Guest designer, Satyn Avila

On Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the Grand Opening of Art Inspired, a brand new scrapbook store in Brentwood, CA. I asked my friend Satyn Avila to be my guest designer for the month. When she happily agreed I thought it would be awesome to have her create her book at the grand opening and to show everyone how to make it.

She did a terrific job!!

------------------------------------

Amy Tan is an awesome designer!!! I love this project that she created with out product so much I asked her if we could feature it on our blog!!!

Here's what she has to say:

As soon as I saw these albums a couple of months ago at Reflections(an event in southern ca), I was completely smitten. A huge fan of the mixed pages, I resisted the urge to get all of them and just scooped up 3 of my favorites. Excited to use the album for my upcoming road trip, I realized there may not be enough pages to include all the bits that would be collected. So I used my Bind-It-All to punch the additional pages (one of which was a an envelope). I then carefully opened up the rings, added the papers, and closed the rings back up. Voila- a creation that's as unique as the trip!

(these are just some of the pages that she did. You can go to her blog to see the entire project!)

Are you going to CHA? If so, we hope you come and visit us!! We are going to be in booth #2039

Hugs, Suzy West

Lead Designer

We have a winner, a project, and a reminder!!

We have a winner for our last contest!!!

Shelly put everyone's name in a bowl and the winner is

LORA OLIVER!!!!!

Shelly will be getting a book to you soon!

We have a new project!!!!

Nathalie Kalbach created this really beautiful project that is full of color.

I love all the fun techniques she added in this book.

Here's what she has to say about this project.

For this Punky Sprouts Album I used the beautiful Graphic45 On The Boardwalk Papers and a lot of Tattered Angels Products. For the clear pages I used some of the Beachthemed Tattered Chiptiles and Glimmer Glass and sprinkled some Glimmer Glam right onto the pages. The Canvas pages were created this way: I sprayed the Canvas with a solid color that I wanted to look through the later used screens. Then I placed the Glimmer Screens onto the Canvas pages and then sprayed with different Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Chalkboard Colors - kind of working them together. Before lifting up the Screens I tapped the excess liquid off with a paper towel. Some of the images that I used the screens with are also later on stamped over to highlight the image even more. It is just amazing how many wonderful possibilities you have with those different media in the Punky Sprouts Albums.

Last, just a reminder if you are attending CHA

I will be teaching my class on Tuesday night!
