<br />
....and some really beautiful paints and mixed media powders by Lindys Stamp Gang!.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J-C7pucQVvw/XldBDn0YQLI/AAAAAAAAgIc/gjcytahubQMZ6Hb2zJWIj3qRYLmkRWRAQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Lindys%2Bproduct%2Bpic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="936" data-original-width="1423" height="420" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J-C7pucQVvw/XldBDn0YQLI/AAAAAAAAgIc/gjcytahubQMZ6Hb2zJWIj3qRYLmkRWRAQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Lindys%2Bproduct%2Bpic.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I've gotta say I just love the shimmer and color in these beautiful Lindy's products. When the water hits those magicals and activates the powder, it's just shimmer and shine and deep rich color! Here are a few more closeups and angle pics of the project if you need reference points if you are trying out this project....<br />

<br />
Hi All! I'm super excited to share my newest scrapbook page along with a free Video Tutorial on how I made this page! I used the awesome new Vintage Artistry Paper Collection in the Sage colour as well as the coordinating embellishments ....Washi Tape! (LOVE!!) and Collage Layers (SO COOL!)<br />
<br />
So enough talk....let's play! ...<br />
<br />

<br />
I hope you enjoyed my video and really hope this inspired you to play with the new Vintage Artistry collection papers and embellishments! Along with these gorgeous papers I also added some texture and color with TCW Modeling Paste and a Stencil I designed for The Crafters Workshop called Tile Mania...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
....I also used some REALLY fun color mediums by Lindy's Stamp Gang! They are color powders that really pack a punch! And don't let the pale color in the pot fool you, when you hit it with some water, it activates color and shimmer like you wouldn't believe! These awesome little powders are called Magicals, and the two colors I used for this project are Ponderosa Pine Olive and Jana's Jade...</div>

As many of you know I just love Dusty Attic chipboard and for this project I used 3 of their designs, Geometric Panel, Elegant Swirls #3 and Photo Strip. I used some Prima green chalk ink to color my chippies and then added a coat of clear embossing powder and hit it with a heat gun to get the pretty glossy effect on the chipboard.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another fun little detail I used in creating the background design was to use some stamps! For this one I used a stamp I had designed for 49 & Market called Hibiscus/Thankyou. I thought the hand drawn floral outline and the script stamp added a nice natural element to the Vintage Artistry papers...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And finally of course the 49 & Market florals and embellishments add the perfect finishing touches! Here I used 49 & Market Enchanted Petals in Mint color and their Stargazers (Cashmere)</div>

Hi All! I'm not sure if my blog is working correctly but I'm going to attempt to keep adding some of my newest works on here! I recently designed a whole bunch of NEW stencils for TCW (The Crafter's Workshop) for Creativation 2020! Among them was this fun circle stencil we called Bubble-Rebound....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the samples I created using this stencil was done on a piece of 12x12 chipboard and using Prima Extravagance Crackle Paste and some of these wonderful NEW paints by Lindy's Stamp Gang called Squirts!</div>

Tutorial on Alcohol Inks on Yupo Paper!<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/luGJtpf53m0" width="560"></iframe><br />

Hi All!<br />
<br />
I know it's been a very long time since I last posted here on my blog, not even sure how many people still subscribe but here goes :) ...As some of you already may know I took a bit of a break, this past year has been a tough one, I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and had numerous heart conditions to deal with, added to that I found out my Dad has colon cancer as well. We're getting through this though, as for me I'm doing a lot better but am on a waiting list for a procedure for my atrial fibrillation. Enough about me though, I recently have been intrigued by alcohol ink on Yupo paper. So many have asked that I do a tutorial on products I use to make my artwork and a little watch the process video, hopefully the above tutorial will be helpful to you!<br />
<br />
I began being interested in fluid art over a year ago (acrylic pours etc.) but never followed through with giving it a try. But when I saw this alcohol ink on Yupo paper (not really paper but more of a plastic sheet), I saw how little investment it took and really not a lot of mess either. So I thought I'd give it a try! It's so much fun to do!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by my blog today (I would've posted more close-up pics but for some reason blogger is not letting me upload photos....going to have to figure that out! ) :)<br />

Hello friends! I have a new page kit to share with you that is filled with lotsa fun chipboard and some unique and beautiful embellishments. And as always you get a unlimited access to a private video tutorial on how to make this page when you order from The Scrapbook Diaries!</div>

