Ustream - June 28 - Follow up post

0

WOW - this has been a crazy busy week. Today I want to follow up the Special Broadcast last Saturday. It was a lot of fun spending the morning / afternoon with you guys.

I used the Teresa Collins Designs Urban Market kit that we featured in June to create a self portrait layout!   Along with a few other items from Stampendous, Spellbinders, The Crafter's Workshop, Heidi Swapp, Cosmo Cricket, and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®

Our base was the glitter paper in the collection, and I shared that if you pre-treat the paper with Gel Medium the glitter will not come off.  I used the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® Gel medium. Someone asked in the show if it will dull the Glitter effect -  The Answer is NO this is still super shiny. 

Look at all of this yummy texture created with the Whipped Spackle and Colorshines! 

Chipboard shapes are super popular right now, and I showed you how to use your chipboard  and Spellbinder's basic circle shapes to create these navy blue circles. 

If you missed the show never fear it was recorded! 

Thank you again to Scrapbooking With Me Boutique for sponsoring this event, and providing kits!   Don't forget that our next Ustream is scheduled for July 7th at 8:30 p.m. EST.

Remember that August Ustream kit has gone on sale. Head over to the boutique to get yours while supplies last.  We will be creating mixed media cards.

Thanks for stopping in today.

Urban Market Mini Album FAQ

0

WOW -  the response to this mini album has been super overwhelming. Everyone is really enjoying playing along with me.   I have had a lot of fun myself.

We had some great questions on the last follow up post.  SO I hope I can answer them here!

1. Julie asked:    Thank you for class last night. The photos here are lovely - shows the colors up so much better than the live broadcast. Each page has its own beauty. You mentioned in the video and on here that you would discuss alternatives to binding (although I do have the cinch I am open to other suggestions too) but I think we must have run out of time. Maybe you are thinking of doing that in your update posts. Anyway - thanks again.

I'm SOOOO SORRY  I didn't bring this up that night. I think my brain was so overwhelmed, and  I JUMPED right into creating the pages.   

Solution 1:  I found this awesome video by my Friend Tracy - From Tracy's Treasures 24 on YT.   Called "NO BIND IT ALL - NO PROBLEM!" 

Solution 2:   Use your hole punch and just use jump rings.  Here is a quick 5 hole cutting guide that I created for you! 

2. Claire aka zanysisters  asked:   Tonya, As I said in my comment on Scrapbooking with ME, last night's class was fabulous. I do have a question. I don't have have any kind of large die cut to use on the Dots paper. I can make do with border punches for the other bracket pieces. I am kind of at a loss for a solution. Any suggestions? Thank you so much 

Solution:    There are lots of options for achieving this look,  Cricut has some, as well as the Silhouette.  But if you don't have an kind of electronic cutting systems, then I have prepared this PDF with a comparable shape.   You can Download it here!    Print this out and cut along the black lines,  then use this shape as a guide for cutting your paper.  

3. If you missed the live class - you can watch the videos here.   Remember that you don't have to purchase a kit to follow along.  You can substitute these products for things that are in your stash.  I always encourage you to use what you have.  Look in your supplies and see if you can find things that are comparable!

Urban Market - Mini Album June 2 Ustream Re-cap

6

Thank you to everyone who came to the show last night.  I thought I would share with you guys still photos of the pages we completed in the book.  Each Friday this month I will share an updated post until this little mini is finished! 

Here is how the cover of the book looks at the moment.  Keep in mind everything you see here is subject to change until I feel like the book is finished.  With each week's post if I change something, I will let you know.  

After the show I added this little Remember This piece from the Ephemera Pack to the back of our paper clip.

After the show I decided to add the giant feather that was in the Teresa Collins wooden embellishments pack. I painted it with the Wink of Stella Pen.  I love how you can see the feather peeking out of the pages before it! 

After the show ended I found this "The Story" sticker on the sticker sheet and thought it would be perfect for the center of that little frame.  This page will most likely get a little more love before the book is finished.  

Don't you just love how you can see all the other pages, behind these short pieces? 

