Personalized Planner Stickers - Creative Team Thursday with Emma Tildesley

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone!

For my first video of 2017, I thought it would be fun to share with you how I make my own stickers to put in your diaries, planners, calendars, and journals.

I find this a really fun way to add interesting elements to your planners.  Plus, this gives you a way to personalize your planners to fit your style.  Go ahead, create your own themes that you may not be able to find elsewhere!

I hope that you enjoy this video, and while you’re here, go and have a peek at the other creative team members fabulous tutorials.

How to: Mini Journal - Creative Team Thursday with Lizzy Wurmann

Hi everyone! Lizzy with you again with another project for Jessica Sporn Designs.

Today I will show you on a video how I did a "mini journal" out of a catalog and watercolor paper.

For the cover I also used a catalog scoring 1/2" on its spine to insert the journal. I like the dimensions, each page is like a large tag.

For the cover I used Jessica's Medallions Stencil over a Gelli print.


You can see how I created this mini journal step-by-step on YouTube by clicking here.

Collage Sheets are by Mary Jane Chadbourne and Nancy Baumiller

On this page I used Layered Peonies Stencil

On this side  I used Squares and Circles Stencil

Until next time!

Creating Prayer Flags, Bags and Bookcovers

On a cold Saturday, five creatives came over and we stenciled our own fabrics and made amazing creations.   Here's a re-cap - with lots and lots of eye candy!

This class was inspired by a workshop I took at Art is You in 2014, taught by Kecia Deveney and Linda Willis and called Flags of Affirmation.  You can read more about my experience in Flags of Affirmation here.  Kecia and Linda gave me permission to pass on their techniques and add my own spin.

We started off stenciling white and solid color fabrics with all sorts of beautiful colors from Deco Arts Fabric Paints.  

Here is Isolina Perez's gorgeous work - how many Stencil Girl Stencils can you spot?  Isolina is a jeweler and will be teaching at Art is You this fall.  I am always so honored when other teacher's take my classes.

Sandy Grezzi used gorgeous colors to create front and back journal covers.  Sandy is a former VP with the Craft and Hobby Association turned full-time marketing consultant.  I'm happy to give her opportunities to get her hands painty. 

Tery Favo concentrated on sea colored fabrics for a purse she's making.  She's a former doll maker and jeweler.  She brings the best snacks and always has the best creative ideas.  

Jodi Oster created a beautiful cover for her art journal.  You can see more of Jodi's beautiful folk art on Etsy

 Here I am sewing up Isolina's beautiful prayer flag banner.  My daughter Samy peeked in.

 Here's how Isolina's banner looked all stitched up.  So beautiful!

Brigitte ended up with a beautiful bag, and lots of stenciled fabric to play with at home.

and I finally finished sewing a mat for hot platters.  I've been working on it forever!  We had a wonderful time together!

The deadline to apply to my Design Team is May 1!  I hope you'll check out the requirements and apply.
