January Live - Layout Tutorial Recap

Thank you to everyone who came to the live class on Monday night. I had a lot of problems getting the show to air live on YouTube so we moved over the Ustream. If you guys had trouble finding us, I'm so sorry. I'm just going to keep at it until I figure it out! Good news! We did get it recorded.

We kept it light and discussed the CHA releases. I based this month's class on a sketch challenge by Blue Fern Studios. Details can be found on their blog!

I used the Love Story Collection and their Doodle Flowers Chipboard Coordinates for my layout.

Here is the sketch...

http://bluefernstudios.blogspot.com/2016/01/january-sketch-challenge.html

Here is what my finished layout looked like:

I used a photo that I had taken during the Holidays of my Mom & I for the layout. In the class I shared with you how to use the Pentel Fude Brush Pen to draw a trendy title. Here is the pen that I used. The ink from this pen takes a LONG time to cure. Sometimes a day or so depending on the paper. It is also a bit tricky to use. If you purchase the pen, don't forget to remove the washer that separates the ink well from the brush tip (or it will never work - ::WINK WINK::)

I got mine at Amazon

Here is a close up of how the title turned out.

I also shared with you how I created & painted these cute little clay birds. Aren't they adorable? They are the perfect embellishment to compliment this paper collection. So affordable and easy to create. I love including small clay pieces like this in my embellishment clusters.

Here is the video of the class.

Happy New Year everyone. Thank you again to everyone who came to the show live.

Ustream Recap from May 16, 2015

Hi everyone, it was so much fun hanging out with you this beautiful Saturday. It was nice to chat with a few of my international friends for a little while. Thank you so much for everyone who came out to watch the show live.

Today, I decided to create a layout using some of the techniques I taught in the Ustream earlier this month. I'll link up that post below for you to reference. I was totally inspired to do today's project based on this "On Trends" paper collection by My Mind's Eye

While my flowers are not exactly like the ones in the paper collection, I think they compliment it well. I used the papers to back my photos and offer the title to my layout.

I used the Prima - Scenic Route Watercolor Pencils to create my background.

and the IndigoBlu Flitter Box Kit to create the Foiling.

Here is the video recording if you missed the class.

To finish off the layout and offer some dimension, I added a floral spray of beautiful Prima flowers. After the class I decided to fill in with some doodles and add a few more flowers.

You can click here to access the previous post from earlier this month.

Our next class is scheduled for June 1, 2015.

Thanks again to everyone who came to see the show live.
It was a lot of fun, and totally spur of the moment.

Please join me on LIMOR'S Ustream Channel: Http://www.ustream.tv/channel/limor1806 at 7p.m. MST (9 pm Eastern, 8 p.m. Central, and 6 p.m. Pacific) on Tuesday, February 17, 2015.

For the chipboard butterfly, I used a chipboard mini album that I had in my stash. However, if you don't have one, I'm including a pattern here for you to download and use as a template for cutting the butterfly out of Med. Weight chipboard. I don't recommend recycled packaging as you will see both sides of the butterfly and you don't want the printing visible through the painted layers.

Here is the butterfly. Please print at 100% so that the size is accurate (click the image below to see the full size).

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/gibbst

We are going to make a layout quick and simple.
Grab out your mixed media supplies, and get ready for some fun!

Thanks for your continued support! I can't wait to see what 2015 has in store for me!

November Ustream Update

Wow we had such a great time on Ustream creating this lovely chalkboard.

There are lots of tutorials out there for using paint pens, embossing powders/stamps and colored pencils to make your boards look neater and professionally printed. However, I wanted this class to focus on using actual chalk! I shared tricks for getting the looks you want even if you think you can't draw.

The two templates that I used in today's class were made by Hot Off The Press - they are older, and may be hard to find. Check with your local retailers to see if you can get them in your market area. If you can't no worries, look at your stencils, dies, and electronic cutters and see if you can create a similar effect with something you have in your stash!

Hot Off the Press Layered Ribbon Banners

Hot Off The Press - Swirly Doodles

Thank you to those who were able to make the show live. If you were unable to attend, you can watch it on YouTube.

The best advice I can give is PRACTICE!

Thanks for watching, now get out there and create a beautiful Chalkboard for the Holidays. I can't wait to see what you make.

Save the Date: Our next Ustream will be December 1, 2014 at 8:30 p.m. EST.

Thanks for understanding,

Ustream September 2014 Follow up

Thank you to everyone who came to the Ustream last night live. We had an awesome time, and learned lots of great techniques.

Here was the kit from last night's show. Thank you to Scrapbooking With M.E. Boutique for providing the kits, and sponsoring the show last night. I believe there are a few of these kits remaining, if you are interested, please visit the boutique.

In the class I taught you how to create these beautiful blossoms that mimic the flowers in the collection. These are fantastic on your layouts because they add visual interest, without the bulk! They are so whimsy and fun that you can add them to cards, as well as mini albums! I also shared a new technique for using your Whipped Spackle from the August Kit with Embossing powders to create amazing texture and depth.

Here is a glimps at the finished layout. So shabby and whimsical. Love all the elements. Can't wait to create my next project with this collection.

August 4 Ustream Recap

Wow we had a fantastic time last Monday night. Lots of Yummy techniques using our Gelatos®, Whipped Spackle, Gesso, Gel Medium, and Glaze from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®, Bo Bunny Sentiments, Heidi Swapp Stencil, and Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor paper.

As always thank you to the Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique for managing the sales of the kits, and to their amazing Design Team for promoting and following up with future posts using these products!

In the show we created 4 very different card designs!

On this card, I showed you how to avoid "mud" and create colorful backgrounds. We mixed the Margarita and Watermelon Gelatos® to create this lovely orange that we mixed with the Whipped Spackle for texture and depth. I also demoed how to resist with Gesso.

I showed how the Gelatos® look on a black cardstock. I love that they look just like chalk! So pretty. This card could easily be a masculine card by changing out the feminine colors.

On this card, we did a resist with embossing powder. I also showed you how to combine stamps in the set to create a word cloud effect, and interesting background!

And finally we used the Gelatos® as a watercolor medium. Sometimes "Mud" is what you really want. Like when I created the tree branch above. So I showed you how to use the Margarita Mix, Snow Cone, and Raspberry Gelatos® to create a pastel brown.

Congrats to our winner - Jeanie Ellis on being our winner of the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® Mixed Media Kit!

Here is a link to the Playlist with all three parts of the video tutorial.

In addition to the supplies above, I also used the following:

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® PITT® Stamper's Big Brush Artist Pen in Black
Studio Calico - Wood Veneer Bird
Cardstock Black, White, and Cream
Cuttlebug Embossing Jacket - James' set
Twine
Die-Namite Dies Flowering Branch Die
Die-Namite Dies Swirly Butterfly
Prima Flower
Sequins
Tissue Paper (white)
Butterfly Stamp (brand unknown)
Stampendous Dream Text Stamp

Thank you so much to everyone who came to the show live. I hope those of you joining in the recordings have as much fun as we did live. Share with me in the comments below how you use your Gelatos®.

The September Ustream Kit is up for sale now! Make sure you grab yours before it is gone!

So - How did I get the name Psychomoms? Well, I was that crazy mom with a camera in EVERYONE's Face, I volunteered for everything (photos are better inside the dugout), and I adopted every kid on the team. So...my Son's baseball coach dubbed me Psychomom. It kind of stuck as a term of endearment with the kids, and never went away. Here we are almost 2 decades later, some of them have married, and gone to college, but I'm still their PsychoMom! Get the full story of what makes a Psychomom!