There is an amazing set of chipboard designs included in this kit, I think all these circles and cogs allow for a variety of designs, here I used it like a spray across the page....I love these combo packs because they allow for a maximum variety of chipboard designs for a minimum price! Also included are those lovely title chippies, I really love the font used on these.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I began the design by relaxing and (watching TV) while cutting out a bunch of these cute little butterflies from a lovely contact sheet by LemonCraft.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I combined the butterflies with these cute adhesive buttons by LemonCraft. The chickenwire is this cool set of stickers by 7 Gypsies. I just randomly cut the sticker to suit my design.</div>

I had been saving this stunning packet of verdigris metal leaves by Prima for just the right kit and here I finally found it! Aren't these embellishments beautiful? ...of course Janene had stock-piled enough of them so that I could create a kit with them.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And as always I love to add in some cool mixed media products, here I used a Tim Holtz paint called Sea Glass and some of my favorite Prills pebbles as well....all of course are included in the kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The beauty of this kit is it works equally well for a girlish page or a masculine page....and the title allows for so many photos. Janene includes enough product to make bonus pages and you can see a sample she made at The Scrapbook Diaries website. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of these kits are limited because of some of the unique products I use on the page such as the metal verdigris leaves, so if this one appeals to you, head on over to the Scrapbook Diaries before she runs out! You can order you kit HERE.</div>

Hello friends! I'm back with a NEW video tutorial....well, sort of, LOL, I made this travel journal last year using some fun stencils I designed for The Crafter's Workshop (TCW). I had said I would come out with a video tutorial for it but took forever to get it done. My only explanation is that it's been one crazy busy and hectic year. Along with my oldest daughter getting married, I also have been dealing with some health issues. I have AFIB (Atrial Fibrillation) and recently has been getting worse and worse. I'm under a cardiologists care now (after having had to undergo cardioversion twice! to bring my heart back to a normal sinus rhythm), so hopefully I will get things sorted out and get back to normal living again!</div>

I used 3 stencils that I designed for The Crafter's Workshop last summer. Many of you may already have these, I know I've seen a lot of beautiful work by you all using these over the past few months. But here is a little project I made using them. Time to grab your cuppa and relax for a few minutes and enjoy a little creative time.....</div>

This is a head on view of the journal. I bought my base for this at our local dollar store, I always keep a lookout for fun things to make-over using mixed media products and this one is inexpensive and works beautifully for my purposes.</div>

I kept the centerpiece very simple for this one...I only used a couple of chipboard cogs by Dusty Attic and a square piece of chipboard (I think it was an inside throw-away piece from a window) and used the stencils to get creative.</div>

Hi Everyone! I know it's been ages since I last posted! My dear friend Janene at <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/shop/love-by-gabrielle-pollacco-mmk199/"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Scrapbook Diaries</span></a> has been gently reminding me there are many out there that are wanting some fun new kit pages....so here I am with a kit page using some amazing products from great companies like 49 & Market, LemonCraft and Prima. I've been busy making up a photobook from all the beautiful photo's we got from my daughter Chloe's wedding. This is one of my favorite photo's taken by a dear friend of ours (Gord Wenzel, an amazing photographer) ....he captured this sweet unposed photo of her that I think expresses her beautiful soul.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really love the papers I was able to use for this kit....so feminine and beautiful....I used this for a wedding photo but it can be used equally well for friendship pages or any other themed page you're looking to make up. I always love to add in those little extra's like Prills (the small colorful pearls) that add a lovely texture to the page.</div>

And the flowers and chipboard accents! Beautiful shimmery goodness by 49 and Market. Janene Meyerowitz cleverly designed these groupings of chipboard that allow you to have a nice variety of chipboard for your page without breaking the bank!</div>

