Wednesday What's Up

Oh, there's some really cool things to share with you again today. I came across a really neat rain drop technique that is going to have to show up on one of my layouts one of these days. This technique obviously will be awesome for rainy day layouts, snowy day layouts (just change the droplets for snowflakes) or alligator tear drop layouts.

If you're big into sewing, and enjoy using sewing in your layouts, then this will be right up your alley. Stitch directly on your layout, and adhere brads at the end of the stitching to create rain falling from the sky. You can find the particular layout I'm referring to here.

Want to win a prize worth $130? A company called the Plaid Barn, is giving away 73 rolls of Washi Tape to one lucky entrant. Get your entry in. You don't want to miss out on such a fabulous opportunity!!

There is a lot of inspiration out there. All you need to do is look around you. There are also a lot of talented crafters and artists out there. One of my favorite blogs to follow is Kelly Fosters' All The Pretty Things. She shares a step-by-step tutorial today guiding you through how she makes her layouts. I love her style, though its too much work for me! Have a look- her work is gorgeous!

Calling all digi scrappers- Echo Park and Carta Bella have another One Buck Wednesday happening today, which means some of their digi kits are on sale for $1! Head over to their blogs to get all the deets!

Looking for a unique way to use up your scrap papers? Why not adhere them to a sheet of plain white card stock, run them through your die cut machine, and attach them as embellishments to your cards, layouts, or altered items? This is such a neat idea- head over to the Paper Crafts blog to see how Teri Anderson does it!

Love the look of the sunburst technique, but have a hard time wrapping your brain around how to do it, like me? Then you'll want to save this download for future use! Once again, Paper Crafts to the rescue!

And, one last item I forgot to post to yesterday's What's Up: Create your very own band aid box! Head over here for the tutorial. (You'll need to search for the February 17, 2011 blog post, or scroll down until you find it). She's also got some amazing cards on her blog, too. Browse through it- they're incredible!

I found a new sketch tonight, and boy does it look awesome!!!! I can hardly wait to jump into this one! Unfortunately, I have a design team assignment that's due first, but once that's out of the way, watch out new sketch, cause here I come! You'll find it at Erin's blog here.

And, even though this project isn't scrapbooking related, I wanted to share it anyways. I know there's lots of mama's out there, and aunties, and this would make a perfect gift or toy for our kids to play with. Head over to FaveCrafts and have a look at this neat felt book!

Not much else to share tonight. Alls quiet on the home front. Happy Wednesday evening. The week is half over!

On a totally unrelated note, FINDING.DORY.

Need I say more?????????!!!!!!!!
