California Playin'

I think that will be my new byline this month! So, here is just another option for the class on April 26th. The paper on this one is black and white...then inked with distress inks.



The acrylic cover with nothing behind it so you can see where the white pen goes



And then, the flower without the cover. I really like this paper!



More white pen on chocolate....yumm!



This version is much simpler and a little easier than the one I posted yesterday.



In this class, I'll teach how to make your own basic gray paper. How fun is that?




Yes, sometimes I do more than one layer of pen...just to make it pop.



I'm using tons of stencils from The Crafter's Workshop. They really have some fun new stuff out. I really like the new 6" sized ones....perfect for the white pen.



I wanted to do a page to show that when you have a light background, the pen still works. But it's not as distinct.





I love these little bind-it-all acrylic books. This one is ready for photos. No ribbons needed. But then..I also wanted to design this class so the student can pick their own colors/paper/ribbons and really design this to meet their own creative spirit. I think it's going to be such a fun class! Can't wait!

PLAY

Here's one of the classes we'll be doing at SYBL! on April 26th. This is the acrylic bind-it-all album. Acrylic cover. Just love this..such fun!

I took Ranger's white pen and traced the top page on the acrylic cover:



So if you just looked at the acrylic, this is what you would see:



P is for Play
L is for Laugh
A is for Art
Y is for you!

Here's the Laugh page



The lace had swirls on it, so I outlined them with the white pen. Now that's fun!



Took apart a package of felt diecut butterflies and swirls and made my own photo pages ready to go....



This is the Art page....I'm having way too much fun with the white pens!



Another photo page



My "You" page:



The back page



Wrapped a ribbon around the back acrylic sheet



And that acrylic allows the journals to "stand up"



For this class, you get to pick your paper and your ribbon from whatever is in the store....included in the price of the class. So I totally want each journal to be personalized....and totally different from mine. But I'm working on a second version...just to show you how dynamically different these can be....based on the paper that you pick!

I just LOVE being able to walk into a store, pick out product, bring it homw and just play! play! play!

So check back...I'll have the other one ready for tomorrow night's blog!
