If you are looking for a cheap and easy woman’s Halloween
costume accessory that is easy to make, this Halloween Gothic Themed hat is so
fun to make.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My daughter wanted a lightweight
and easy to wear gothic styled hat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her
budget was around $10.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we went to the
local dollar store Halloween costume department to see what would work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had some great pieces, which we put
together to create this hat. We started with this cool hat blank we got at the dollar store.<o:p></o:p></div>

I love the wooden wings on this costume. The creator used wood, aluminum and copper (possibly brass) to make these.<br />

You can also find some fun mash ups between pirates and wenches with a little bit of steampunk thrown it.<br />

Each weekend at the Renaissance Faire has a different theme, so it is a great opportunity to pull out your costumes and cosplay outfits to show them off and interact in character at "<a href=""Time Traveler" weekend event" target="_blank">The Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire</a>" in Irwindale, California. <br /><i><span face="helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">

The faux stained glass window are made of plexiglass and are usually displayed in straight sunlight (they will be mostly in the shade for the 2022 season).

The area also has days with varied humidity levels. The faux glass windows are also exposed to sand storms and high winds which can scratch the surface of the windows. This has an impact on the materials which I have used to restore the faux stained glass windows. It also affects how I process the windows once the faire season ends. Firstly, I wash each window. Then I oil the wood before I store it for the winter. This helps protect the wood during the cold months of being in storage and improves the texture of the wood. Since the windows are painted, I have to sand them slightly with <a href="https://amzn.to/3Djksmu" target="_blank">sanding blocks</a> (course to fine depending the portion of wood) to get the oil to penetrate. I do not repaint them until a few months before the new faire season so that they will look fresh (I usually have to sand them again so that the paint will go on smoother anyway).</span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8StF56OBCHTCEwaAu2yJ_ry-7lxvB5m0z73KWIku-xuAgG8k5s5dhzjCNsEsrY2ByW4ySriN4Xm0eyB-lZrowqXTgCHb2yvGtozQJfkxTI_UEXqejb3pCJ-YLShzLacsIw9XVyxS_WM7w/s1080/Renaissance+Faire+Faux+Windows.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8StF56OBCHTCEwaAu2yJ_ry-7lxvB5m0z73KWIku-xuAgG8k5s5dhzjCNsEsrY2ByW4ySriN4Xm0eyB-lZrowqXTgCHb2yvGtozQJfkxTI_UEXqejb3pCJ-YLShzLacsIw9XVyxS_WM7w/s320/Renaissance+Faire+Faux+Windows.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span face=""san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span face=""san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">If a faux stained glass window design is badly damaged, I will try to remove the damaged bits.

The colors were all faded out and the wood was in really bad shape. You can see to how there is a curve to the top of the window. They did not look good. There are a lot of cracks in the plexi glass but since these were created by individuals who were a major part of the faire (and have since past away), I did not want to replace the plexi glass. Instead I merely restore the pieces and keep them as close to the original work as possible (if you look closely you will see the initials of the folks who created these). </span><br /><span face=""san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKCzVhsmktCQ0410OODm4r3KVhSeU7Xmtqc1vYsYuMeSf27EqBGD0E-78MIZSaw_gL-pKgjlqW9A0WgAA6Pd-BearmFT3Fg9ZNRBTVZeq2SlfFQRZjOmJu9L4KtBUuCvFcL9430aUeUByW/s1600/old+windows.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKCzVhsmktCQ0410OODm4r3KVhSeU7Xmtqc1vYsYuMeSf27EqBGD0E-78MIZSaw_gL-pKgjlqW9A0WgAA6Pd-BearmFT3Fg9ZNRBTVZeq2SlfFQRZjOmJu9L4KtBUuCvFcL9430aUeUByW/s320/old+windows.png" width="211" /></a></div><br /><span face=""san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><br /></span><span face=""san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">Each year I start the process of preparing the Faux Stained Glass Windows by using a paintable <a href="https://amzn.to/3iM7FBb" target="_blank">wood filler</a> to repair any new cracks in the wood frames. Once the filler has dried, I then sand the wood parts of the window frame. Then I paint them with one to two coats of paint (if needed) and use a <a href="https://amzn.to/3mDunfT" target="_blank">uv finish</a> to protect the paint for the new season. Once that is done, I can focus on the faux stained glass. I look at each piece and check for fading, cracks (in the acrylic) and other signs of wear. </span><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinUjdqOa7p5cGc5JErxdky39l5Kj3zTCC180ua_hHnuf6b5Weiwl1QjoZGsmAsdpQJ1eAsVoylV-tYIBHVkI1FuCWY2qiqOJvWyc74kmfi-ELXZKTzNssEdrvBDhl0Z2ER8UyRIvQOD1F6/s1600/cracked+window.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinUjdqOa7p5cGc5JErxdky39l5Kj3zTCC180ua_hHnuf6b5Weiwl1QjoZGsmAsdpQJ1eAsVoylV-tYIBHVkI1FuCWY2qiqOJvWyc74kmfi-ELXZKTzNssEdrvBDhl0Z2ER8UyRIvQOD1F6/s320/cracked+window.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">Cracked Plexi Glass<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><b><i>Note: you really need to remove the old material before adding new material.

I can say from experience that the Gallery Glass paint colors are easier to remove than the competitor. However, you should know that I have found Gallery Glass adheres really well to plexiglass and is a bit harder to remove than it would be on regular smooth glass. I think that because the plexiglass is scratched it allows the product to adhere better. As for the removal process, since the Gallery Glass window color tends to cover up scratches, I am not worried over any fine scratches that may result from removal. Now I have used a competitor glass paint on some of the windows and that material is a lot harder to remove than the Gallery Glass product. I use tend to use a craft knife or awl to remove the competitor product. </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRTmmo6cd8k8E0RNcAahV0lwk-g8GjCxc-j8JBgirqs4e3Kcse6o-8tXOeGmoGEtYfCyP3wLh-s_jmMB-O89OlxaKwSCJmgrG7ADbVbTL6r_fHNHOcAhQ4lLw6tNYDrcG97jGGTKBc-4D/s1600/removing+old+material.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRTmmo6cd8k8E0RNcAahV0lwk-g8GjCxc-j8JBgirqs4e3Kcse6o-8tXOeGmoGEtYfCyP3wLh-s_jmMB-O89OlxaKwSCJmgrG7ADbVbTL6r_fHNHOcAhQ4lLw6tNYDrcG97jGGTKBc-4D/s320/removing+old+material.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span class="text_exposed_show" face=""san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><br /></span><span class="text_exposed_show" face=""san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">The awl did some damage to my fingers and I quickly realized that my daughter and I had to be very careful that we did not injure ourselves in the process. Personally, </span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">I find that the <a href="https://amzn.to/3lVMnSj" target="_blank">Plaid Gallery Glass</a> is so much easier to remove and will stick to using that product in the future. Once I removed the old dried out color, I </span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">used</span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"> a buffer to smooth out the surface of the plexi glass to prepare it for the Plaid Gallery Glass. I have used plexi glass cleaner to clean them in the past, but that can get expensive. So I found that water and a micro fiber cloth work just as well and it is more cost effective. Once I have finished cleaning the plexiglass surface, I allow it to dry.</span></span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show" face=""san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><br /></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">Another important tip that I have found, doing this over time, is that you really need to allow the gallery glass product to set horizontally for 24 hours or more. This allows the product to dry naturally and set well. Below is a picture of</span></span></span><span style="color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"> what can </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"> happen if you have a heavy hand (which I do) and put too much product on the window while it is vertical. </span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH9NHnD8VoGuL7WaIjYL6VP7o9dFie15z1RhYq0lfx7-GCUtgz2e-0VMEHj-4D3umV4494GdFYY96bp5S8_qRnerkj1ZRv1KlCR_qCKAt3WuO8__bZUmbEcBkodfJhM58KZ7cFx0C-bAWU/s1600/Klutz+Press.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH9NHnD8VoGuL7WaIjYL6VP7o9dFie15z1RhYq0lfx7-GCUtgz2e-0VMEHj-4D3umV4494GdFYY96bp5S8_qRnerkj1ZRv1KlCR_qCKAt3WuO8__bZUmbEcBkodfJhM58KZ7cFx0C-bAWU/s320/Klutz+Press.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">As you can see it did not set well. I should have used less product and allowed it to dry horizontally for the full 24 hours. You can see here in this close up where I did not remove the old product and just applied the gallery glass. If you look closely you can also see where the gallery glass dripped because I did not allow enough time for it to try properly. It looks terrible.</span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"> </span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRn2CQDaFRt3HXM4_3IoLIzd2GHv-soP2p-6UJd8EYkdzOtKFE9Cje5_F8mEi-GwpMS4KtWnYPrceH-oiQxIe9Ewfm-b3uQ4wdChEd0f2a0TPymEb6ZL4wsSQok3i37CCoJQxYxugbEErM/s2031/Renaissance+Faire+Window+closeup.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1114" data-original-width="2031" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRn2CQDaFRt3HXM4_3IoLIzd2GHv-soP2p-6UJd8EYkdzOtKFE9Cje5_F8mEi-GwpMS4KtWnYPrceH-oiQxIe9Ewfm-b3uQ4wdChEd0f2a0TPymEb6ZL4wsSQok3i37CCoJQxYxugbEErM/w338-h186/Renaissance+Faire+Window+closeup.jpeg" width="338" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">Since this is obviously not the look I was hoping to get, I removed it and started all over again</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">.

If you look at the orange colored area in the photo above, you will how bad the product looks if you do not remove any air bubbles before it dries. So, I had to remove that one and start over. To remove the air bubbles, some people use a lighter that they quickly move over the product. However, I did not feel comfortable using that method in front of my daughter so we utilized the time consuming tack method. It worked well enough for me and was a safer alternative. </span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><span style="background-color: white;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzq-jy4CrnLfz0ZZ5cbrilUo6E-RKu2wvWmY5Z3fJUd0TZYRZ7NvHf6WDtQ7HBNvcTaWDQodg_ilqNfsh61UT1CtBEWO5Hk4g1ftllK6T4piiy_rEmqeBXOsRVOhaoo8gKU3m0Ld3p_KHz/s2048/Gallery+Glass+Paint.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzq-jy4CrnLfz0ZZ5cbrilUo6E-RKu2wvWmY5Z3fJUd0TZYRZ7NvHf6WDtQ7HBNvcTaWDQodg_ilqNfsh61UT1CtBEWO5Hk4g1ftllK6T4piiy_rEmqeBXOsRVOhaoo8gKU3m0Ld3p_KHz/s320/Gallery+Glass+Paint.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">You can create various effects with the Gallery Glass paints by using different tools during application. I used a double ended ball tool that came with one of my clay kits to move the product around and give it more of a ripple effect. The photo above shows the ridges in the yellow paint (which is not completely dry yet). I wanted to give the plexiglass windows more of a texture which reflects light better and happily covers some of the application flaws. If you use less product and do not swirl it with a tool, you can get a smoother finish. However, I really like the look of texture in a window.</span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">I also wanted to make a couple of the elements in the design pop a little more in the sunlight.

I let it dry for 24 hours. Then I used silver paint and a very think paint brush to paint over it and give it a more metallic looking finish.