Hello dear friends, I know it has been quite some time since I last posted on my blog. As most of you know I've had a lot going on with my daughters wedding....but it is done now (it was a beautiful wedding) and now I have time to get back to my creative work! My first order of business was to get a new Page Kit done for <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/shop/beautiful-by-gabrielle-pollacco-mmk194/"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Scrapbook Diaries</span></a>! It's summer and it's such a fun time to do those beach/seaside photo's. I used the gorgeous papers and embellishments from the new 49 & Market collection (designed by Janene Meyerowitz) called Sand & Sea! I am so in love with these papers and especially the layered sticker sheet that goes with it!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-scX1JxDkEU4/WU0fazBSfiI/AAAAAAAAaiA/DasiHqwOYjkbj3-oTQvtbYpONue-tecYQCLcBGAs/s1600/Beautiful%2Bclose1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="684" data-original-width="1200" height="364" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-scX1JxDkEU4/WU0fazBSfiI/AAAAAAAAaiA/DasiHqwOYjkbj3-oTQvtbYpONue-tecYQCLcBGAs/s640/Beautiful%2Bclose1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These beautiful layered stickers (sea horses, shells, starfish, bubbles, coral, sea grass and jellyfish) are so pretty and add a lovely 3D effect....and best of all, no fussy cutting! In an instant you have the look of a page that took a lot of time and detailing but without all the work! Included in this kit is a full 12x12 layered translucent sticker sheet with glitter accents....I'm actually hoarding some for a canvas I want to do....but there are a LOT of embellishments to choose from in this package....<span style="color: #e06666;">and lets just say the quantity is limited on these so you may want to jump in on this one asap!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this kit page I used a cool distress crayon by Tim Holtz along with some gorgeous Blue Patina mica powder by Ranger Perfect Pearls for my mixed media products (included in the kit of course). And to give the page some lovely texture I used a 6x6 stencil that I designed for The Crafter's Workshop called Tile Mania (TCW662).....all included in the kit.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As always the kit includes a full private video tutorial to which you will have unlimited access to with the purchase of the kit. This will show you in step by step detail how to create this page. You can imitate it exactly as is or tweak it to match your own taste. Janene also created a bonus page that can be made with this kit and let me tell you it's a stunner, it utilizes some more of my favorite papers from the gorgeous Sand & Sea collection! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have to admit that beach/summer pages are my favorite to create and this one was seriously fun to play with, I think you will really enjoy this one. You can get your kit while quantities last at The Scrapbook Diaries<a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/shop/beautiful-by-gabrielle-pollacco-mmk194/"> <span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">HERE.</span></a></div>

Hi All! I have a new fun and easy Video Tutorial up today again this time using the NEW Winged Mosaic TCW656 stencil that I designed for The Crafter's Workshop! I gave you all a peek at this one a few weeks back and here today I have a full video tutorial on how it was made :) ....so grab a cuppa, kick up the feet, relax and enjoy!</div>
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2MSKRMK7yNg" width="640"></iframe>
<br />
Hope you all enjoyed my little tutorial! Just imagine all the fun ways you can use a mosaic tile stencil! On a keepsake box, on the cover of an art journal....the projects are endless! And all the work of piecing together a mosaic is already done for you! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u_ldyINXFoE/WNF2h8aQi4I/AAAAAAAAZWY/iIUSg1n0-G4VTLZoIX5mhl12JXsOPgUBgCLcB/s1600/Dragonfly%2BMosaic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u_ldyINXFoE/WNF2h8aQi4I/AAAAAAAAZWY/iIUSg1n0-G4VTLZoIX5mhl12JXsOPgUBgCLcB/s640/Dragonfly%2BMosaic.jpg" width="486" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the look of it of course will change with the mixed media products you choose to use on the stencil! I used TCW Black Gesso and Black Modeling paste with Pearlex Mica Powders, then sealed it with some hair spray. </div>

I can't wait to see how you all use this stencil in your projects! The good news is that TCW is carried by a lot of craft stores so it shouldn't be hard to find one near you. If you are looking to order online I know that Janene at <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/?s=Gabrielle+Pollacco&post_type=product"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Scrapbook Diaries </span></a>has my stencils in, in both sizes (for Canada and USA, she ships international as well), <a href="http://www.themadscrapper.co.uk/catalog/gabrielle-pollacco-c-202.html"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Mad Scrapper</span></a> in the UK, and<a href="https://www.scrapbook.com/store/cf-tcw656s.html"> <span style="color: #e06666;">Scrapbook.com</span></a> has it as well!</div>

I know! It's been a couple of months since I did a Kit Page for<span style="color: #e06666;"> </span><span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/dreamer-kit-by-gabrielle-pollacco/">The Scrapbook Diaries</a></span><span style="color: #e06666;">.</span></span>...part of the reason is these two awesomes in the photo! We've got a wedding coming up soon on us so my time has been occupied with wedding showers, invites, dress shopping, ....all the fun stuff that comes with a family wedding. (Well, that and doing some designing for stamps and stencils....more to come!)</div>

