More scorpal ideas

Hey what can be easier than coloring with these cute shimmer chalks? Just dip a blender pen into them for amazing sealed glitz! Its so fast...my gosh its amazing. Here I am showing you how I colored in this cute butterfly on a scorpal project card. Earlier this am I posted "below" this post, some ideas for using the scorpal.

I picked two colors to use here for simplicity and blend them a bit at the edges when coloring.

Here is another I colored just using the gelly glaze pens. Its a dimensional look which is so much fun! You cant go wrong with these pens...
At the end, I glittered a bit with stickles glitter glue and added a grey tombow markered edge to the image. WOW!

Scorpal ideas! Just in time for VAlentines day

Good morning! I have to share some of the cool ways I played with the scorpal this week. First of all this is a tool that you just have to get. Until I played with it I surely didnt think I wanted one as the top of my wish list was packed with new stamps and papers...But wow! The first thing I used it for was to get the perfect crease in a project and it started this blowout session of creating. Here are a few ideas on white cardstock, and as you can see its pretty dramatic. Sorry about the photos, I just HAVE to get a new camera. I have been disappointed in my photos for a long time. Its back to Olympus for me:)

Ok, starting from the top I worked to create some simple lines as a dimension for a stamp image or layer. VERY simple with the scorpal...




Here you see the Scorpal, which has its own scor tool that is contained right on the board. Its really cool for those of us that love storage. Ok that is most papercraftin gals:) The board has lots of "grooves" that the tool just slides right down. Its amazingly easy and also easy to store. I have to say, all of these ideas took less than 1/2 hour to create, and photograph. I know you can do it too. Come and try mine first if you like....its awesome.
This was a cute one. I tried to use some squares as I love that shape for cards. This sure made a cute border. I have a daughter graduating this spring and I think this would be PERFECT for her announcements! No measuring...just follow the lines.

FUN FUN FUN! I love this....first I scored one side, then flipped over and scored the other side...the result was this awesome texture. I love it!
I didnt get it lined up perfectly but hey, its an idea right? I thought it was amazing how simple it was with the scorpal...


Ok, so you have seen some cool ideas. In a bit I am posting two cards I made during this little creative session and you are gonna love them!

Abundance books

I jut love TAC and the cool project ideas too so I thought this would be a super way to share how cool my fave project was this time we gathered..our abundance books. First of all it is in yesterdays post, the cute half cut composition book you can get just about anywhere for a dollar. TAC did the work but I know that any printer or office store can cut these down for you too. Ours are cut in half. Each time a new event registration is in, TAC sends out these fun batches of information for us. So if you are looking to join TAC, and there is a cool project like this for seminar you would receive it in your package. Ok, so I covered mine in one of my fave pink paper kits Genevieve, which is lots of pink, greens, purples and more. AND lots of black which is perfect with my fave pinks:)

I decorated the front, but the inside is whats fun. You see, the whole idea is to fil it with cool things while on a theme. So for the trip we were to fill it with abundances or blessings we encountered while preparing for or on our trip to SA for the TAC leadership and winter retreat.

Now my first thought is would I really use this? I dont think anything was in the book until I got to driving with Lori and Heather. At first it was kinda a joke to us...GET THE BOOK! We would grab it to write in it while driving and it got really fun. AND a habit which I think the original idea was. Ok, so we are driving, and pretty soon its inside jokes, ideas for business, fun things to remember, blessings of friendship along the way and more. I could not believe how cool it was!!!

Throughout the weekend it got fuller and fuller and now there are just a couple pages without writing. I would poll the girls, our roomies when we got to hang out and ask them fun things. So I kinda think that everyone should have one of these running in the household, sitting on the coffee table, at the dining table, in the laundry room...just wherever everyone goes and can add to it...it really is so much a cool thing. I have to share a couple things here too...

okk you can sense the theme, the way we were enjoying the trip. These are sweet things.,,,here is a funny though:)

1/2 baked card

the funny thing is that we were being introduced to the projects and I guess not listening quite right cause a couple of us heard this. 1/2 baked card? was this a new technique? hmmm...something I have not heard of? Could it be? Noooo....it was have faith! HAVE FAITH! we laughed and laughed about that. but not in the book? we would never remember that funny:)

so try making one of these. It can be a notebook, looseleaf paper, whatever you need but get one started and start writing those memories in them. We are determined to have a book for each trip together now. Its just too much fun to keep to ourselves and trust our minds to. I know mine is about full, my brain AND the book too. So its great to have it all there to remember and smile.

have a VERY blessed day!
