12 tags of 2012 - April

Ok, as you all know I follow the 12 tags of 2012 series by Tim Holtz. I always try to make the tag, with the materials I have at my disposal.

My April tag was a bit of a struggle as I was very nervous for the technique that Tim used. I didn't cut out a shape like Tim did, as I have all this grungeboard shapes that I bought a long time ago that are unused, and i found it the perfect moment to bring it out.
The tag has a very obvious twist of my own and I like it a lot.

Scraptastic

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to take a bit of time to share a great event with you. It's the Scraptastic event. It is always great and the teachers are amazing. The hardest part is choosing which workshops you want to follow as they are all great. So hop over to the site and enjoy.

Quick Message

I really should update my blog here, I have some cool tags I did that I want to share, but as always, life is crazy and I rather spent time crafting instead of taking pictures of the thing I already did.
But I will get to it (soon).

Creative Jump Start Summit 2012 #1

So I'm following the Creative Jump Start Summit 2012 invented by Nathalie Kalbach, and I absolutely love it. It has my creative juces flowing like mad. I start looking at everything with new eyes. I have so many idea's in my head now that it's really crazy.

Back to the Creative Jump Start, the first  Jump Starter that had the honer off kicking off the Jump Start was Dina Wakley. She told us to warm up this inspired me to do the first page in my "summit book".

 And it also left me with some cool pieces that I can use later.