As always, the kit includes everything in it so that you can recreate the page I made here (including unlimited access to a full private video tutorial on how to make the page)....a lovely shade of Tim Holtz Distress Ink, one of my new stamp designs (Faded Damask), lots of chipboard and beautiful shabby chic Prima accents.</div>

As for me? Back to the fun of wedding planning for my sweet daughter and her fiancee ......I'm a bit OCD so I take on a lot of things myself....is it crazy that I want to do the wedding cake, the flowers, the sweet table, the decorating? Hey, at least I'm leaving the catering for the dinner to someone else, LOL! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hi All! So I'm back with another video tutorial....and I went wayyy out of my comfort zone with this one. I always try to get in and read all the feedback on my tutorials and one of the things I've been asked a few times is if I'd consider narrating on my tutorials. Well, I'm one of those people who can't stand the sound of their own voice. When I get nervous my voice is low, my throat gets dry...well, you get the idea. But never-the-less I went and tried it out anyways. So this is a layout I gave you all a peek at a little while back on which I used a NEW stencil I designed for TCW (The Crafter's Workshop), it's called 'Tile Mania'. For this one I used the 12" x 12" stencil (but it also comes in the 6"x6" size. TCW662. So without any further ado, hear is my tutorial!....</div>

Most of the products I used on this page can be found in one place....<a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/shop/12x12-stencil-tile-mania/">The Scrapbook Diaries</a>! I didn't do this one as a kit as this was a sample page I made for the TCW trade show booth. But the most of the products I used were from The Scrapbook Diaries. You can find the papers, the stamps (<a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/shop/gabis-patterned-textures-stamps/">Gabi's Patterned Textures</a> and <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/shop/gabis-postcard-from-paris-stamps/">Gabi's Postcards From Paris</a>), the stencil, the flowers, burlap, twine, texture paste, Gesso and even some of the chipboard and embellishments at The Scrapbook Diaries, I believe she even has Perfect Pearls there too? (at least I got them from her in the first place, LOL)</div>

The gems where from my local dollar store. In Canada we have Dollarama, I often find odds and ends there that I can add to my pages.. Here you can see how I added the gems to the cross sections of my stencil design. You can also see some of the script stamping I did with my Postcards from Paris stamp set (also at The Scrapbook Diaries)</div>

Another little closeup of the accent area on my layout....I like to throw a little accent area in to balance the page design. The little blue buds were part of a kit I made up for The Scrapbook Diaries a little while back. If Janene doesn't have these in her store, I know that many craft stores carry these or something similar in a variety of colors.</div>

So guess what?! The stencils are finally hitting the stores! Just got word from Janene over at <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/?s=Gabrielle+Pollacco&post_type=product"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Scrapbook Diaries</span></a> that the NEW stencils I designed for TCW (The Crafter's Workshop) are finally in the house! (I was a little premature showing my last tutorial for the Bride book....got a lot of emails asking where to get,...and they weren't in yet! lol!) This time I have somewhere to send you! :)</div>

For this project I used the stencil I designed for The Crafters Workshop called 'Stained Glass Daisies' TCW657. The photo you see above is an extra canvas I made using acrylic paints. But in the following video tutorial I used a variety of Shimmerz Paints Products to create my Mosaic canvas. Time to grab yourself a cup of coffee (or tea), kick back, relax and enjoy!</div>

Hope you enjoyed my little tutorial....and easy, right? Almost like painting in a coloring book! And you get a mosaic effect without having to cut and match pieces, it's all done for you, just a few swipes with some texture paste and your can get your creative on with coloring! <br />

This is a still shot of the stencil I created in the video tutorial using the Shimmerz paints, here I used a wash in the 'grout' lines, giving more of a vintage look. For the canvas at the top of this blog I simply used TCW's Black Gesso for the background and TCW's Ultra Thick Molding Paste for the stencil and then painted with some favorite acrylic paint colors.</div>

But Getting back to the canvas in the video....I used a variety of Shimmerz Paints products for this one and finished the design by adding some Dusty Attic Grasses at the bottom of the canvas.</div>

