Think it, Feel it, Do it!

 As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are talking about numbers this year! Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.  

This month we are inspired by the numbers 7, 8, &/or 9!  Be sure to visit Path of Positivity for a description of this.  

I've created this small framed poster for school.  The background paper has numbers and letters.  I've added some numbers cut on my Cricut.

Faux Tin Type Take ll: This time it's a pocket!

   This faux 'tin type' photo in Krazy Kat's Saddle Bag Journal (found HERE) is much easier than the last one I made for the Specimen Folder!  When it comes to faux tin type, this is my preferred method.  It's much easier!!

I chose to use it as a tuck spot on a partial page in the journal.  I took a shape from Cricut Design Space and made it into a frame to use as a pocket for a journal card with very little alteration.  

See the video below for tutorial.

Vintage Layout 1897

This month we are inspired by the numbers 7, 8, &/or 9!  Be sure to visit Path of Positivity for a description of this.  

I've created a Canva (digital) layout using the date 1897.  The focal image is a photo titled 'The Readers.'  The photo, taken in Ohio by Clarence H White, pictures two lovely ladies from 1897 reading some literature. I found this picture of Letitia Felix and Ada Follett Newark in the Library of Congress Collection.     

Check out the video below for some Canva tips and tricks.

Back in Full Swing at School

 Time for a new challenge at The Outlawz Anything but a Card.  I've made some school decor.  

I started with background paper from CTMH and layered up to a stamp from Stamplorations.  I colored the stamp with colored pencils to coordinate with the designer paper.  The piece fit perfectly in an old black frame from stash. A couple of owls from CTMH completed the look.  

Come visit us at The Outlawz AbaC and share what you have been creating!

Layered Dried Flower Page in Krazy Kat's Saddle Bag Journal

 

It's a layered page layout from Krazy Kat's Saddle Bag Journal.  I've used Wild Chicory (actually found in the fields) to work in the journal as 'she has found it along the side of the trails.'   

The right side of the page is in 3 layers with vellum over a photo hiding under the pressed specimen.  (See photo below for the photo or check out the video to see how it all comes together.)

Wondering what Krazy Kat's Saddle Bag Journal is?  Check it out HERE.  

I have learned so many fun facts working in this junk journal.  I had no idea this plant is Wild Chicory and it was used in/as coffee!  Who knew?

See the video below for a tutorial on this layered page.

Double Page Layout in KKSBJ

 Layout page from Krazy Kat's Saddle Bag Journal.  These pages include some old tags, a pic, and a haiku!  Now if it's been a while since you thought about such things, a haiku is a poetry style that uses 3 lines to tell a bit about nature.  The first and third lines have 5 syllables; the second line has 7 syllables.  No rhyming in this style!

See the video below for description and tutorial.