This is to keep the glitter from falling off and harming local wildlife (before you ask which brand, I have to state that it is better to buy the bio degradable glitter within your own state or country so the product meets your local government standards). It looks messy, but once the piece dried I removed the excess glitter with a micro towel. It looked pretty good. I still could not capture how well it glitters with my phone camera but it looks better than the photo.</span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHAY9VmkynPvP7Z8E4TS2mwc24VUJKrqSqMtwFJFjPYZSFg_EpqGV_A82yvsue0OxMYV4XzBIrTE3cshl9LLc7IzyBWhZpXbQbeE57qO-b14X8X3AsvSUu85Cw6dngfw92cgLsBxcAppCV/s2048/Crown+Gallary+Glass+Window.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHAY9VmkynPvP7Z8E4TS2mwc24VUJKrqSqMtwFJFjPYZSFg_EpqGV_A82yvsue0OxMYV4XzBIrTE3cshl9LLc7IzyBWhZpXbQbeE57qO-b14X8X3AsvSUu85Cw6dngfw92cgLsBxcAppCV/s320/Crown+Gallary+Glass+Window.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><br /></span></div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Since the glitter idea worked, I decided to try adding a charm to the paint to see if it would hold.

I have been going to renaissance faire since I was twelve years old and these windows hold some fun memories for me.</i></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrahCq3maQLubIdxgkuPYQb_0mdSvJ_YKfoJarLa57-Z84XT4oYo037APP1S_nmD7eJ81QmGtzrLH5c4zOSGtHeV4m2Cuyl25iesVx2qf5yLDCnS8HzYybvNp5M3cITgKhLAQOUNzAm5DN/s1440/Gallary+Glass+Renaissance+Faire+Window+Project.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrahCq3maQLubIdxgkuPYQb_0mdSvJ_YKfoJarLa57-Z84XT4oYo037APP1S_nmD7eJ81QmGtzrLH5c4zOSGtHeV4m2Cuyl25iesVx2qf5yLDCnS8HzYybvNp5M3cITgKhLAQOUNzAm5DN/s320/Gallary+Glass+Renaissance+Faire+Window+Project.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12942949164269674279noreply@blogger.comHuntington Beach, CA, USA33.6594835 -117.998802616.714686044234352 -135.5769276 50.604280955765645 -100.4206776tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998461346451973109.post-75687742979775934062019-06-24T09:30:00.001-07:002021-10-14T15:01:37.936-07:00Customizing an American Crafts Details to Enjoy Patriotic Pocket Frame Insert<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I found both the frame and insert and insert at my local Tuesday Morning store at a great discount. <br />

I love the truck insert but the white is limiting. I wanted it to be more versatile so I can decorate it with a Patriotic theme for the Fourth of July. Then I want to be able to use it to decorate for the holidays. I decided to use my favorite <a href="https://plaidonline.com/brands/folkart" target="_blank">Plaid Folk Art</a> paints to repaint the components so they would be more versatile for both holidays. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Supplies</b></u>:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>American Crafts Details to Enjoy Collection Pocket Frame</li>
<li>American Crafts Details to Enjoy Pocket Frame - Do It Yourself Truck Kit</li>
<li>Folk Art Matte Acrylic Paint - Lipstick Red</li>
<li>Folk Art Matte Acrylic Paint - Titanium White</li>
<li>Folk Art Metallic Acrylic Paint - Silver Anniversary</li>
<li>Folk Art Paint in a Dark Brown</li>
<li>Sponge Brush</li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/2IA0dYk" target="_blank">Folkart Golden Talklon Base coating 1/2 Brush</a></li>
<li>Adhesive or Glue Gun</li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/2Y7ZmDt" target="_blank">Elmer's Tac 'N Stik</a></li>
<li>Jolee's Boutique Dimensional Stickers - <a href="https://amzn.to/2J2FZ8v" target="_blank">God Bless America</a></li>
<li>2 Small Flags</li>
<li>2 paper straws</li>
<li>2 small plastic patriotic pinwheels</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Step 1:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz3o18RP0VyPYNeCsE_UhIeWgnjDWndyl0nznuUuG5Sz5hLe4SKsAxVkHN0B2omSObVEBM3HnRNt5u8gXsiIsenAme1v0UmnNzSX67yv9BxnEaVyQCJ3osymhsNfq2C51lqrZNiT4RqX-V/s1600/Folk+Art+Matte+Acrylic+Paint++-+Titanium+White.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1582" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz3o18RP0VyPYNeCsE_UhIeWgnjDWndyl0nznuUuG5Sz5hLe4SKsAxVkHN0B2omSObVEBM3HnRNt5u8gXsiIsenAme1v0UmnNzSX67yv9BxnEaVyQCJ3osymhsNfq2C51lqrZNiT4RqX-V/s200/Folk+Art+Matte+Acrylic+Paint++-+Titanium+White.jpg" width="197" /></a></div>
<br />
I did not like the grey background so I decided to paint the back side of the solid insert white. Using the Folk Art Matte Acrylic Paint in Titanium White and the Base coating brush, paint the solid insert. Allow an hour to dry between coats. I did three coats on my board.<br />
<br />
Step 2:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnvBwrP_T6v1cgu21cDZ8ZndA8sBhUq7gnYGGZI4EQX5gxIzeqaub3RzpGywHKaYGAby__El4Ym_2cM2W8vBAGAEdk3Sot0hymZGsX2s_Z68xtxGaOQhUJD2mSemDZWoZTIz8PM8kKPRt6/s1600/Folk+Art+Matte+Acrylic+Paint++-+Silver+Anniversary.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1058" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnvBwrP_T6v1cgu21cDZ8ZndA8sBhUq7gnYGGZI4EQX5gxIzeqaub3RzpGywHKaYGAby__El4Ym_2cM2W8vBAGAEdk3Sot0hymZGsX2s_Z68xtxGaOQhUJD2mSemDZWoZTIz8PM8kKPRt6/s200/Folk+Art+Matte+Acrylic+Paint++-+Silver+Anniversary.jpg" width="131" /></a></div>
<br />
Using the Folk Art Metallic Paint in Silver Anniversary and the brush, paint the fender silver. I did three coats to get the right amount of sheen to the fender.<br />
<br />
Step 3:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJWS1zNGYBEuiKtGES8_YK0c1ax_nZPjzdNQvIS3Uvv_7AupxJwJ7f5IuL_lcF5Jh_kGrlXDLaW6G266sayJ7htkD3vchUTrcN0henzfH2GhkrHm_gHXSC77OQ65nER4Nrtjj6QPF5HXAs/s1600/IMG_9170.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1438" data-original-width="1600" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJWS1zNGYBEuiKtGES8_YK0c1ax_nZPjzdNQvIS3Uvv_7AupxJwJ7f5IuL_lcF5Jh_kGrlXDLaW6G266sayJ7htkD3vchUTrcN0henzfH2GhkrHm_gHXSC77OQ65nER4Nrtjj6QPF5HXAs/s320/IMG_9170.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Take the truck components and paint them using the Folk Art Matte Paint in Lipstick Red. I found using the brush worked better than using the sponge to avoid creating too much texture in the paint.<br />
<br />
Step 4:<br />
<br />
Once the red paint has dried, use a dark brown paint and dry brush the details on the truck to age it. Allow to dry.<br />
<br />
Step 5:<br />
Allow all the components to dry. Then begin by gluing down the larger truck piece and the black wheel piece to the back board. I used E6000 because it allows me time to move the pieces around to get them in the right spot before it dries.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPw-qORv9PRa8GuvQLg7fq1mBKgJXScLS0tgUAfrcUneSKHGTxFag_cnStVO91eUfnduX3HW5AVoj_Js7YY_gd-DUM_FGE_FtEqhzYsOjzqComDa2GLGDg-9Ji-IcpBJoLdoOA6TkedqDJ/s1600/Details+to+Enjoy+Pocket+Frame+-+Do+It+Yourself+Truck+Kit+-+Step+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1201" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPw-qORv9PRa8GuvQLg7fq1mBKgJXScLS0tgUAfrcUneSKHGTxFag_cnStVO91eUfnduX3HW5AVoj_Js7YY_gd-DUM_FGE_FtEqhzYsOjzqComDa2GLGDg-9Ji-IcpBJoLdoOA6TkedqDJ/s320/Details+to+Enjoy+Pocket+Frame+-+Do+It+Yourself+Truck+Kit+-+Step+1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Then glue the silver bumper on top of the black wheel base.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQP05JFRdrWOaghMK2XHj_99RKbCoKcrtR-1bIzgXIk8kIyg10baXP3HQ0lRtXdserarRU0XPy_amL9_VxlIrjFHlJgUDx6sG0znAPhcKShurpv-punG8X6oxVuEYaBoebfeOgRnJxenfz/s1600/Details+to+Enjoy+Pocket+Frame+-+Do+It+Yourself+Truck+Kit+-+Step+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1275" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQP05JFRdrWOaghMK2XHj_99RKbCoKcrtR-1bIzgXIk8kIyg10baXP3HQ0lRtXdserarRU0XPy_amL9_VxlIrjFHlJgUDx6sG0znAPhcKShurpv-punG8X6oxVuEYaBoebfeOgRnJxenfz/s320/Details+to+Enjoy+Pocket+Frame+-+Do+It+Yourself+Truck+Kit+-+Step+2.jpg" width="254" /></a></div>
<br />
Then glue the tailgate above the bumper.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-x47BU3sQAduKelgtHmkqwp6x3OurSbbKMG0sqsKJIXLaP1uJpnB4aNHkFAAizpAq9JKBvcktHYUSpEL_uxLs56J8DN1e0El2M5AKJsxCyMLGXIM4QI_RBN9IcLjJyV8JRPo8NManMtUv/s1600/IMG_9207.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1171" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-x47BU3sQAduKelgtHmkqwp6x3OurSbbKMG0sqsKJIXLaP1uJpnB4aNHkFAAizpAq9JKBvcktHYUSpEL_uxLs56J8DN1e0El2M5AKJsxCyMLGXIM4QI_RBN9IcLjJyV8JRPo8NManMtUv/s320/IMG_9207.jpg" width="234" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Step 6:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgQweOzNzJSHN3mL4RuOXoMoCj99grb85UTS-bGXgA2PNcaeANeHTaGZW5AGp4raGfk06bcNOmZTQOzq7EfaHqQ96bWlORGAj_SUOI1LYrML5MJ8vlsPGbYWaC9wDyNLjHYGodVj5AnGG/s1600/IMG_9217.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="785" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXgQweOzNzJSHN3mL4RuOXoMoCj99grb85UTS-bGXgA2PNcaeANeHTaGZW5AGp4raGfk06bcNOmZTQOzq7EfaHqQ96bWlORGAj_SUOI1LYrML5MJ8vlsPGbYWaC9wDyNLjHYGodVj5AnGG/s320/IMG_9217.jpg" width="157" /></a></div>
<br />
Leave the Jolee stickers on their plastic background. Cut around them so that they can be reused. Use the Elmer's Tack to adhere the stickers to the truck and solid white background.<br />
<br />
Step 7:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv00jX8o8_f14V6WOS89KzuE2xRf2pnn3lM6ewmNKazn784udBqZUuUa2kjO4USZ_ZUBaVYgv8wLKlM-WhIdIiFL7JP2IxCjGlEvZTt_Bf4nqWv-lwTXSdJgh-eeL2bX_0-k5-RWzJMwsN/s1600/Details+to+Enjoy+Patriotic+Pocket+Frame+Insert-+Do+It+Yourself+Truck+Kit.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1351" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv00jX8o8_f14V6WOS89KzuE2xRf2pnn3lM6ewmNKazn784udBqZUuUa2kjO4USZ_ZUBaVYgv8wLKlM-WhIdIiFL7JP2IxCjGlEvZTt_Bf4nqWv-lwTXSdJgh-eeL2bX_0-k5-RWzJMwsN/s320/Details+to+Enjoy+Patriotic+Pocket+Frame+Insert-+Do+It+Yourself+Truck+Kit.jpg" width="270" /></a></div>
<br />
Insert into frame.<br />
<br />
Step 8:<br />
Insert the flag sticks into the paper straws (if you don't have straws you can always paint them) and attach the patriotic pinwheels to the straws.<br />
<br />
Step 9:<br />
To finish, use the Elmer's Tack to attach the straws to the frame.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHU-UEYtSAbQcwqv6Jazob_0XVl1AEZA3hS5m4Xf8HO0El_4TY4jyV2RFE9891-O3K2WIrA-cIiqnQpw5XmRQQsvIh5-pNmbVtx3-UBb3wup6cUTUmOS-bfhQGKmhBU_sCuSHWZ_EIllZw/s1600/IMG_9241.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1442" data-original-width="1600" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHU-UEYtSAbQcwqv6Jazob_0XVl1AEZA3hS5m4Xf8HO0El_4TY4jyV2RFE9891-O3K2WIrA-cIiqnQpw5XmRQQsvIh5-pNmbVtx3-UBb3wup6cUTUmOS-bfhQGKmhBU_sCuSHWZ_EIllZw/s320/IMG_9241.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
By using the Elmer's Tack, I can easily remove the stickers and flags to be able to redecorate it with a Christmas theme during the holidays. This saves me from having to purchase and store two different inserts.<br />
<br />
<br />
FYI: You can find more <a href="https://plaidonline.com/projects/patriotic-canvas" target="_blank">Patriotic</a> themed projects on the Plaid Website. Also, you can go the <a href="https://details2enjoy.com/" target="_blank">Details to Enjoy</a> site to see what other types of kits they carry.<br />