Here is a close up of the camera paper clip that is stuck to the side of the transparency in front of the pocket page.  Above is the front and below the back.  The camera on the front was from the collage paper that we cut apart, and the camera below was from the ephemera pack. 

I added this Recorded sign from the collage page to the top edge of the pocket page.  And the Documented from the Wooden pieces on the waterfall page.  

Don't forget if you haven't started the book, to review Yesterday's post with the Cutting guide, and the video walk through.   Here are the links to the Videos from last night's show.

Part 1 -  Prep Video and Cutting Guide
Part 1 - POST with Cutting guide pdf link 
Part 2 - Ustream - Part 1 of the show before Ustream kicked me out. 
Part 3 - Ustream - Part 2 of the show


If you are playing along with us, please make sure you post pictures to the Scrapbooking With M.E. Boutique Members Facebook group so we can see your version of the album.  #TonyaGibbsJuneUstream in other social media outlets so I will be able to find it!

Check back on Friday for a follow up post with additional page embellishments.

Ustream Tonight - June 2 PREP GUIDE

2

Oh I'm so excited about tonight's class at 8:30 p.m. EST.  We are using Teresa Collin's Urban Market Collection. Tonight's show is sponsored by Scrapbooking With M.E. Boutique.  I hope you can join us live the Boutique is planning to host a give away! You do not need to purchase a kit to come enjoy the class.  We have lots of fun chatting with friends, and learning new tricks and techniques.  What a fun way to kick off the first Monday of the month.  If you can't join us live - never fear -  you can catch up on the recording.  A recap post will be posted later in the week. 

This kit had so many yummy goodies, that I decided to create a little mini book.  Since we only have 1.5 hours live - I decided to go ahead and give you guys some homework! 

Here is a walk through video of the mini book. 

Here are the cutting guide instructions.

As an added note -  I went ahead an bound my book with my Cinch.  If you don't have a Cinch, or Bind It All, We will discuss other options for binding in the class.  In the video I said Don't bind, but you can if you wish!

I hope you guys can join me. It is going to be so much fun! 

Thanks 

Tonya

Ustream Monday - June 2

0

Where has this month gone?  It is already the first of the month again, and you know what that means!  Come hang out with me Monday night, June 2 at 8:30 p.m. EST on Ustream.   The channel name is:   http://www.ustream.tv/channel/gibbst

This month we will be working with the new Teresa Collins Urban Market Collection. 

 

Thank you to Scrapbooking With M.E. Boutique
for sponsoring this event.  

 

 

This month's kit included

 

 

We also offered an add on kit

 

 

I thinking of doing a Mini Album this month since there is so many yummy products to work with!

 

Keep in mind that I have NO IDEA what I'm making at this point. Just been brain storming some things.  However, I will give a follow up post after the show with a detailed product list.   I like to have the following things within arms reach just in case..

1. A basic tool kit
• Paper Trimmer
• Scissors
• Adhesive (I use  Hot glue, Score tape, Tombo Mono Adhesive, Matt Medium and ATG the most)
• A writing pen in black and white ink
• Archival Ink Pad in Jet Black
2. For this project I'm thinking of using standard 6x9 envelopes in white (you can find them most anywhere), or you can make them with paper.
3. Some kind of binding system. I'm going to use a Cinch, but you could use Bind It All, or even Jump Rings.
4. I like to have a selection of punches (just use what you have in your stash)  border punches, shape punches.  If I use something that you don't have then let the Boutique know and they can order it for you. 
5. I like to use my dies to add interesting shapes to my albums (although this may be rare).  I will list the ones I use after the show.
6. Mists -  Suggestions  Heidi Swapp - Navy Color Shine,  Gold Lame Color Shine, or Tattered Angel's Silver Glimmer Mist are my suggestions.

 

The Boutique's design team will be creating with this kit all month to give extra ideas on fabulous ways to use the left over product.  I hope you can join us live, but we will do our best to record! 

 

Thanks for stopping in today,

 

Tonya
