Give me a minute....
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
OK.
If you came from Becky's blog, you are on the right track! If you want to start at the beginning with Alanna Wharf click here!
For the next ten days, each of the ten awesome 2013-2014 design team members will be showing their winning projects that were displayed at convention.
I am starting out with a scrapbook page. Yip. Its the reason I applied!
I am a traditional scrapbooker and I love it. At heart, I don't feel like a card maker but instead a memory maker and preserver. So who knows what I may have in store for you over the next year. If you are not familiar, many of us are doing hybrid pages where we are using elements in the digital world. However, none of my Artisan projects are in that world... I am pretty excited to dive into that world!! :)

First, I edited this picture using Instagram and then played with my Canon 'Selphy' printer (see here if you are intrigued). This page would be more on the shabby chic, vintage side. This is a side that I played around in last year and you'll still see me come back to it from time to time; however, generally I like lots of layers with different mediums.
To create this look, I distressed all the page by using crumb cake and an eighth of a piece of sponge. I also used my sanding tool to distress the edges of the paper. Sometimes if I want big tears, I just grab my scissors and use it as if you were trying to curl ribbon.
I took my refill ink and made big drops straight out of the jar. You can see that because it wasn't mixed with anything it went straight through the paper. This was the look I was going for.
You can see I did some stamping as well as used little elements including paper clips and trims, etc.
One of the things you'll notice is that I love doodling on my elements. To create a border I simply made a border around my page.
Voila!! (See products used at the bottom of this post!)
Now, get ready to see Cindy - she's awesome... and not just her stuff!! Keep your eye on her - I adore sparkle and there just might be a little shine over there. Make sure you get through all ten because they are absolutely stunning and we each have our own style.