<i>NOTE: This is not a sponsored post, I purchased my Folk Art paints at my local craft store. I was not paid for this project. I just really love the Folk Art Paint product line and the American Crafts Details to Enjoy Collection Pocket Frames and inserts. I have included Amazon Associate links to Amazon but you do not need to use them. You can just do a search on google to find the closest retailer to you that carries these products. As for the pocket frames and inserts, you can find those each season at some of the local craft stores, online or through the Details to Enjoy website.</i></div>

Me & My Big Ideas Warehouse recently had a big sale where I was able to purchase all types of planners and planner supplies at a discounted price. Some items were sold individually at $3 and some items were sold in sets for $3. I went with a friend and the photos below are what we bought. We split our purchases because we both knew we did not have the space to store too much supplies and it made sense to split up some of the sets (once we had purchased them). Mambi is going to repeat this sale this coming weekend, so I thought I would post what we purchased so that you could have a better idea of what types of items were sold at the last sale. <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">Before I go any further, I have to make the following notation: </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases” from links listed in this blog post. </i><span style="font-size: 14px;">If you do not want to use my links, just do a search using your favorite search engine.</span></span></span><br />

The lines to pay were really short at the cash only line, so if you are in a hurry then don't forget to bring along cash. Otherwise they did accept Visa and possibly MasterCard (we paid cash). They did not take American Express or some of the other more common credit cards. Below is a picture of some of the many boxes of products that were available to purchase, as my friend put it...you will be hunting for good deals.</span><br />

<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Bring Cash or one of the accepted credit cards</span></li>
<li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Wear S</span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">unscreen (in case you have to wait in line to get in) and hat (if you are sun sensitive)</span></li>
<li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Bring a water bottle because with all those bodies inside the building shopping at the same time, it gets pretty warm. Last time they sold water but it is so much easier to just bring it with you.</span></li>
<li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Bring Canvas or well made bags to carry your items in while you shop. Your hands will be full fairly quickly and they do not have shopping carts or baskets.</span></li>
<li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Be patient, it is a sale and the lines can get long. However the Mambi employees are so nice and do try to keep things moving.</span></li>
<li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Come early, because the parking lot gets full quickly.</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">So where is the next sale? So fair they have not announced a new one but I know it will be held at a location that is easily accessible to the 405 freeway in the Fountain Valley area. </span></div>

I do a lot of Tuesday Morning Store hauls because they are a great resource for buying art journaling and travelers journal supplies at a discount. I decided to visit my local Tuesday Morning store to see if I could find any art journaling supplies and set a budget of $20.<br />

The first item that I bought was a Dylusions Creative Dyary (diary) by Dyan Reaveley for $6.99. Ranger used a cute play on words by spelling the word Dyary instead of Diary to reflect Dyan's (the designer of this fabulous planner) name in the product title. However, this does make it challenging when I google this product to get more information, since spell check is constantly trying to correct the spelling. The delusions "Creative Dyary" planner sells for around $16.99 on Amazon (the price can vary). You can find out more information on Dyan Reaveley on her <a href="http://dyan-reaveley.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Blog </a>or <a href="https://dyanreaveleyart.com/" target="_blank">Website</a>. <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: -webkit-standard; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">Before I go any further, I have to make the following notation: </span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: -webkit-standard;"><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i style="caret-color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases” from links listed in this blog post. </i><span style="font-size: 14px;">If you do not want to use my links, just do a search using your favorite search engine.</span></span></span><br />

I enjoy the Dyan Reaverley line of products so getting this planner at that price was a cool score. I will actually use these for an art journal and memory planner. One of the best features of the Dylusions Creative planners is that one side of each week is has the days of the week already filled in. They are non dated so you can easily start using the planner immediately. Additionally, some of the pages are already decorated with designs that the you can color in with your favorite colored pencils or makers. The paper is multi media quality so it takes color well.<br />

Some of the pages have various color patterns. This makes it easy for those who like to decorate their planners pages to add stickers, washi tape and die cuts.<br />

They are really pretty and personally, there a few pages that I don't feel even need any additional decorating (like the one below).<br />

There are 52 weeks included in this planner but you don't have to use all of them. There is a video on YouTube where Dyan Reaverly explains some of the fun features of this planner and other fun products from her line.<br />

The second item was the Ranger DYE61120 Dyan Reaveley's delusions creative dyray (planner) bag which I thought was so cute. I love the various patterns on this bag and they are similar to some of the stickers that are available in her sticker book. I also like that this bag has an elastic which makes it easy to attach to the above dylusions planner that I purchased. This bag was $2.49 which is a lot cheaper than it is on<a href="https://amzn.to/2ECqnHv" target="_blank"> Amazon</a>.<br />

I did not find anything else that I needed or wanted. The total with tax came out to less than $12 which was below the $20 budget I had set for the day. I think it was a pretty good haul for the amount I had to spend. If you want to see a past haul I did at Tuesday Morning, then just <a href="https://keepcalmandcrafton.blogspot.com/2017/06/tuesday-morning-store-martha-stewart.html"><span style="color: #e4af0a;">click here</span></a> to go to that post.</div>

If you love Tomboy products then you will love the new Twin Tone markers colors that are included in the Tombow VIP Club monthly box for January 2019. One of the things that I like about the Tombow VIP Club box is that it does not come automatically. Each time that <a href="https://www.tombowusa.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8bTq96aN4AIVFRx9Ch3w8AidEAAYASAAEgJJZ_D_BwE" target="_blank">Tombow</a> offers a VIP club box they have a preview on the website so that their customers can decide if they want to order it or not. They do tend to sell out pretty quickly, so you may want to make sure you get your name on their mailing list to know when the next one is available. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Before I go any further, I have to make the following notation:</span> </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases” from links listed in this blog post. </i><i><b>If you do not want to use my links, just do a search using your favorite search engine.</b></i></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(29, 34, 40);"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></span>

The January Tombow VIP Club box features their newest addition to their marker collection, the TwinTone Rainbow marker collection. These <a href="https://amzn.to/2YKYKsG" target="_blank">TwinTone Rainbow Markers</a> are double-sided markers with a broad bullet tip and an extra fine tip for more precise lines.<br />

The Tombow VIP Club boxes always include a great insert that describes the included products and sometimes they have additional ideas and tips on how to use them.<br />

<br />
The box also included a Faux Calligraphy & Planner Doodle Insert. One side has some easy step by step doodles and the other side features an exemplar alphabet. The insert also has some quick tips at the top of the faux calligraphy side. I think these will be helpful to help me with lettering and decorating in my journal. <br />

The last item in the Tombow VIP Club box is 3 pack of <a href="https://amzn.to/2XbvXNo" target="_blank">Mini Size Glue tape</a> (1/3 in x 276 in per applicator). This mini size glue tape adhesive set is acid free and permanent. I found them to be perfect for use in my art journals because the adhesive is so strong. <br />
<br />
I paid a total of $25 for this kit which I feel was a great deal. I would have paid that much for the marker set so I consider all the other cool items to be a bonus.

I am always on the look out for fun last minute DIY gifts and this cute light up Snowman Shadow Box was just perfect for a hand printed project. These cute shadow boxes are sold at my local Micheal's Store unpainted and unfinished. They are really easy to work with and each one can easily be personalized to suit your own esthetic. I used my new set of Folk Art Multi Surface paints (I have a <a href="https://keepcalmandcrafton.blogspot.com/2018/11/folk-art-multi-surface-paint-review.html" target="_blank">Product Review </a>if you want to learn more about these paints) by Plaid. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Before I go any further, I have to make the following notation:</span> </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases” from links listed in this blog post. </i><i><b>If you do not want to use my links, just do a search using your favorite search engine.</b></i></span></span><br />

