This will make it easy for you to follow along.

December Daily Ustream Recap

In our November 4, Ustream I told everyone that we would work on our December Daily Journals TOGETHER.   To catch everyone up to speed, we created our covers.  The back covers are plain at this point, I may get inspired to add to them as we go. Here is a photo of the front and inside covers.

I have created a play list on my YouTube channel titled December Daily 2013 that includes tutorials, and the Nov. Ustream recordings.  Hopefully, this Play list will provide an easy reference for you to follow along. 

> Click here to begin watching.

As a recap - we are using the beautiful 25th & Pine from Basic Grey for this year's journal. Kits are available at Flamingo Scraps  for $29.99.

In our December 2 Ustream, we will begin building week 1 of the journal and I will show you how to do some fun tags for your daily numbers.  Follow me each week on my blog, and the Flamingo Scraps Facebook page, for weekly updates as I create my own journal.  Hopefully it will help inspire you to create your own.

Thanks for stopping in today,

Ustream Tonight!

Hi everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  December is right around the corner, and I know everyone is going to get BUSY!   So tonight we are starting our December Daily journals early.

I hope you can join us at 8:30 p.m. est. on Ustream.

This month we are going to feature the 25th and Pine line by Basic Grey.

http://flamingoscraps.com/product-category/basic-grey/

We decided to break this project up into sections so that we can cram as many techniques and details as possible, without feeling rushed.  Tonight's class is going to focus on making our covers, and perhaps a few embellishments. 

Then, on December 2nd, we will focus on making our embellishments and parts of our book.  Each week, I will feature my pages from the week on my blog at http://www.psychomomscrapbooks.blogspot.com  so you can follow along through the entire month of December. These blog posts will also be posted to the Flamingo Scraps Facebook page.  Don't forget to sub to both so you don't miss the weekly tutorials!

Pinkie is trying to put together a mini kit for the covers, but you can still follow along. Make sure you purchase the 25th & Pine collection so you get it before the December Class! We would love to see how your books look.

We hope to see you there!  As always, we will do our best to record for those who can't make it live.

Rondelle - Card from Scraps

Thank you once again for joining me on my Ustream a few weeks ago.  If you missed it - you can view it here.

For my project share this week, I decided to make a card with the scraps left over from the Rondelle Mini Album kit used in the Ustream earlier in the month.

From Flamingo Scraps:   Prima: Rondelle Flowers, Leaves, Paper, and distress tool. Spellbinders: Hexagons, Fab Scraps: flatback pearls, Pink Paislee - Portfolio Stamp, Maya Road, toile fabric: Stick Pin.  Other: pearls, black card stock.

I used a sheet of the Rondelle paper as my base.  Then made some little fishtail banners from strips of the left over toile fabric.  Fab Scraps' flat back pearls accented the banners perfectly.  Then I added a few of flowers and a Rondelle leaf to the base of a Hexagon that was die cut from another sheet of the Rondelle.  I thought this "hello" stamp from Pink Paislee was perfect for the top of the torn tag that was laying on my desk. 

This simple little card used so many of the left over supplies from the mini album project I created live.

If you have created something inspired by my Ustream, please share it on Flamingo Scraps Facebook Wall. Make sure you  tag me so that I see it. I love seeing your creations.

Announcements:
