We are back, baby! DeeDee and I took a little break but we are back with our monthly collab "Our Mixed Media Moods. Every month one of us creates a mood board and then we create projects based on that mood board. We also create detailed process videos of our projects. So without further ado.... Here is this month's mood board! We are using transparent layers, transparency, fabric, stitching, text, vintage book text, wood, fibers, vintage sewing patterns, tissue paper, machine sewing, encaustic, weaving, scribbles and mark making, browns, tans, whites, creams, vintage colors For my project I used a lot of elements from the board. I started with using the color scheme. I also used transparent layers and book text. I used some resin papers and machine sewing. I even tried hand stitching. I stitched my chipboard word with white embroidery thread. I also tried some French knots under my main cluster.  I used the "trust" chipboard piece as m...

 Hey everyone, here is my ICAD for Day Eight. Still obsessing over burlap and the UmWowStudio Star Confetti Chipboard! What is ICAD? It stands for Index Card a Day. Basically, for 61 ones, you create a piece of art on an index card. It can be as simple or as elaborate and you want. The goal is just to have a daily creative practice. To see the prompts, and get all the info check out: https://daisyyellowart.com/icad-base/ The background technique was inspired by Stephanie Papin. Stephanie Papin's YouTube Stephanie Papin's Blog Process Video: Sorry I don't have a product list for this card today. I'm rushing around trying to get these card videos edited and uploaded and just got too busy. If you have an specific product questions, let me know and I'll be more than happy to help! Thanks for looking! ~Jenn

It is time for a new month of Our Mixed Media Moods! What is our Mixed Media Moods? ~Hosted by Deedee Catron and myself, we create a mood board every month and create projects around it, using the photos as inspiration! Here is May's Mood Board: I just love the mustard/navy combo! So, I created an art journal page using the navy as inspo. And I added gold instead of mustard, as I'm obsessed with a pop of gold. I used vintage papers in my background, drawing from the stack of books and vintage typewriter. Here is the process video: Be sure to check out DeeDee's Video: https://youtu.be/ucAMMI8YWSQ We'd love if you joined us, you can link up your project to DeeDee's blog: http://deedeecatron.blogspot.com/2017/05/tension-mixed-media-tutorial-our-mixed.html Or you can join us over at our FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/OurMixedMediaMoods Here are all the products I used: (in order of appearance) Coll...

I have really been enjoying making ATCs again lately. They are the perfect quick and easy project to get my craft fix when I'm super busy. I have been obsessed over UmWowStudio Chipboard (and flair) lately. This "Fly" piece is chipboard that I covered with gesso and really thick & chunky black glitter. The owner of UmWowStudio , the super-talented DeeDee Catron has graciously given me a discount code to share with my viewers. Just use code JennE20 at checkout and get 20% off your whole order! The chipboard is super high quality and it has a darker finish than a lot of chipboard and wood veneer you see around. Which is what I love about it. Plus, they have so many cool and unique pieces to choose from.