<br />
<u>Step 1</u>:<br />
Open the package and remove the bottom of the shadow box, this will allow you to remove the inserts. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivScet2-YHL3ZUsO33ZPz1rD5hY3812aoCCkPlVmiD7yl9QSFf25J_cVC7mzHKcbqq6WzF7Ont-59t0cJMRiD9-bFaozh3gNuzmU1kNOtbhxvJxin8mh0Q8HOjtTOHsXb_m-ydWNzDdpD9/s1600/Snowman+Shadow+Box+Bottom.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="968" data-original-width="1600" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivScet2-YHL3ZUsO33ZPz1rD5hY3812aoCCkPlVmiD7yl9QSFf25J_cVC7mzHKcbqq6WzF7Ont-59t0cJMRiD9-bFaozh3gNuzmU1kNOtbhxvJxin8mh0Q8HOjtTOHsXb_m-ydWNzDdpD9/s320/Snowman+Shadow+Box+Bottom.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<u>Step 2</u>:<br />
Sand all the pieces, being careful to not damage the lights or battery box. Paint the interior and exterior of the shadow box with the Wicker White paint. Use as many coats as you like until you get the finish you want. I used the Folk Art Multi Surface Paints which are fairly opaque so I only needed two coats.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0RPjsfA37Krih9zgBHKDPIIBVlToD7Ez-rsNaXPrfxGFpZW2mZIaqdORO538zIrc04NsJLdW9Tbmq5FWbeGYaZgAUazSdQ0KdEHh1UfwBVcguqOAVelIdenKO6WE2UifFAHm7d3PgBEzz/s1600/Version+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1349" data-original-width="1600" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0RPjsfA37Krih9zgBHKDPIIBVlToD7Ez-rsNaXPrfxGFpZW2mZIaqdORO538zIrc04NsJLdW9Tbmq5FWbeGYaZgAUazSdQ0KdEHh1UfwBVcguqOAVelIdenKO6WE2UifFAHm7d3PgBEzz/s320/Version+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<u>Step 3</u>:<br />
Paint the trees in the front of the shadow box with the Folk Art Multi Surface paint in real brown. I also used the Wicker White for the snow flakes. Once the paint has dried, you can use the <a href="https://amzn.to/2R0qTXh" target="_blank">Folk Art Glitter paint</a> in Silver to accent the snow flakes. After that has dried, use the clear glue to adhere the white glitter to the tree branches to make it look like it is snowing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh3mC3GSSyfizngvj8JsXJTtANpMsJvA2d0vLSGbtaJFN2bu12vqRxfm2RQTV36M_X-JP_e4YHszokTID1YxM4N5ZVRjP7aFx517hAxJfyJlGODysVCoJoL7zFyfJvBmcOroRAi9UnzyiF/s1600/IMG_5284.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh3mC3GSSyfizngvj8JsXJTtANpMsJvA2d0vLSGbtaJFN2bu12vqRxfm2RQTV36M_X-JP_e4YHszokTID1YxM4N5ZVRjP7aFx517hAxJfyJlGODysVCoJoL7zFyfJvBmcOroRAi9UnzyiF/s320/IMG_5284.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<u>Step 4</u>:<br />
Once the front of the shadow box has dried, take the glitter sheet and measure it. Cut it to fit inside of the shadow box. Use the clear glue to adhere the glitter sheet to the shadow box. Make sure to cut it so that you can still see the lights when they are turned on. <br />
<br />
Tip: If you are unable to purchase a glitter sheet of paper, you can just paint the interior back wall blue and add some blue glitter using the clear glue.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcdArlsd1vOJl3o1qegd3pxdGTHyyA5uaQ7By4hGEOVQlaSxj_xR8WENtOvsaiKNs9i5Hcr5ZXW-e4B2UvQMau-dM4BeL-6Nquo-DW9hlj4Y25gYI6gcWBtdDE7wiwxoTu11GPDJclc0yA/s1600/DIY+Shadow+Box+Insert.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1538" data-original-width="1600" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcdArlsd1vOJl3o1qegd3pxdGTHyyA5uaQ7By4hGEOVQlaSxj_xR8WENtOvsaiKNs9i5Hcr5ZXW-e4B2UvQMau-dM4BeL-6Nquo-DW9hlj4Y25gYI6gcWBtdDE7wiwxoTu11GPDJclc0yA/s320/DIY+Shadow+Box+Insert.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<u>Step 5</u>:<br />
Using the multi surface paints, begin to paint the inserts. Allow to dry between coats.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVErqtDTkzbS0dOaJ1jzC_SWs72fgF0q8cTgznpXYZWLIXrVLH2VuYBjSFRLnISF9zpxMo0k1n7Hqm0zp-E9NDK6wLjUB6HaGMVrO0wPIiy9BuJrb6XHGuuHtdUwdAav2zRDtv2up21J-V/s1600/IMG_5290.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVErqtDTkzbS0dOaJ1jzC_SWs72fgF0q8cTgznpXYZWLIXrVLH2VuYBjSFRLnISF9zpxMo0k1n7Hqm0zp-E9NDK6wLjUB6HaGMVrO0wPIiy9BuJrb6XHGuuHtdUwdAav2zRDtv2up21J-V/s320/IMG_5290.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Step 6:<br />
Use the <a href="https://amzn.to/2R2Rfba" target="_blank">Ranger Glossy Accents</a> to add some dimension to the roof of the house. Allow to the Glossy Accents product to dry.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8q74PLiWFDkbp9FvqOD9tVgmaIpGuFubyv8CTt6wISn-EHTWf6VVXRDWwEvdRluR2Clou-oH9IJUO3P_iaShMKQS1NrKq8-B6iJaeHvBSmMa5TjozndMlC8QoibdG9cD2gpd9-FfdTL3F/s1600/Version+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1164" data-original-width="1600" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8q74PLiWFDkbp9FvqOD9tVgmaIpGuFubyv8CTt6wISn-EHTWf6VVXRDWwEvdRluR2Clou-oH9IJUO3P_iaShMKQS1NrKq8-B6iJaeHvBSmMa5TjozndMlC8QoibdG9cD2gpd9-FfdTL3F/s320/Version+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 7:<br />
Use the Silver Glitter paint to accent the roof top and Pine Tree. If you want to really catch the light, then add a bit of chunky glitter to the areas you have painted with the glitter paint (before it dries).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDK8N6RohguUh3Kd4kRZBy1R5QnNS8SsWst0nT05uva6YPzSXfeatt0UsdUA0g381Tdgi1DOTgaQy5oEnTekXFSKWpHWVEg6sCI-oKNjpMeLnFEwGfkQD4Z7_y6ziU8JBEcmnvat_qPyPB/s1600/IMG_5217.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1286" data-original-width="1600" height="257" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDK8N6RohguUh3Kd4kRZBy1R5QnNS8SsWst0nT05uva6YPzSXfeatt0UsdUA0g381Tdgi1DOTgaQy5oEnTekXFSKWpHWVEg6sCI-oKNjpMeLnFEwGfkQD4Z7_y6ziU8JBEcmnvat_qPyPB/s320/IMG_5217.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<u>Step 8</u>:<br />
Use the clear glue to adhere the white glitter to the snowman in the 2nd insert.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1bgbaFBQIs4uGkYB7Hewkoq83w8JsvzOwHHk7Xl_mS8wAngfm_MmmXzRYB9plKGV4ICsmhNj14iSWmueu9LAoPCZ6knLRCAO2yWL3lY2S8pgaUapcAZ5MJqTsEccVDInYhhNu7Ofiee4/s1600/Shadowbox+Snowman.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1bgbaFBQIs4uGkYB7Hewkoq83w8JsvzOwHHk7Xl_mS8wAngfm_MmmXzRYB9plKGV4ICsmhNj14iSWmueu9LAoPCZ6knLRCAO2yWL3lY2S8pgaUapcAZ5MJqTsEccVDInYhhNu7Ofiee4/s320/Shadowbox+Snowman.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then use the Folk Art Silver Glitter paint to add sparkle to the snowflakes. If you want to add even more sparkle, then just add a little chunky silver glitter to the painted surface before it dries.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibSqFGRLCtuSGsXulIukbCmY9drm3rRNWFTT0_Iok0R7mmuEib0oZPjmqcpChmavfotkCePTnrcK98TMxFXIdBwtXuKGcsZOC-Oc7hnihcptiOWF-CCOMLY_pZeWEwJmLVkOPDjgdl6H0n/s1600/DIY+Snowman+Shadow+Box+lighted.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1297" data-original-width="1600" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibSqFGRLCtuSGsXulIukbCmY9drm3rRNWFTT0_Iok0R7mmuEib0oZPjmqcpChmavfotkCePTnrcK98TMxFXIdBwtXuKGcsZOC-Oc7hnihcptiOWF-CCOMLY_pZeWEwJmLVkOPDjgdl6H0n/s320/DIY+Snowman+Shadow+Box+lighted.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<u>Step 9</u>:<br />
Once all the parts have dried, re-assemble the box.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz2VRKFf4kJDKRVUXibHNWgZF4fb6FEv9YaoCCqtr53S3BP8VOg-SVhAvIiSSRhHZvYS1usC_jTDk5V5UEljlyKOHZ0Q8O_Hauo2bDzEnDir-CmAFJ_qD8tpfOqQffs9CJwAueHhxbU-dP/s1600/IMG_5282.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz2VRKFf4kJDKRVUXibHNWgZF4fb6FEv9YaoCCqtr53S3BP8VOg-SVhAvIiSSRhHZvYS1usC_jTDk5V5UEljlyKOHZ0Q8O_Hauo2bDzEnDir-CmAFJ_qD8tpfOqQffs9CJwAueHhxbU-dP/s320/IMG_5282.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<u>Step 10</u>:<br />
Add the batteries and enjoy the shadow box.<br />

This was such a quick and easy project. It only took me two hours to finish the project. The cost of the shadow box itself was less than $10. I already had the Folk Art Multi Surface Paints and Folk Art Glitter Paint. You can find more ways to use the Folk Art paints at the <a href="https://plaidonline.com/brands/folkart/folkart-multisurfacepaint" target="_blank">Plaid</a> website where they list all types of fun projects and tutorials. Michael's Craft stores have these cute shadow boxes for each season. I can't wait to see what they make available for Valentines day and Easter.<br />

<i style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">NOTE: I do not work for Plaid or Michael's Craft Store. They have not paid me for this review. I just really love their product lines and enjoy using various items in my craft projects and art work. I have included Amazon Associate links to Amazon but you do not need to use them. You can just do a search on google to find the closest retailer to you that carries these paints. As for the shadow boxes, you can find those each season at the Michael's Craft stores. </i><br />

If you love holiday themed stickers then the November 2018 monthly delivery of the Stickii Club Retro Subscription pack is a must see. For those who are not familiar with the <a href="https://www.stickii.club/" target="_blank">Stickii Club</a>, it is a monthly subscription service that sends out themed stickers packs. They currently offer three choices:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Cute</li>
<li>Retro</li>
<li>and Pop</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Each pack features different styles of stickers with different themes. For those who are not sure about whether or not they would like a certain collection, the Stickii club has a great <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stickiiclub/" target="_blank">instagram</a> account where they feature previews of the upcoming sticker packs. Each pack is easily identifiable by their envelope.<br />

The packs usually feature a cute sticky paper pad that reflects the theme for the month. The price is really reasonable for what you get in these kits. I currently pay $11 or $12 a month for my subscription for the Retro pack. The price includes shipping which makes it a great deal for the amount of stickers in the packs. Also, so far each shipment has been filled with high quality stickers that include at least one sheet of gold or silver foiled stickers. <br />

The themes within each category change each month, so it is a good idea to follow the Stickii Club on their Instagram Account to see what the theme is going to be. <br />

The new Folk Art Multi-surface paint works on so many different types of surfaces: like glass, wood, multimedia papers, fabric, plastic, canvas, wood, and Terra Cotta. The paint has a really vibrant satin finish that really pops on light colored backgrounds. The paints are very versatile and friendly to the pocket book. You only need to buy a few colors to be able to create so many types of creative projects. I have a limited space in my house for art and craft supplies. I have been searching for a good multi-surface paint and am so glad that Plaid created these. I have been a big fan of the Plaid products since they came out with their gallery glass line. My experience with the Plaid Folk Art line has been very positive. I know I can rely on their products to give me great results. The collection above is the <a href="https://amzn.to/2ORqlh5" target="_blank">12 color Folk Art Multi-surface</a> set from Amazon which was a great deal at $19.97.</div>

The Plaid website states that the paints can also be used for outdoor projects. I have not tested that out yet, but I am looking forward to using the paints to create some fun holiday outdoor and indoor décor.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
If you love collecting Kawaii stickers or just some fun stickers with cool themes then you might enjoy some of the fun sticker collections offered by the Stickii Club. The <a href="https://www.stickii.club/" target="_blank">Stickii Club</a> offers both monthly subscriptions, as well as the opportunity to make a single purchase of past collections. Their website updates often with new offerings so you may want to visit it often to view new collections before they sell out.<br />
<br />
The Stickii Club offers three different style sticker subscription packs. They sell for about $10 plus shipping (which is really reasonable) and depending on the state you are in, you may be charged tax. The sticker collections come in a really nice plastic sleeve and is prepunched and can be added to most A5 size ringed planners. According to the Stickii Club website each pack may contain:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
The quality of the plastic sleeves is really nice. The sleeves have a couple of pockets to hold the stationary items and the flake packs. There is also a larger pocket to hold the sheets of stickers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcv_3BGuKlZmqxxTfxF4jXBeEYp10gYIeee-FGLVQDXcWwqYM3HUbjGRu3_gAuL9Ymh7yxxmsisrJaESs-teDy6ih-rwsXuI4U-wTIoUX9sy-1-XIrjvCX13sLzCZmAnn5dFyySrK_ray4/s1600/Stickii+Club+-+the+manor+collection.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1274" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcv_3BGuKlZmqxxTfxF4jXBeEYp10gYIeee-FGLVQDXcWwqYM3HUbjGRu3_gAuL9Ymh7yxxmsisrJaESs-teDy6ih-rwsXuI4U-wTIoUX9sy-1-XIrjvCX13sLzCZmAnn5dFyySrK_ray4/s320/Stickii+Club+-+the+manor+collection.jpg" width="254" /></a></div>
<br />
Another bonus, is that they include a set of triangle shaped stickers that can be adhered to the plastic sleeves so you can easily identify which set is in the sleeve. I put my sleeves in an A5 Ringed Planner Binder so this makes finding the right sticker so easy and efficient.<br />

