Pursuit of Craftyness: Coloring with Pastels is a Hoot!
http://pursuitofcraftyness.blogspot.com/2008/12/coloring-with-pastels-is-hoot.html
Craft Your Own StYle. Monday, December 8, 2008. Coloring with Pastels is a Hoot! I recently got my hands on a Stampin Up blender pen, and with a little instruction, I learned that you can use the blender pen just like a watercolor brush. Boy, was I excited to try this. Now, the technique doesn't look. Like watercolor, and the chalk technique gives an. Look, but with all the distressing I do - it suits me just fine. Stampin Up Blender Pen. Stamp your image on cardstock. All from Stampin Up. And, well, I c...

Pursuit of Craftyness: Feels like Fall...
http://pursuitofcraftyness.blogspot.com/2008/10/feels-like-fall.html
Craft Your Own StYle. Thursday, October 16, 2008. Today is actually the first day we've seen less than 85°. And ya know what? I'm fine with the fact that it's taken so long to get here! I don't live in Texas because I like snow, ya know what I mean? However, I may not like the cold, but I do love fall decorating! Last year's fall included the addition of this little (now big) cutie. {insert gratuitous picture of cutest baby ever here}. 2 Foam brush to spread glue. Mine has obviously seen better days.

Pursuit of Craftyness: Crumpled Paper Technique...
http://pursuitofcraftyness.blogspot.com/2010/04/crumpled-paper-technique.html
Craft Your Own StYle. Friday, April 9, 2010. I love the look of distressed paper! That shabby chic, vintage look where the paper appears well worn and resembles fabric is so pretty. Of course, there are many paper distressing techniques out there to choose from that will give paper an aged look but crumpled paper. Quite Contrary collection of Jack and Jill papers and stickers were exactly what I had in mind and they happen to be some new papers I've been sooo looking forward to using. Whether you're new ...

Pursuit of Craftyness: a quick project
http://pursuitofcraftyness.blogspot.com/2010/04/quick-project.html
Craft Your Own StYle. Sunday, April 4, 2010. Hello, I thought I'd share a quick project with you today. This notebook was a quick project I created with some Pink Paislee 365 degree collection and a $1 spot cork fronted notebook. I used the Pink Paislee Press Ons to add my background directly on the cork. It takes the rubons well, but you do need to make sure you really rub them on. Next I added this punch out, adding a second smaller one- the finger pointer- underneath the quote. Color with pastel chalks.

Pursuit of Craftyness: Creating Backgrounds with Glimmer Mist
http://pursuitofcraftyness.blogspot.com/2010/02/creating-backgrounds-with-glimmer-mist.html
Craft Your Own StYle. Thursday, February 18, 2010. Creating Backgrounds with Glimmer Mist. I'm guilty of obtaining awesome new products and tucking them away in my scrapbook nook corner with the intention of getting around to using them. I've had Tattered Angels' Glimmer Mists Glimmer Screens since this past summer and - yep - you guessed it - I haven't done anything with them. I HAVE used the Glimmer Mists - mainly to alter the color of something - but not in conjunction with the screen. The Glimmer Mis...

Pursuit of Craftyness: no tricks...just treats!

Craft Your Own StYle. Thursday, October 2, 2008. No tricks.just treats! October is offically here, which means Halloween is just around the corner! Halloween treats are always fun to pass out to your kids, teachers, co-workers and friends and family. I thought I would share some ideas on decorating yummy treats with your own creation of spooky papers. I found some great Halloween stamps at Michaels for only $1 each, but you could use whatever you have on-hand or even use some Halloween clip-art. Next I m...

Pursuit of Craftyness: Do It Yourself Graduation Cards
http://pursuitofcraftyness.blogspot.com/2010/04/do-it-yourself-graduation-cards.html
Craft Your Own StYle. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Do It Yourself Graduation Cards. With everybody doing their own thing from birthdays to weddings to other occasions, it only makes sense that this applies to graduations, too. There is no set rule that you have to use the same invitations that everyone else is using. It doesn't make the event any more official or unofficial of you "do your own thing", which is exactly what I did here. I also rounded the corners on the top flap. For the bottom flap, I print...

Pursuit of Craftyness: Creating your own journaling labels
http://pursuitofcraftyness.blogspot.com/2009/01/creating-your-own-journaling-labels.html
Craft Your Own StYle. Monday, January 12, 2009. Creating your own journaling labels. Journaling labels are everywhere these days, aren't they? I wanted to show you a very easy way to create your own, in any color - a perfect way to always have one to hand. First, I chose Spellbinders Labels One. For my shape. Second, I stamped my lines. I used the Cornish Heritage Farms Lined Paper backgrounder. Determine where you want your die to cut, and use a little masking tape to hold your die in the perfect spot.