As I mentioned you can now find them at <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/?s=Gabrielle+Pollacco&post_type=product"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Scrapbook Diaries</span> </a>(USA & Canada, she also ships International)....I also heard that <a href="http://www.themadscrapper.co.uk/catalog/gabrielle-pollacco-c-202.html"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Mad Scrapper</span></a> in the UK has them in as well! (Just click on the links to take you there). If you don't like to shop online you can always check your local scrap store or art shop (many now carry TCW products!)</div>

Hi All! I have finally gotten around to putting together my video tutorial for a canvas I made for the winter Creativation Show in Phoenix for TCW (The Crafter's Workshiop). This art canvas features two stencils I design for TCW one is a stencil I designed last year called Organic Matter, the other is a NEW one I designed called Jungle Vines...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also used a few of my favorite Dusty Attic chipboard pieces, a fairly new frame called Ornate Frame #5 and another called Feathered Charm #3...and a very cool title chippie called Blueprint Dream.</div>

This video tutorial is a 2 parter which includes a small tutorial on how I made the polymer clay Bonsai Tree center piece so it's a few minutes longer than my usual tutorials. Hope you all enjoy!</div>

This was a really fun canvas to do and I hope you all give it (or something like it) a try!The tree center piece was easy to make and the result is something that to me resembles something that looks like cast bronze!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And how fun is that flourishy art deco looking frame? for this I used a variety of metalic paints and glitter glue. (All the products are listed in the description area under the Youtube video).</div>

I used Sculpey polymer clay to make the tree and with a few easy steps, you can make it too. I like to take the time to use the tip of a knife to put in a few etching lines in the 'bark', this shows up well when you add the Pearlex mica powder before you bake off the piece.<br />

Here's a close up of the title chippie by Dusty Attic...I love the blue print series of title's that they recently produced....you can see how I did the finish in the video above.</div>

Another fun little addition I've been adding to a lot of my tutorials lately is the use of Prills, these colorful cute lil pebbles. For this project I used a color appropriately named 'Ribbit' :) I believe Janene has these (Prills) available at her store at The Scrapbook Diaries as well....you can find them <a href="https://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/?s=Prills&post_type=product">HERE.</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And how cute are these 'Feather Charm' chippies? The Dusty Attic designed a variety of styles in this chippie, this one I used is Feather Charm #3. I sued a bit of 3D metalic paint on it to give it even more texture. </div>

Hi all! I'm back today to share with you all a video tutorial I made up using another NEW stencil I designed for The Crafter's Workshop stencils. This one is called 'She Said Yes" TCW659s (6x6") and the "You Are my Sunshine" TCW660s (6x6")....I made it in two sizes utilizing the 12x12 inch stencil for the larger book.</div>

Hope you enjoyed my video! This stencils are a brand NEW release for TCW and are being shown at the Creativation CHA show in Phoenix as we speak....so stores are ordering and should be in stores soon! I noticed many of you are asking when/where to get. I know for sure that The Scrapbook Diaries have ordered these stencils and will have them in the online store soon (Janene is a CHA right now as well so her store is on hold for a few days)....and of course if you have a local scrap store that carries TCW, they should have them soon as well (if your local store doesn't carry them, you can always ask to order them in, many stores like to hear what their customers would like to see in stores.)<br />
<br />
Thanks again for stopping by my blog today, I always enjoy reading your kind words and feedback, makes my day! xo<br />

It's Tuesday! And time for another sneak peek at a project I've been working on using another stencil I designed for The Crafter's Workshop Stencils! This one is a canvas with a polymer clay centerpiece. I will have a video tutorial up for this one soon (both on how I made the centerpiece and the whole canvas design).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The stencil I used for this background design is called "Jungle Vines" TCW658 and can be ordered soon from The Crafter's Workshop or at the CHA coming up soon! I will be showing this canvas in it's entirety soon....ha, been saying soon a lot haven't I! :) But I promise I've got lotsa fun video tutorials to share with you all :)</div>