<br />
There are three choices of sticker packs to choose from:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Cute,</li>
<li>Retro </li>
<li>and Pop</li>
</ul>
<br />
You can subscribe to just one or to all three. I subscribe to just two but I like that they do sell past sets on their site so I can purchase any that really appeal to me. My favorite are the Retro Collections. Below are two of my favorite past sets from the Stickii Club <a href="https://www.stickii.club/shop/product/1524651469" target="_blank">Making Memories Collection</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
and the Stickii Club Gothic Literature Collection (they are sold out of this one). Below are some of the stickers that were included in the Stickii Club Making Memories Collection (they still have a few available on the website).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I also really love the tiny framed artwork stickers below. I can not remember which collection they were in but they are my favorites. They fit perfectly in the monthly boxes of my Hobonichi Weeks planner. They are small without losing any of details. The quality of this sheet of stickers is great.<br />

<br />
I have included some links to the Stickii Club site which are just for your convenience. I do not make any money at all from them. Check out there site and see some of the cute and retro stickers that they have available. Also, if you are curious as to what they are going to release next month, just check out their <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stickiiclub/" target="_blank">instagram</a>. They post peeks and previews of the new collections and some of their new sticker sheets there.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>Disclaimer: I do not work for Stickii Club nor is this post sponsored. I paid for my stickii sets and subscriptions with my own money. This is just my opinion of their collections which you may or may not agree with. The best way to figure if it is a good match for you is to experience their sticker sets for yourself. </b></i><br />

The interior of the standard size <a href="https://amzn.to/2MyNCTW" target="_blank">Paper House Unicorn Journal Book Cover</a> (5"x8.75") has 4 elastics which will hold four books. However, if you use some elastics, you can add additional inserts to the cover. Below is a look at the interior which has two side pockets.<br />

<i>Note: I do not work for Paper House Productions. I paid for this kit with my own money. These are my opinions and experience with this kit. Your opinions and experience may vary from mine. Also, the links to Amazon sometimes pay me a few pennies (literally I have so far not made more than $5 a month from my links). I place them for both your convenience and to make a very small amount of money to pay for some of the items I purchase to review. </i><br />

The Ranger Dylusions Dyalog Canvas Covers and inserts feature original artwork by Dyan Reavely. If you love her designs, then you will enjoy the collection of covers, inserts, pocket inserts, and washi tape. The line features several canvas covers that measure 5.875" x 8.75" folded. Each Cover has two interior elastics. <br />

These canvas covers are little bit larger than the standard travelers notebook covers which allows for extra inserts to be placed into the journals using elastic bands. I added a total of four with some of the pocket inserts and the cover folded over them well.<br />

I also picked up a package of <a href="https://amzn.to/2w1CTMn" target="_blank">Dylusions Dylalog pocket inserts</a>. The Ranger Dylusions Dyalog Pocket inserts come in packages of 3 inserts.<br />

The smaller slots cut inside of each pocket can hold a paper clip or business cards (the slot is supposed to be cut to a standard business card size). I tried mine and they fit fine but mine are cut a little smaller than most standard cards.<br />

I was lucky enough to take a class from Dyan Reavely at a trade show (a few years ago) and she is amazing. If you ever get a chance to take a class from her, she is a fun teacher with some great techniques that she generously shares with her students. As a fan of travelers notebooks and journals, I love this new line which adds color and patterns into the mix. The Dylusions Travelers Notebook and Accessories line can also be found on Amazon. If you pick up any of her stamp sets, she has some great examples of pages she created using them on the <a href="http://dyan-reaveley.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Dyan Reavely blogspot</a>.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Note: I do not work for Ranger, Dyan Reavely, or JoAnns. I just really like this line and wanted to share a bit of information with you. Also, I have added some links to Amazon that may provide a few cents back to support this blog. You don't have to use them. You can just run a search on google to find out more information on the product line or to purchase them</i></b>. <br />

If you have every wanted to attend one of those fun painting party, paint and sip, girls night out painting events or just plain paint, then you are going to love the free live painting class being hosted by Plaid on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1993062667672824/" target="_blank">facebook page</a> feed. </div>
<div style="color: #e4af0a; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="color: #454545;"><br /></span><span style="color: #454545;">The theme is Learn to Paint: ‘Peace, Love & Avocado's’ a Live Stream Paint Along. </span><span style="color: #454545;">It is hosted by Plaid Crafts on: </span><span style="color: #454545;">Thursday, August 2, 2018 at 7:30 pm Eastern (4:30 pm Pacific time). The limited time discount code is: PWPAUGUST2018 for 30% off (check website for any limitations).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #454545;">You may already have some of these colors for this month's theme. The list of suggested Folk Art Paints can be found on the <a href="https://plaidonline.com/promotions/pwpaug2018?utm_campaign=pwpaug2018&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social" target="_blank">Plaid website</a> .</span><br />
<span style="color: #454545;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #454545;">In addition, you may need some of the following</span><br />
<span style="color: #454545;"><br /></span>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic", CenturyGothic, AppleGothic, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://plaidonline.com/Plaid/media/PlaidLibrary/projectImages/PaintWithPlaid_August_Avocado-Photo-with-Grid_.pdf" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ea002a; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">Grid avocado pattern</a></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">12" x 12" stretched canvas ( I am painting this on wood)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Palette</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Water basin</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Paper towels</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Stencil tape</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Hair dryer (optional)<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 14px;">.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />
The costs of the supplies is around $30 but if you already have some of them then it is less. However, I think this is a great deal. I have paid $45 for a painting class and that amount only paid for the class and not the supplies. So for me a less than $30 (I already own some of the paint colors) investment for my daughter and I do to the painting class is a great deal. <br />

Anyway, this month they are doing something new, by incorporating sand and seashells into the project. I don't have a lot of table space in my house so I have to limit the display items I have. I am loving that this is a painting and I can hang it on the wall. I think it will be fun to display it on my wall to bring a little of the beach into the home. By the way, if you end up painting the project, don't forget to use the hashtag <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/paintwithplaid" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">#PaintWithPlaid</a> so that they can see what everyone has created. </div>

<br />
I went to Hobby Lobby this week and was able to score some great art journal supplies at a deep discount and keep within my art budget. As you know, art supplies can be expensive. I am taking an art class at my local college. For these classes the teacher prepares a list of supplies needed to complete all the assignments. This does become expensive. After going to Michaels, JoAnns and the Art Supply Warehouse, I end up having to spend around $150 for those supplies. I know I will be taking more classes so now I keep a look out for sales and discounts. <br />
<br />
I find out that the Hobby Lobby by my house has been clearing a lot of their merchandise out of the store. The shelves are not very stocked and so many of the products used to purchase have disappeared from the store. I found that Hobby Lobby can be expensive when it comes to art supplies (painting, drawing and art journaling) so I did not buy anything there when I was getting my kit together for school last January. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWP8lq5d87AmgMCvH8OlVGZpFfI7TTJeK8UboJUDthXfcar-zqOnsaXs0X8GOBLqhrEjHMCRKXFjkKcpOj62v5zdD5uDt1lbz7EksSnvcXIIQhFJIPtUlF6fh4CbVYgZHMPfpTdbV1mqm-/s1600/Staedtler+Color+Pens.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWP8lq5d87AmgMCvH8OlVGZpFfI7TTJeK8UboJUDthXfcar-zqOnsaXs0X8GOBLqhrEjHMCRKXFjkKcpOj62v5zdD5uDt1lbz7EksSnvcXIIQhFJIPtUlF6fh4CbVYgZHMPfpTdbV1mqm-/s320/Staedtler+Color+Pens.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I was really surprised to find a set of Stadler color pencil sets at extremely discounted prices. I paid $1.24 for a box of 24 colour pencils. I paid $2.99 for a Johanna Basford Colouring Canvas. It is reinforced so that the user can use colour pencils to fill in the color of the canvas. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I bought two of the canvases. I am a fan of Johanna Basford's artwork and thought these would be great to hang them without coloring them in.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH_NHTgKtU3zMMftvwgTChQS996togQntz2Lir4h5fTo8YcAqDZULih-MHbazzAE1x9fuE8L6jIfc5aRKFIf-16sUxLGQkmOMj7fl4BuzsPbnnonYZvMRU-KOzlpOHIcNcMqbE5IHmEPP2/s1600/Faber-Castell+Colored+Pencils.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH_NHTgKtU3zMMftvwgTChQS996togQntz2Lir4h5fTo8YcAqDZULih-MHbazzAE1x9fuE8L6jIfc5aRKFIf-16sUxLGQkmOMj7fl4BuzsPbnnonYZvMRU-KOzlpOHIcNcMqbE5IHmEPP2/s320/Faber-Castell+Colored+Pencils.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I also picked up a colored pencil set from Faber-Castell and their Eco Pencil line. The box above was marked down to $2.49 for a box of 24 Grip EcoPencils. The grip is little dots on the pencil that makes it easier to hold.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I got a box of 24 triangular Color Pencils with a break resistant lead for $1.74. That is a pretty big markdown. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZVOtK2Bx_Y4tDhLdiPpMDkq78KMj0nth2evJPMtfyRskCjWzfUa5FHePrdMKBVQePoEVESCvaNkVGZnsmviVSVWuLn0NmlUnegcA-XI7YuuF2rlPM6WTgYSu8gC21XJTm7iFW_EqkUuRX/s1600/IMG_0496.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="961" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZVOtK2Bx_Y4tDhLdiPpMDkq78KMj0nth2evJPMtfyRskCjWzfUa5FHePrdMKBVQePoEVESCvaNkVGZnsmviVSVWuLn0NmlUnegcA-XI7YuuF2rlPM6WTgYSu8gC21XJTm7iFW_EqkUuRX/s400/IMG_0496.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The next box is a box of 12 Metallic Colored EcoPencils for $1.74. They are pretty fun to use on black or brown paper. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdMOvXMl2lo-4shIwKMuD6_Y8rBV8uKXE4qVMyn-E8dt_8Ricq1ZX4vKITDnOLkJtmCfqUEwDzuK0CaMIKh2qwm95DUHoJydhgyrbF7fM5SoLddUn119ZzyLeoXWMnQP5oPtUPETzJycY/s1600/IMG_0503.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdMOvXMl2lo-4shIwKMuD6_Y8rBV8uKXE4qVMyn-E8dt_8Ricq1ZX4vKITDnOLkJtmCfqUEwDzuK0CaMIKh2qwm95DUHoJydhgyrbF7fM5SoLddUn119ZzyLeoXWMnQP5oPtUPETzJycY/s400/IMG_0503.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I also got a set of Royal & Langnickel Black Taklon Paint brushes for $3.49. I also found a Royal & Langnickel Water Color set for $2.49 which came with a pad of watercolor paper, 10 watercolor tubes, a plastic pallet, 2 brushes, and a spatula type tool.<br />
<br />
I was able to pick up quite a lot of supplies that I can use for practicing what I am learning at school. I have to save my expensive art quality supplies for assignments that I turn in to the teacher. Being able to take advantage of these mark downs was great and I will get a lot of use from them.<br />
<br />

The Tuesday Morning Stores are a great resource for buying art journaling and travelers journal supplies at a discount. I recently did another shopping challenge with my friend to see what items I could purchase at the store without exceeding the budget. The one rule we have is that we do not purchase anything that we truly will not use.</div>

The first item that I bought was a Dina Wakley Ranger Stamp & Stencil Set (Essential Sihouttes) for $4.99. This set sells for around $12.99 on Amazon. I enjoy the Dina Walkley line and getting this set at that price was a cool score. I will use these in my art journal and planners. Below is a close up of the stamps. They have some fun details.</div>

I did not find anything else that I needed or wanted. The total with tax came out to less than $8 which was below the $10 budget we had set for the day. I think it was a pretty good haul for the amount I had to spend.

