Creative Team Roundup and Giveaway Winner


Today marks the "one month from the end point" of the 10 month term of the members of my Creative Team.   I am so in love with these women and their creations.  I thought I'd flash back to some of my favorites of each of their posts.  Each post has a video or step out tutorial, and the caption under each photo takes you straight to that artist's blog.  Enjoy!

Marit Barentsen
As many of you know, the journey of immigrants, and especially refugees and the undocumented, is near and dear to my heart.  So I absolutely loved Marit's beautiful fold out card, with immigration as its theme.  
Karen Gaunt
I used to work in old books all the time.  I was reminded of that by this gorgeous post and tutorial by Karen Gaunt.  
Sherry Canino
Sherry Canino used lots of different stencils to create these positive affirmation tags.  What a great idea to make them and have a bunch handy for giveaways, gifts, and happy mail!

Denise Alloca
Check out this beautiful canvas that Denise created, using different stenciling techniques and lots of love for her daughter.  
Lizzy Wurmann
I love the way Lizzy Wurmann assembles her collages.  She used Citra Solv to great effect in this beautiful creation. 
Kristin Van Valkenburgh

DIY Renew Note Card with Karen Gaunt - Creative Team Thursday (on Tuesday)



Is it just me or can you never find a little card or note in the house when you really need one? I'm not even talking about a birthday card, just a plain little one that you want to send just because?

Well that's where the idea for this little project came from. I used kraft cardstock and a matching envelope to create this notecard that can be used for any occasion that might come up!



I worked with the dots and dashes stencil from stencilgirl and the renew rubber stamp from rubbermoon both designed by Jessica. I kept it very simple so these could easily be made several times in a set. Perfect to keep on hand or even to give away.



I hope that you enjoy the video!



Thanks,
Karen

How to Create a Blessings Journal - Creative Team Thursday with Karen Gaunt


Hello everyone and welcome to another project for Jessica Sporn Designs. I’m very excited to share this project with you today as I am working in one of my favorite journals, my altered book. I love to work in the book as the text always gives some great interest to the background and helps prevent that “stage fright” when looking at a blank page. 



I’m using the Sacred Words and Marks Stencil from Stencilgirl and the Hamsa Blessings stamp from Rubbermoon. I really enjoyed working on the page and as you can see from the video the steps were simple but it led to a lovely layered spread nonetheless. 



Thanks so much for watching!
