I'm still working on the Spectrum Art Creations challenges, thinking ahead to the October line up and working amongst the chaos. Good news is, the chaos may get reigned in over the next few weeks. We had rain in the wee hours of the morning. Good news is, the spot affecting my office may be fixed, but we still have the leak in the dining room. We're getting closer.
I worked frantically to complete a couple of projects yesterday. I'm trying to work through the challenges systematically so when I've completed/ filmed all of the projects for one challenge, I can put the contents away and move to the next. I'm still working on the Fabrika Decoru journal. Today, you'll see the 'tag' is actually a Super Tag (journaling spot) made from junk mail. Then I'll be back tomorrow to show you all the frills.
I'll have another batch of tags for the Fabrika Decoru journal tomorrow then I think I'm winding that up in a Flip-through Frida. At least that's my plan.
Are you starting to play with your Halloween crafting goodies? If not, what about Thankful/ Gratitude.
I woke up this morning feeling really tired. I went back to bed instead of posting.
I did four ore tags for the Fabrika Decoru journal using the 'quilting' method. They resemble a patchwork crazy quilt. I was only going to make two but four or more works better with this technique. I learned this from DearJulieJulie several years ago. She usually has four or more tags in a challenge so this is perfect.
Welcome to still not having the best lighting for filming/ photos. I tried to chance the lighting a bit.
I used four different papers and/ or sides for the tags, cut into four pieces. Click on the video below to see the process. I'll be back tomorrow with WOYWW and pockets/ tucks for this journal in progress.
I'm keeping up with the pieces to Madi's various challenges in our Spectrum Art Creations Friends, FB group.
Last week, I talked about my plans for the Halloween Journal using Graphic 45 Bootiful Wishes and Midnight Tales. I'm really loving how this journal is turing out.
So far I've done the front/ back covers, including decorating the front cover. I also cut out the letters spelling Halloween to go on each of the 9 pages. I used the Tim Holtz Vault Coffin dies for the letters.
Check out the video below to see how this came together. Tomorrow, I'll be back for #tagtuesday with another set of tags for the Fabrika Dacoru journal.
What a week of celebration we had. I didn't get 'round to everyone but it was great seeing familiar faces at the party.
Here's my ironing platform/ desk this week:
Exciting stuff, eh? Those are the 2 signatures for the Fabrika Decoru journal for a challenge I'm doing with the SpectrumArtCreationsFriends facebook group. I made tags yesterday. That video is already up or you can back up to yesterday's post.
We're to have rain this week. Maybe I'll be able to put things back to rights by the weekend. Crossing fingers.
That's it for my desk (and story)
this week. Who's Miss Sarah and why am I here?
When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Sarah’sCraft Shed for all the details. Miss Sarah has a long list of other studios you
can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We
open the doors wide and welcome you.
Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.
Bob took me to brunch this morning so I'm late coming in. I should have typed this up yesterday. However, I am right on time. As I opened the window, the time was 1:11 AND I saw that I have 1,111 posts.
I study numerology and the 111 stands for - New Beginnings: It signals a fresh start, a new cycle, or an open door in your life path. That's what this post is all about. New challenges for the month.
I'm needing to get back into Spectrum Art Creations challenges to try and win gift certificates. Social Security puts a crimp in my spending.
If you'll go to my video from Saturday you'll see a flip-through of the Fabrika Decoru kit I'll be working with as well as the G45 papers I bought.
Here's a list of the challenges I'll be playing with this month:
Fabrika Decoru collection
Simply Stories
Halloween
Abstract
Aside from the themed challenge, there are the on-going Video Challenges:
Haul video- showing what we've purchased
Comment video - Whenever her videos reach a minimum of 20 comments on each one, the names go into a drawing.
I've made a list of what I need to do for each one:
FABRIKA DECORU
Tag Tuesday's (5)
Wednesday Album Progress (4)
SIMPLY STORIES
Sundays (3)
G45 HALLOWEEN
Friday Freebies (3)
ABSTRACT is the word prompt for this month. I hope to take at least an afternoon to play with Metallic Gilding Pastes
I want to get all the videos/ blog posts set up in the next two weeks, then I can start on the 31 Days of Halloween for October. I have decided those are all going to be Index Cards so if you want to play along next month, collect your October themed items (Halloween/ Gratitude/ Fall) and a stack of index cards in a size of your choice. Those will begin October 1.
All videos will be short so I can upload within my bandwidth restrictions.
I'll be back tomorrow to show you our first Fabrika Decoru tag.