You can find a great assortment of products at the Plaid site but the coupon is only good from Friday, Mary 18 through Sunday, May 20th. They coupon is for 40% off Mod Podge products with a $60 purchase. I use a lot of the Plaid window painting products so it is pretty easy to get to the $60 dollar mark. So if you are a fan of the product line, it is a good time to stock up.<br />

When you attend the <a href="https://ca.pinnersconference.com/" target="_blank">Pinners Conference </a>you have a choice of 5 different ticket categories which are:<br />

Below is a brief review of the classes that I took at the 2018 California Pinners Conference this last April. I pre-signed up for each class in advance so that I could assure myself a seat and also be able to pre-purchase the optional kits. Anyway, I love the various lettering styles of different artists. Since there was a huge selection of classes at this show, I decided that I
would take a few lettering classes at the conference from different
people. I thought this would be good way to be exposed to new ideas and
techniques. I also took some other crafting and painting classes but I will discuss the lettering ones first.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
1) The first lettering class I took was "Intro to Modern Lettering" which was taught by <a href="https://mariebrowning.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Marie Browning</a> and sponsored by <a href="https://tombowusa.com/" target="_blank">Tombow</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You know Tombow has some fabulous<a href="https://tombowusa.com/craft/markers.html" target="_blank"> pens</a> and markers so it is not a surprise that they would have a class at the Pinners Conference to introduce their products to fans of lettering. The class offered an optional kit for $20 which I purchased (you find it the <a href="https://amzn.to/2JEoavA" target="_blank">pens and markers set</a> on Amazon). You can see the contents in the photo below. It was definitely a good value. If you buy the set on Amazon, don't forget to visit the Tombow site for the free downloads.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Anyway, Marie Browning taught us various ways to hold the pen to get different results. For those that were new to the Tombow pens, Marie explained the two different brush tips on the pens and how they can be best utilized in lettering.<br />

<br />
She also offered some great tips on how to do some color blending using the Tombow Markers and other interesting accents to make our lettering more colorful. Maria also told us about some of the free down loadable practice <a href="https://tombowusa.com/tips-techniques-projects/lettering-worksheets.html" target="_blank">lettering Sheets</a> that are available at the Tombow site. She included a discount code for future purchases in the kit.

2) The second lettering class I took was "<a href="https://amzn.to/2l5VDV5" target="_blank">Intro to Modern Calligraphy</a>" taught by <a href="https://www.thepigeonletters.com/" target="_blank">Peggy Dean</a> (The Pigeon Letters').<br />

<br />
She had a very different style from Marie Browning. Her focus was how to create a more consistent alphabet. She encouraged us to practice daily to improve our lettering style. She also offered an optional kit for $25. You can see what is in the kit below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The <a href="https://www.thepigeonletters.com/shop" target="_blank">Ultimate Brush Lettering Guide</a> in the photo was a separate purchase and features more ideas and tips. Again, I thought the kit was a good value because I can never have enough pens and brush markers. I go through a lot of them when I practice. She also has some fun free downloads on her site that include some lettering worksheets on her <a href="https://www.thepigeonletters.com/practice-sheets" target="_blank">website</a>.<br />

3) The third lettering class I took was "Brush Lettering and Doodling" which was taught by Marie Browning. Now I know I already took a class from her but this was slightly different. This class also offered an optional kit for $20 which is in the picture below. The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075VD1MYZ/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=keep0cd-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B075VD1MYZ&linkId=e31ad13209c110feae712bf4b7b4610e" target="_blank">Tomboy Twin Tone</a> markers can be found at Amazon.<br />

<br />
I am really glad I signed up for it because she offered some great tips in the class and her techniques were really helpful. I have a hard time with doodles but by the end of the class, I was able to recreate the more simple designs and learn how to combine them with my lettering projects.<br />

<br />
4) The fourth and last lettering class was "Modern Brush Lettering Workshop" taught by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFZIBRFI0pdwW33E-qSpgmA" target="_blank">Shelly Kim</a> (Letters by Shell). She also offered an optional kit for $25 which included some workbook pages, pens other tools. The <a href="https://amzn.to/2rUkj5U" target="_blank">Tomboy Fudenosude Brush pens</a> can be found on Amazon.<br />
She sells other kits on her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/523903002/calligraphy-kit-brush-lettering-kit?ref=unav_listing-other-2" target="_blank">Etsy</a> page. The photo below shows what came in the kit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1QR2MORkfzlDuQLGPToIEmTV9w6KHF1vYVsDQaBIuyADcz8ZP9uXbktSWp76B0SmYBtPqssxS-1fuKXl6pOUqb4RFOZFowzUlx5U2yXrsZkBm85TcfL-lhrCs51hn6vDMLA_GtoubTKab/s1600/shelly+kim.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1QR2MORkfzlDuQLGPToIEmTV9w6KHF1vYVsDQaBIuyADcz8ZP9uXbktSWp76B0SmYBtPqssxS-1fuKXl6pOUqb4RFOZFowzUlx5U2yXrsZkBm85TcfL-lhrCs51hn6vDMLA_GtoubTKab/s400/shelly+kim.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Shelly Kim had a completely different approach to lettering and focuses on the harder letters. This was really helpful to me because I have been struggling with letters like "K". She gave us tips on how to hold the brush pens and markers at certain angles to get the best line thickness when working on a curve.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidy6aqNtnRJGliZGWVyw9inOUsEH4qgMkdPz94yKCnjVJE_eL01-28Uqr95ZqogoDjEnVeT2HN1fvQfv0cbk3DJ5K6O06GUVUVwNIah0WDCHTx0cIbw4KR48p0fKFx-Z-ZSDVr7lgeLlh8/s1600/shelly+Kims+Brush+Lettering.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidy6aqNtnRJGliZGWVyw9inOUsEH4qgMkdPz94yKCnjVJE_eL01-28Uqr95ZqogoDjEnVeT2HN1fvQfv0cbk3DJ5K6O06GUVUVwNIah0WDCHTx0cIbw4KR48p0fKFx-Z-ZSDVr7lgeLlh8/s320/shelly+Kims+Brush+Lettering.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Those tips were so helpful. I am so glad I took so many different lettering classes because I feel they really helped me on my lettering journey.<br />
<br />
5) The fifth class I took was Botanical Line Drawing" which was taught by Peggy Dean (The Pigeon Letters'). I mentioned before that I struggle with line drawing and this class was completely focused on that. Peggy Dean offered an optional class kit for $20. You can see the contents of this kit in the photo below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have to say that I really enjoyed this class. Peggy Dean has a very relaxed teaching style that makes it fun to learn new skills.<br />

<br />
<br />
6) The sixth class was ""Say It On Your Wrist with a Personalized Metal Stamped Bracelet" taught by - Brittani Willnauer from @kansascitykreations (on Instagram) using Impress Art tools to make personalized metal stamped bracelets. I choose to purchase the optional class kit which was $35.00. As
you can see in the picture below, we got a really good selection of
supplies for that amount of money.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDG25faK-CfvuVOI0JYTCJqMCOK1o3YtyyDSJQzW_6bUZZVOcAQ8_Csvk5wAgech0QP42mEsavVWaZ-5mdIth_4a5GOoE9pJbOqMTYiI-EHud1gsKkBrbkQmV0RJzwIvT6rVo5wvFGkxOO/s1600/%2540kansascitykreations.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDG25faK-CfvuVOI0JYTCJqMCOK1o3YtyyDSJQzW_6bUZZVOcAQ8_Csvk5wAgech0QP42mEsavVWaZ-5mdIth_4a5GOoE9pJbOqMTYiI-EHud1gsKkBrbkQmV0RJzwIvT6rVo5wvFGkxOO/s320/%2540kansascitykreations.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I had priced some of these metal stamping supplies at Michaels and Hobby
Lobby and found the kit to be a great value for me. We used a different
hammer than the Impress Art tools that I really liked. I have small
hands and this hammer worked better for me. Although I will still
probably purchase the Impress Art Texture hammer in the future, even
though it is awkward for me to hold on to well. I really like the Impress Art brand and their tools, especially the selection of fonts they
offer to use with metal stamping.<br />

<br />
Warning: I should warn you if you take a similar class at your local Pinners Conference, this class is noisy. We are pounding on metal so if you have sensitive hearing, you might want to wear some ear plugs.<br />
<br />
This was a really fun class. We shared some tools which actually was a great idea because I got to talk and meet some fun ladies. Also, Brittani was such a good teacher and shared some really great tips with us on the various types of metal blanks we can buy and how you have utilize the tools to get the desired results on the various sizes of blanks and styles. She also gave us tips on using other supplies to help us be more creative while staying within a budget making these bracelets. If you don't have time to make your own personalized metal pieces, Brittani does have an Etsy store where she personalizes items.<br />

7) The seventh class I took was “Coffee Sleeve” class from Tandy Leather. Tandy Leather offered several classes at the California Pinners Conference. I took the This class gave me the opportunity to make a personalized coffee sleeve for myself. The class kit was free. As you can see in the picture below, it offered us most of the supplies we needed to complete the kit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Tandy Leather people also provided us with tools to share during the class to make it a bit more personalized. These are some of the more popular metals stamps that people start with. In the photo below, you can see how my table partner used them to finish her piece. <br />

I have used Tandy Leather products since high school to make personalized gifts
and some cosplay pieces. This is such a great company and they work hard to
keep their products affordable. Additionally, the quality of their
tools is great. Anyway, they also had some fun “Make and Take” projects at
the booth that you can see on my "Make & Take" post from the show.<br />

8) The next class I took was " Intro to Wood Burning" offered by Rachel Straus from Wood Burn Corner. I had stopped at her booth before the class. It was so inspiring to see all the cool things that she wood burns. I never really got into wood burning before and I had not realized just how fun and creative it can be. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJsh9dau-qbxO5CmNGnSRhQ3ajbGa7ewRanxm-ey6xN9EzGSuo14a3XV7ozhWNDi_Y_E7f5swt5W8ozxMlIPl3o6tHZq8RHQ6VVnEv6SWEvfZv_XJKkEbHiGhS5mfx8QdZwz6t7228vuNB/s1600/Rachel+Straus+from+Wood+Burn+Corner..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJsh9dau-qbxO5CmNGnSRhQ3ajbGa7ewRanxm-ey6xN9EzGSuo14a3XV7ozhWNDi_Y_E7f5swt5W8ozxMlIPl3o6tHZq8RHQ6VVnEv6SWEvfZv_XJKkEbHiGhS5mfx8QdZwz6t7228vuNB/s320/Rachel+Straus+from+Wood+Burn+Corner..jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Rachel Straus's wood burning class offered an optional kit for $50. The kit was really cool. It included:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Walnut Hollow Versatool wood burner</li>
<li>a hand full of different types of wood</li>
<li>an embossing tool</li>
<li>a Tombow sand eraser</li>
<li>graphite paper</li>
<li>washi tape</li>
<li>Tany Leather sanding block</li>
<li>A Wood Burn Corner tote bag</li>
<li>and some of her original designs (drawings) to try. </li>
</ul>
Her class was not a hands-on class but more of an information class. I think a roomful wood burners would have been a slight bit dangerous. I got a lot of new information from her class on how to use the different tips. Additionally, she really went into detail over the different types of wood and some tips on working with them to get great results. This was truly an informative class and I was so glad I took it.<br />
<br />
9) On Saturday I took a "Card Making with Kits" sponsored by Spellbinders. They included a free card kit with these class that was amazing. You can see the kit in the photo below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<li>ephemera</li>
<li>glue dots</li>

