I was experimenting and failed at a project when I created a new and unique marbling technique using melted crayons to cover resin pieces. The process is backwards from your normal marbling but love the outcome with all the details and textures. I've included a video so you can see exactly how it's done. Please hop over to my blog here to see more details.

A small inspirational poster showing an illuminated letter, pointillism and stencilling. The illuminated lettering and pointillism were techniques I often used in the past and have decided to resurrect again, because they are such fun things to do. Check out my blog to see how they were done.

I did a bit of repurposing on two cardboard jewelry boxes. Now instead of taking up space on the shelf, they will be used as pretty gift card containers. Please visit my blog for more details!

The challenge this month at Anything But A Card Challenge is one of my favorite themes, Anything Goes (#37). I love Anything Goes challenges as they give me free reign to use some of the items I have hoarded over the years, like the shadow box I used in this project. Well, honestly, most of what I used has been in my stash for years. It was fairly simple to make and since I had everything on hand, it was free! Please visit my blog for more details.

I joined a summer themed tag swap at Viva Las VegaStamps! and I wanted to have a painterly background to showcase my stamped images. Faber Castell Gelatos are my current favorite go with me everywhere tool and this was a perfect occasion to do a little Cre8time experimentation with monoprinting on my AMAZING No-Gelatin Rubber Plate. Please visit my blog to see my process.
