designer and teach classes ranging from scrapbooking to mixed media, with fine arts techniques. I love working with Prima, Ranger Inks, Canvas Corp., PanPastels, and many many others!! :) I also am a writer and enjoy the change in creativity. It helps me stay open to new ideas in my scrapbooking and Mixed media art.

Thinking Spring!

I am so excited to have warm, sunny days just around the corner. Spring means my tulips start to bloom, the birds come back and fill my trees, the sun feels so warm on my face and makes me smile. It's almost time to stow away those sweaters and boots and CELEBRATE spring.

So with that in mind. . . . there is no better way to celebrate the anticipation of spring than to release a whole new Limited Edition Shimmerz Spring Set.

This set includes: Mint Julip Pearlz, Pretty in Pink Pearlz, Peachy Keen Shimmerz and Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz (named after our very own Heidi Kelley!) The BEST part is all of this Shimmery Springiness is it's on SALE!!

Bingocard with Shimmerz

Hi there!
Mahlin here again with a new video... 
But first of all... Don´t forget to check out these darlings and the info in the yesterdays blogpost... 
I´ve used Hottie pink and Sparkaliscious in my video today. 


I like to have cards for different occasions readymade at home and my video today shows you how I decorated a bingocard into a cute card with Shimmerz. Ready to give away on a birthday or just to say thank you.  Since I don´t know who I will give it to there is still some decorating to complete, and a text to go with it. 





and here is the video
(unfortunately, all my text and info on which color I am using inside the video got lost somewhere  due to some error in the making.. but  the inspiration board is very helpful aswell)



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Making a Banner for Home Photography


My sister is a photographer (Vine Images Inc) and loves using unique props.  She asked me to make her a banner for Valentine's and I thought that using Shimmerz to make it would be perfect!

The cool thing is, you can easily make these at home for your own photo shoots.

I pulled out Razzel Dazzel Berry Vibez and Cotton Candy Spritz, two beautiful pink colors, to make the tags for the banner.  So simple, easy and cute cute cute!

NOTE:
The banner below was embellished AFTER the video with some stamping and ink around the edges.





And here is the video!
Find it HERE on You Tube.
