I'm super excited about the new workshop I'm offering in March. It's a portfolio that would be perfect for documenting your summer travels. It has a pocket for storing a little mini book and tickets, a journaling pad that you create to jot down memorable moments, and lots of Gypsy hardware. You'll learn some fun, new inking techniques, and get to try one of my new favorite things, Rub 'n Buff. You won't want to miss this workshop!

I've been busy getting ready for my envelope mini album workshop for tomorrow at the GACAC. I'm really excited, and can't wait to teach that cute little album. I thought I'd take a little break, and give you a sneak peek of my March workshop. I know, I'm such a tease :))

Registration for UStream and the GACAC will open on Monday, February 14th, so be sure to check back!

Spring is in the air…

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Melissa Samuels · 8 Comments

Can you tell I'm sooooo ready for spring!? I know it won't be long now, and I'm counting the days until warm weather. Today, I'm sharing one more card made using my Graphic 45 Once Upon A Springtime 8×8 paper pad. I just can't resist these gorgous papers. This is the last one, I promise…

I sprayed the doilie with Apricot Chalkboard Glimmer Mist and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Springtime Canvas

Posted on February 8, 2011 by Melissa Samuels · 12 Comments

Yesterday I needed a little break from work to just play, so I set aside the evening to create whatever I wanted. I couldn't remember the last time I made a canvas, so that was going to be it…a canvas! I grabbed some acrylic paint, glaze, gel medium, my Once Upson A Springtime 8×8 paper pad, and a 4×4 canvas. It felt so good to just paint…adding layers of color until I could see on canvas what I had invisioned. To me that is happiness.

Once Upon A Springtime

Cute, cute, cute!! That's all I can say about Graphic 45's Once Upon A Springtime collection. I made this adorable card using the 8×8 paper pad. I used white cardstock and the Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations On the Edge Fence diecut to cut the fence. I then sprayed it with Apricot Chalkboard Glimmer Mist. It matches perfectly with this collection. A little Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges, and done! Love it!
