SUNDAY in Arizona

I spent a day at a Scrapbook convention with a great friend and scrapbook and card artist, Nancie Lively.   We truly enjoyed some of the items we saw and got to use in makes and takes.    




Some of my favorite products were the beach glass and colored sands that came in small jars with a medium to allow use on any art!   I can't wait to use it!  It really is bits of glass.  I know this one is somewhat specific to personal desire, but I LOVE THE OCEAN so it is a natural for me.   Much of my home is based upon the ocean, yes even though I live in Arizona!   I have ocean art in many forms collected from our travels.   From water colors to shells, clay and glass.  The colors of the ocean sooth me and I smile everyday to see it all surround me!

I am always on the lookout for new and interesting products for you!    I love made in the USA and recycled products especially.  

Speaking of recycled, Leslie Rahye did an awesome upcycled folio with junk mail envelopes and paper bags on her Streaming show...

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
