Amanda's paint page
Saturday, November 1, 2008
and my diagnosis is............
Next in the inbox was Karen! She says -
Mmmm, challenge, YES!! I stuffed up my first attempt using the corrugated cardboard trick. So my second go was not so adventurous, I just dipped my finger in the paint and ran it around the outside. I do like how it turned out but it wasnt what I had in my head.
LOL paint often works in mysterious ways like that. I really love the space on this and your painted border looks great! The little strips of stripe paper look brilliant in that stitched border too.
Paint and i have a bit of a love/hate relationship.......I love the effect on other people's pages but hate it on my own. I also usually have a bit of problem like Karen does in which it never does what i want it to do. I may have been put off by this little incident a few years ago ......

two painters on board
Janice is going digi.
Janice has been showing me a trick or two.
check this out.
The feathering effect softens the awesome pic so beautifully. And what a great pic of Sarah. She must be so proud of this one and of you.
Love the stitching and the folded corner of the paper.
She says Really enjoying the digi scrapbooking classes with Karen Jennings.This is a layout that Ive done at home doing some of the things I have learnt. I was really happy with the way this turned out.
Well done Janice. Keep em rollin' in.

Challenge 19
This layout was inspired by a digi layout by Mary Rogers, featured in Scrapbook Trends magazine September 2008.
I used a piece of corrugated cardboard for the stripes and just a foam paint brush for the top left hand corner.
You have seen Amanda use a glass for circles before and a flick of the wrist for paint splatters - a little hint ... dilute the paint slightly with water to get good splatters and cirlces.
Another technique is to run the paint brush around the outside edge of the whole page.
Go on give it a try and show us your techniques. Include a little explanation of your technique if you think it might help the rest of us to try something new.

Christmas stockings ... yes it is only 2 months away!!
Hi All
Cummins is having a Christmas stocking comp. It will be held 3rd 4th and 5th of Dec in The Cummins Hall
Finishing with a craft goods fair on the 5th.
Scrap n chat are hoping all scrappers out there will scrap a stocking for display for the comp and you will probably be able to sell them
More details later
On the 12th nov at scrap n chat I will have available mdf stockings available to scrap
I need you to let me know if your interested asap so I can cut out stockings in various sizes for you
There may a small fee to cover my time, recycled mdf with holes may be $2 a stocking but this shouldn’t matter as you will cover with paper, new mdf may be more like $5
Please let me know as soon as you can so I can start cutting away.