<br />
I am including some pics of the sample card and some of the cards others made in class. This was also a really fun class to take.<br />
<br />
<i>Tip: it might be a good idea to bring your scissors, glue and pencils to class (if you live locally because you cannot bring scissors onto plains anymore). </i><br />
<br />
Since some folks were from other states, they did lend out scissors and paper cutters but we did have to share between 90 to 100 people. So it took a while to complete the card. Thankfully, I did bring my own emergency crafting kit but most people did not and wished they had<i>.</i><br />
<br />
10) On Sunday I went to the second "Card Making with Kits" sponsored by Spellbinders. This class also included a
free card kit that was amazing. You can see the kit in
the photo below.<br />

The color scheme on this kit was black, gold and white. It was so different from the Saturday kit. The kit also<br />

11) I also took the "How to Stock Your Bar at Home & Secrets to Making the Perfect Cocktail" taught by Mandy Lanefeld.<br />

<br />
This class did not have a kit. The presentation room was filled with folks who were having a great time. The information Many shared with us was great.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I like to make Mocktails (substituting Kombucha instead of alcohol) and I got plenty of great ideas for using the Stirrings products to make future fun Mocktail drinks. Mandy Landefeld has a great personality and made us laugh so much. She also had Instagram contests during the class and I got to win a blue tote with some Margarita salt in it. It was really cute and the salt is perfect to use for Mocktails.<br />

It is pretty easy to fill up your schedule with classes back to back. Luckily, there is an app to help with figuring out my schedule and logging which classes I am taking. It was really easy to use and a real help in keeping on schedule for all my classes.<br />

<br />
Personally, I really wanted to attend the Kombucha making class but I needed to have a few hours free to shop and check out some of the fun booths at the show. I did not get to attend it but I hope they offer one at the next Pinners Conference.<br />
<br />
The classes I signed up for were included in my VIP Pinners ticket. I choose to purchase the optional kits but I could have easily brought my own supplies from home. I have to compliment the creators of the Pinners Conference for offering such a great selection of classes and for the really wonderful staff. The Pinners staff were so kind and helpful. It was such a fun event and I can't wait to attend next year.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Disclaimer</b>: I am not associated with Pinners. I purchased my tickets and kits with my own hard earned cash. </i><i>These opinions are my own and may vary from someone else. </i><br />

I have attended a lot of meet ups over the last three years and the Whimsy Planner Meetups in Carlsbad, California are one of my favorites to attend because they usually include a tutorial/ project, a cute handmade gift tag that can be used for my memory book, a snack, beverages and use of the crafting equipment that Michelle sets up for us to use. <br />

She provides beverages and a snack. Everyone is encouraged to bring a some snacks to share. I usually bring a large veggie tray with dip (from Costco) to keep me on my diet and help me avoid some of the fabulous sweet treats that are usually there. <br />

Of course, everyone brings their planners to work on. It is pretty cool to see the various types of planners that people use. Travelers Notebooks with monthly and weekly inserts are getting more and more popular. I took my <a href="https://www.leatherquillshoppe.com/" target="_blank">Leather Quill</a> Travelers Notebook which holds both my water color supplies and my weekly insert so I could work on both.<br />

During each meet up, Michelle offers a fun DIY project that is themed in accordance to which ever holiday may be coming up. The last one I attended was just before St. Patricks day (March 2018), so ours had a very green theme. Michelle also made us each a really cute name tag which you can see in the photo below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There is also the usual gift exchange with the value depending on the limit set by Michelle. In addition to the the gift exchange, there is usually a swap. If you have never attended a planner meet up, they usually hold swaps which are items that vary in value. Most attendees make their swaps which can be pins, pens, stickers and planner clips. I like to have a variety of items to swap, because I do tend to run into the same people at these events and want to swap items that they do not already have. For the last swap I offered a choice of charms, felt planner clips or a fun travelers notebook dangle. I enjoy collecting the swap items I receive because I have found that they can be unique, as well as functional. There are so many creative people who are into planner meet ups so the type of items swapped can truly vary. Below is a sample of some of the swap items I received.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The other reason to attend the planner meet ups is that I find that I meet some of the nicest people.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is also fun to see all the different planners and their uses. I have one friend who had a planner that<br />
she uses only to plan sewing projects. It is pretty cool how she lays out her projects. Another friend uses her planner for budget planning and grocery shopping. Her planner is an insert because she likes to switch them out each month to keep it from getting too thick. The "Whimsy Planner Meet Up" is a lot of fun and located in Carlsbad California (very near the outlets). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The price of each of the planner meet-up is incredibly reasonable at $10. It is a very casual atmosphere and they are held in an outdoor tent so there is plenty of room for everyone to layout out their planning supplies and work on their planners. <br />

<i><b>Note: I learned a great lesson at this particular meet up from an established artist. I tend to bring too much stuff (supplies) and always end up not using them. She explained the best way to get stuff accomplish is to set small goals. She was right. Now I think about what I want to work on and bring only the supplies needed to do that. I found that I am taking a lot less supplies with me to these meet-ups and getting more accomplished. I still find time to meet new people and chat. Also, I am not sponsored nor associated with Whimsy or Polkadot Studios. I just love her "Whimsy Planner Meet ups" and the "Whimsy Weekend" crafting weekends. </b></i></div>

The "Wind Chime Studio" stencils are made of 7 mil thick plastic that is perfect for a variety of crafts which include card making, painting, decorating planners, and airbrushing. The plastic is see-through which makes it easy to work with. The plastic stencils are also very flexible which makes it perfect for using them to airbrush makeup. Nancy Ibsen, the owner of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WindChimeStudio?ref=ss_profile" target="_blank">Wind Chime Studio</a>, sent me a couple to test out and see if they would work for my particular projects. <br />

<b><i><u>Test 1 - Koi Fish Painting</u></i></b>:<br />
<br />
The first stencil I tested was the Two Part Koi Fish Stencil. The outline stencil offers the outline and the actual Koi fish cut out which can be used as a mask for various painting techniques. Part 2 of the stencil set is the Koi fish detail stencil. Nancy Ibsen, the owner of Wind Chime Studio has included two square registrations on the plastic stencils that can be used to properly line up the detail stencil over the Koi Fish outline stencil. If you look that the photo below, you can see the two registration squares.<br />

<u>Koi Fish Painting Tutorial</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>Supplies:</u><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Canvas</li>
<li>Bright colored paints</li>
<li>Paint brushes</li>
<li>Stencil Tape</li>
<li>Koi Fish Stencil and the "Botanical Stencil"</li>
<li>Black Pigma Ink Brush Pen</li>
<li>Glitter glue or glitter gel pens</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<u>Step 1</u>:<br />
Take the cut-out part of the two part <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/505899161/two-part-koi-stencil-fish-stencil-art?ref=shop_home_active_10" target="_blank">Koi Fish stencil</a> (you will find the fish inside the outline stencil or it might be lose in your package). Tape down the Koi fish cut-out and paint around it. I used removable tape on one side of the fish to hold it in place. If you don't have removable adhesive, you can always just hold it in place while painting around it. This step allowed me to have a clean white base to make sure the Koi Fish colors were not mixed with the outer colors. One you finish painting around the stencil, remove the cut out before the paint dries to avoid streaking the paint. <br />

<br />
<br />
<u>Step 2</u>:<br />
Tape down the outline stencil. Paint the Koi fish with some peach and orange paint to create the Koi Fish base color (or use any color you like). Allow the paint to dry before you do step 3.<br />
<br />
<u>Step 3</u>:<br />
Take the detail stencil and place it on top of the outline stencil. Once you line up the registrations, tape the stencil down to keep it from moving. Use a darker color paint to add the detail to the Koi Fish. Remove the stencils and allow the paint to dry. Don't forget to clean the stencils.<br />

<br />
<u>Step 4</u>:<br />
Add more details to the picture by using the "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/475341614/botanical-art-nouveau-stencil-geometric?ref=shop_home_active_15" target="_blank">Botanical Art Nouveau Stencil</a>". This is a single stencil so you don't need to worry about lining up any of the registrations. Just decided where you want the plants to be and tape it down before painting. Once you finish painting the plants, remove the stencils and allow the paint to dry.<br />

Add any additional detail you may want to the painting. I decided to out line the flowers with colored markers. I also added some <a href="http://amzn.to/2FxUWMS" target="_blank">glitter glue</a> to parts of the fish to make it look more dimensional.<br />

<b><i><u>Test 2 - Planner Decorating</u></i></b>:<br />
<br />
I use a Hobonichi planner which is made of Tomoe River paper. The Tomoe River paper is 52 gsm which is great for Fountain Pens but can be tricky when using stickers. The planner I used last year got pretty thick from all the stickers and washi tape I added to it. Since then, I have been searching for a way to decorate the pages without adding so much bulk. I was interested to see if I could add designs and color into my Hobonichi planners without the added bulk by using the Wind Chime Studio stencils in my Hobonichi Weeks planner. I decided to test the "Cherry Blossoms" stencil from the Wind Chime Studio collection". <br />
<br />
I taped the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/551878110/cherry-blossoms-stencil-botanical?ref=shop_home_active_8" target="_blank">Cherry Blossom</a> stencil down using <a href="http://amzn.to/2Fzf1Tc" target="_blank">stencil tape</a>. Since the paper on my Hobonichi is so thin, I removed some of the adhesive from the tape by putting it on my hands then removing it. The oil from my skin made the tape less sticky and less likely to tear the Tomoe River paper.<br />

<br />
<br />
I used the Tim Holtz Ranger <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Bundle/dp/B00L7EXJ8S/ref=pd_bxgy_201_img_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00L7EXJ8S&pd_rd_r=5N8MGMJR4SMVBK59X9T7&pd_rd_w=oICnm&pd_rd_wg=GFfAf&psc=1&refRID=5N8MGMJR4SMVBK59X9T7" target="_blank">Distress Inks</a> and the <a href="http://amzn.to/2p6WGG4" target="_blank">blending tool</a> to blend the color onto the paper. I wanted to be able to write over the design, so I decided to stick to light colors. I began to add the Tim Holtz Ranger Distress inks one at a time. Since the stencil is so thin, the application went smoothly. I love how I was able to achieve these results.<br />

<br />
<br />
After I had stenciled on the inks, I added some details using the Sakura <a href="http://amzn.to/2FJn1nC" target="_blank">Pigma Micron Ink Pens</a>. I love how they came out. I could have left the flowers as they were without the black ink outlines and it would have been great too. By not adding dark colored inks, I did not lose any writing space on my pages. I use the Hobonichi Weeks, the Hobonichi Techo, and the Jibun Techo which all have the same wonderful thin paper. I love that I will be able to use this stencil line in all of them and be able to decorate them without losing writing space nor making the pages too thick.<br />

