BLOG HIJACK!!!

Surprise!

I'm hijacking the blog for a quick technique post. I was able to steal away this past weekend and do some scraping and I promised Judy months ago that if I ever created again that I'd post. So, in keeping with my promise, here's a little tutorial:

(Actually, I'm pretty sure, I've shown this idea before but it was many moons ago and sometimes it's just nice to have an idea repeated in a different way to get the juices flowing, right?!)

Masking:

1- Pick your sticker, vinyl letter, or shape and place where you want it on your paper.

2 - Using ink, chalk, or paint add color over the top of your sticker and blend into the paper until you have the shade you are looking for.

3- Remove sticker!

See, easy!

It's a fun way to add a new look to your pages, cards and such.

Here's my completed layout I did using this technique.

boxes

Here is an easy way you can make any treasure box, like the ones in our last post. Take some paper and Amy’s favorite white, sticky Mod Podge or Decoupage and cover an empty Cigar Box.

Cigar boxes are great they come in many different sizes and shapes, some with hinges and some even in a shape of a book.

We have everything you need to get started, even the cigar boxes. Sorry No Cigars!