<br />
<b><i><u>Test 3 - Air Brushing Make Up</u></i></b>:<br />
My daughter has done school events where she needed to air brush a lot of kids in a short period of time. She always needs an assortment easy to use stencils that allow her to cover a large area of the forehead or face. We decided to test out the "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/468728006/milky-way-stencil-stars-stencil-hexagon?ref=shop_home_active_19" target="_blank">Milky Way Stars</a>" stencil and see how well it would work for these type of events. Since the plastic that these stencils are made from are fairly thin, this makes them very flexible. She was able to bend them to use for airbrushing makeup onto skin. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacP4yDEKcyoi7wVJU9iKotlLGqhJ819-LY2A0h-XqsBygV04bXGFAjay-WnpffuaTiz_G_ef4SGFvp-6gF6gmB7EG8uSE9YeecuqjL4AdDS7PXJSYT7F135u9sPQyp-KYYB8wPukVIIwx/s1600/stenciled+makeup.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="498" data-original-width="928" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacP4yDEKcyoi7wVJU9iKotlLGqhJ819-LY2A0h-XqsBygV04bXGFAjay-WnpffuaTiz_G_ef4SGFvp-6gF6gmB7EG8uSE9YeecuqjL4AdDS7PXJSYT7F135u9sPQyp-KYYB8wPukVIIwx/s400/stenciled+makeup.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Since she usually has so many kids to do, she tends to stick to one color per person. Then after airbrushing the makeup on, she usually accents the design with some glitter (specially made for using in make up applications). She used the "Milky Way Stars" stencil for a onstage demonstration at school and she found that this stencil worked great for her.<br />
<br />
Nancy Ibsen sent me a note to let me know that she will be creating some smaller stencils that will be easier to use for airbrushing makeup. We enjoy applying fantasy makeup (fairies, witches, etc) for Halloween and Comic Con and stencils make it so easy to do various effects with the airbrush. I can't wait to see what new airbrushed makeup stencils she releases. Makeup stencils can be expensive and I found the prices at the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WindChimeStudio?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Wind Chime Studio</a> Etsy store to be really reasonable. If you are interested in seeing more of her designs, you can find her at www.etsy.com/shop/WindChimeStudio. <br />
<br />
<i><b><u>Note:</u></b> I was not paid to do this review. Nancy Ibsen sent me some of her stencils for me to test out and review.</i><br />

The weekend includes some lunches, snacks, and dinners that are prepared by Michelle. You are not limited to what is offered, there are various restaurants and stores in the area where you can pick up your own meals if you like. Since I do not cook, it was rather cool to eat the delicious homemade meals that were prepared for us instead of having to order fast food.

Several of the ladies attending brought their <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiMbeK0-OY_Ifd9isRCPs-yXQXvGan2Aen26FYKwQbA9lqZymSulZtwKgp99pF1Z4SJwZ4kpEWwjXDt6Yt1aCZEnjNuqSVlq1XG2pjJ8qtPYJFL4-34XI-drrEbVx5J-TQLsVQM1_SQVoj/s1600/Hello+Kitty+Janome+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="837" data-original-width="1280" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiMbeK0-OY_Ifd9isRCPs-yXQXvGan2Aen26FYKwQbA9lqZymSulZtwKgp99pF1Z4SJwZ4kpEWwjXDt6Yt1aCZEnjNuqSVlq1XG2pjJ8qtPYJFL4-34XI-drrEbVx5J-TQLsVQM1_SQVoj/s320/Hello+Kitty+Janome+Sewing+Machine.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

sewing machines to use to work on various projects and designs. One person had a cool Beginner Style <a href="http://amzn.to/2ti4V7h" target="_blank">Janome Sewing machine</a> that so cute. I love that you can get a sewing machine in a variety of <a href="http://amzn.to/2oLiiZ5" target="_blank">colors</a> and styles. I especially liked Keely Reichman's black sewing machine. It is made of heavy metal and can sew a variety of materials. It look pretty sturdy.<br />

She also had an outside area set up in a tent that had different machines available to use during the event. This included a sewing machine, iron, glue gun, Cameo, paper cutters and other fun items.<br />

We also did two fun "Make & Take" projects that Michelle prepared for us to make. The first one was a really cute DIY Easter Rabbit Frame project. Michelle provided all the materials and each person was invited to make the project adding their own personal touch to it. It was a success.<br />

The Whimsy Weekends are a lot of fun. Michelle is a wonderful host who really works hard at making sure her guests have a fun time. We enjoyed the wonderful meals she prepared, the fun projects we got to make. The whole weekend is just a fun atmosphere that it just seemed to fly by too quickly. My friends and I had a great time there and hope to go back again soon.<br />

a little bit on Sunday.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Note:</b> I recommend that you get a hotel that is not close to the freeway so that you can get some sleep during the weekend. I made the bad choice of booking our hotel right off the 5 freeway and it was loud. The hotel was only a mile away from the event location so it was certainly quick to get back and forth. However, I think to truly enjoy the weekend, you need a bit of sleep. We stayed at the Day's Inn and it was so loud. I was fortunate enough to pack some really good earphones and play my music all night to cover the noise. However, if you don't have noise cancelling earphones, you may not get much sleep.</i> <br />

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leather Prima travelers journal itself measures 5 x 7.25” when folded. Because this cover is leather there is a bit of stretch to it. I was able to stuff it with my Hobonichi Techo and two inserts and it stretched to 2 inches and has held up very well. The leather Prima travelers journal in personal size sells for $39.99 on the <a href="https://myprimaplanner.com/shop-2/ptj-leather-essential-warm-stone" target="_blank">My Prima Planne</a>r site and does not come with inserts, so don't forget to order some. Anyway, I was able to stuff my Hobonich Techo and three inserts into it. Here is a side view of that. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX88xQM1lvb_XO275vSYAHH1_8h-X-aEf6vvdMOgrb0LIfQk6GTnhPweblT4QH0wLhyphenhyphenZzqtEEwYaOrA58bskJImjcm-YRc1FI2KKxTOUXvlMuV4rxUzk-JWKCPo0ZSTpLuYXZ7Duk8kF2d/s1600/Prima+Leather+Travelers+Journal+interior+with+Hobonichi+Techo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="619" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX88xQM1lvb_XO275vSYAHH1_8h-X-aEf6vvdMOgrb0LIfQk6GTnhPweblT4QH0wLhyphenhyphenZzqtEEwYaOrA58bskJImjcm-YRc1FI2KKxTOUXvlMuV4rxUzk-JWKCPo0ZSTpLuYXZ7Duk8kF2d/s320/Prima+Leather+Travelers+Journal+interior+with+Hobonichi+Techo.jpg" width="309" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">You can see that is is a bit bulky, which worked but I was not happy with the look. So I took out one of the inserts so that it still closed comfortably. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The elastic is nice and thick and is well chosen and works very well to hold everything in. I like the thicker elastics because they last longer than the thinner variety.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">I personalized my journal with a simple rhinestone initial. </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">I loved how the warm stone leather travelers journal looked new.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My friend purchased the peach colored leather personal travelers journal and I really like it too. I may order one of those so I can switch between the two journals. Between the excellent quality of the "My Prima Planner" products, the ease of daily use and being able to switch between the various planners, my Prima collection seems to just keep growing. <span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Also, for those who may not know it, Prima Marketing also offers some really cool </span><a href="https://www.primamarketinginc.com/shop/store/products/products/travelers-journal" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">cling stamps</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> that are great for using in their new traveler's notebooks, along with some fun planner sticker collections.

Prima Marketing who is known for creating beautiful papers, stickers, and planners have finally come out with leather travelers notebooks in the Personal size (5" x & 7.25"). These new leather travelers notebooks are really beautiful. I found that since they are genuine leather, that each one is slightly different which I really like. According to the "My Prima Planner Website, depending on the color and dye used on each notebook, there may be texture marks, wrinkles, blemishes and scratches that occur in shipping. I love the weathered leather look so I ordered the Warm Stone PTJ Leather Essential Travelers Notebook for the Prima Marketing new product release party called the Magical Wonderland Planner Meet Up Event on December 1, 2017.<br />

Below is a picture that I took of the Prima Marketing Leather Travelers Notebook in <a href="https://myprimaplanner.com/shop-2/ptj-leather-essential-warm-stone" target="_blank">Warm Stone</a> next to one of my <a href="http://amzn.to/2DCDJRy" target="_blank">standard</a> size Travelers Company Notebook and my Hobonichi Techo so you can get a better idea of the size of this particular travelers journal. I am currently using it to hold my Hobonichi Techo and it fits inside of the leather journal well, along with a few inserts.

<a href="https://myprimaplanner.com/" target="_blank">Prima Marketing</a> had a fun "Meet Up Event" for their new product release last year when they released their new line of planners that was amazing. So I was really happy to find out that they were going to have one for the new line of Prima Marketing Leather Travelers Journals at their Prima Marketing house in Temecula, California.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For those who are unfamiliar with this location, Temecula is wine country and many of the homes and estates there are really beautiful.<br />

The Prima Marketing Estate does not disappoint. It is beautiful. The interior of the house has been decorating using products and accents from the Prima Marketing Mixed Media line. I really thought the menu planning wall was such a fabulous idea. I think I may do something similar in my kitchen.<br />

The Prima Marketing new release events are a fun way to meet other people who appreciate their beautiful product lines. I have been a fan of their scrapbooking and multi-media supplies for years and enjoy taking advantage of the opportunity to see new releases in person. Plus, they usually have a pop-up shop at these events where you can purchase items at a discount. The "<a href="https://myprimaplanner.com/blog-2/2017/12/5/magical-wonderland-planner-meet-up" target="_blank">Magical Wonderland Meet Up Even</a>t" was held in the picnic area around the front side of the house which was beautifully decorated with a Christmas holiday theme.</div>

As each person checked in, they were handed a box and a swag bag that contained not only the pre-ordered leather travelers journal but also some adorable papers, stickers, and other ephemera. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The box also had some holiday themed Prima Marketing Scrapbooking and planner materials. I got a darling Frank Garcia "Sweet Peppermint" chipboard and more set in my box. This set is darling and has some beautiful holiday pieces in it. The chipboard is not too thick so it will work well in both my travelers notebooks and my planners. </div>

Prima also included a set of inserts to fit my traveler's journal.

The bag also contained a darling planner clip from "<a href="https://greenandlyme.com/collections/paper-clips" target="_blank">Green & Lyme</a>" and some refill sheets that fit my "Green & Lyme" planner (plus a coupon code for 15% off my next purchase). I also received a cute gift from Lhey Ralston (@mommylhey on Instagram). Lhey Ralston has a monthly subscription box called the "<a href="http://mommylheydesigns.com/blog/little-bits-box-subscription-info-please-read/" target="_blank">Little Bits</a>" box which I subscribed to. It does not disappoint and her kawaii style items are so adorable. I have done a review of one of her "Little Bits" boxes which you can check out if you want to see what types of items can be included. Lhey Ralston also posts preview pics on her Instagram throughout each month. Below you can see the cute Cactus planner clips, cactus charm (for our new journals), die cuts, washi tape, stickers and other cute items from her box.</div>

With so many planner addicts in one place, it was so much fun to talk to everyone and work on out travelers notebooks. Most meet ups offer attendees the opportunity to participate in swaps. It is a lot of fun to trade with other planners and see some of the darling items they people make to swap with. </div>

Later they also had the candy cane washi game. That one was pretty fun. It is a spin-off of the traditional bobbing for apples game. You put the plastic wrapped candy cane in your mouth and use the hook part to pick up rolls of washi from the bowl. This was so fun to do and everyone just kept laughing and participating in the fun. Below are some pictures from the event of some of the amazing people I got to meet.</div>

The pop-up shop has some great deals. I purchased some inserts for my traveler's journal, a beaded planner charm, some Julie Nutting planner stickers, Julie Nutting ephemera sets, dimensional stickers, positive words planner stickers, washi tape, and some of the My Prima Planner Inspiration Goodie Packs. These items are hard to find and I was so glad that they had them available for purchase.</div>