Hi All! It's Tuesday, and time for another peek at a project I made using a stencil I designed for The Crafter's Workshop! I made a scrapbook page (photo of my daughter and her fiance) and used my the stencil I designed for TCW called 'Tile Mania TCW662 to create the background design.</div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will be showing the rest of the layout along with a video tutorial in a future post (soon as the stencils are released - January 15th). If you make it out to the Winter CHA be sure to stop by the TCW (The Crafter's Workshop) booth to see some of the TCW projects for yourselves.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So it's my turn today to share another sneak peek of some of the stencils I've designed for The Crafter's Workshop! Here is a little portion of a project I've been working on using this one called, My Sunshine #TCW660. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd like to say that I have a video tutorial for this one as well, but this one is still to be determined....I did a close up of a product while filming and then it put the rest of my filming into a blur! ugh! I will see if I can still salvage enough of this one to put together a tutorial or at least show some of the techniques I used on this one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These stencils will be available January 15th! Be sure to stop by the TCW (The Crafter's Workshop) booth at the winter CHA if you are going, check out the new stencils and see some of these projects in real life!</div>

A Sneak Peek of One of my NEW TWC Stencils!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B_I5szBjXmc/WFy5EsTx4LI/AAAAAAAAXvs/4CkF8ctx82AgSYYm5kRv8gD3v-x27GgJwCLcB/s1600/photo2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B_I5szBjXmc/WFy5EsTx4LI/AAAAAAAAXvs/4CkF8ctx82AgSYYm5kRv8gD3v-x27GgJwCLcB/s640/photo2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know many of you have been asking about why they've seen so little of my work on my social media and my Youtube Channel lately. Well, I've been busily making 8 NEW stencil designs for TCW (<a href="http://store.thecraftersworkshop.com/">The Crafter's Workshop</a>) for their upcoming new releases for the Winter CHA (Craft and Hobby Show). And along with creating these fun stencils I've also created some projects to show how I would use these stencils. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The stencils will be available by January 15th and will be shown at the Winter CHA (at the TCW booth along with a whole bunch of projects I made using them!) As always they come in two sizes, 6x6 inches and 12x12 inches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is just a little peek....can you tell I've had my mind on mosaics lately? This project came together quick and easy. As soon as I get the go ahead I will be showing this project in full with lots of close-ups, tips and tricks and of course a full video tutorial on how I made it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I will have more and more sneak peeks to share with you all as the CHA draws closer but before I leave you all today I just wanted to share one more bit of awesome news! Did you know that TCW makes their own line of mixed media products now? I was so very excited to get my hands on these beauties and give them a go....and boy, they did not disappoint! I've absolutely been loving using them, I've pretty near emptied that thick Modeling Paste, a treat to work with!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope my little peek has whet your appetite for more because I've got lots more to share. It felt nice being able to just play again (I love designing products but I love using the products even more!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thanks so much to all of you who have shown so much sweet support in your kind comments and in the use of the products I design....nothing gives me more pleasure than to see what others are doing with the products I put out there! Looking forward to seeing what you lovely creative people out there will be doing with my newest designs! Sending loads of love to you all! xo</div>

When Janene sent me these adorable wood chippies I knew I had to make a fun kit out of it using some of my favorite Prills embellishments for <a href="https://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/shop/treasure-by-gabrielle-pollacco-mmk186/">The Scrapbook Diaries</a>. I used a cute photo of a bike for my page but the title and the pretty embellishments can work beautifully on a photo of a special person in your life as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Isn't that little wheel-barrow adorable! And it was so quick and easy to make! In minutes you can make your own unique embellishment with items found in this kit.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just love the scripty title chippie that comes with this kit too....it adds a pretty touch without taking over the page. The kit also includes the 'Postcards from Paris' stamp set I recently designed for The Scrapbook Diaries. I thought the scripty writing, the postcards and Cone flowers added a pretty background design for this page, especially when used with the brown chalk ink (also included in the kit).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been itching to use this beautiful set of lilac/white blooms from 49 & Market and was happy to get to use them with the fun lavender chippies in this kit. I added a little double hemp bow to make the corner accent on this page.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
....And this adorable lavender wreath! You're going to have so much fun making this page accent! As always, I created a full video tutorial with the kit to which you have unlimited access to, to help you create your own special keepsake. You can may your page exactly as shown or tweak the page to suite your own style.</div>

Hi my friends! I know I've been pretty quiet around here the last little while, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy being crafty! Shhhh! but I've been designing some more stencils for TCW (The Crafters Workshop)....I think you're going to love them! But for now you have to wait while they go into production. In the meantime I have this lovely new Kit Page and Video tutorial to share with you that I designed for <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/captivating-mixed-media-kit-by-gabrielle-pollacco/"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Scrapbook Diaries</span></a> (the video comes with the kit). We had a super busy summer and took lots of pics, so now it's time to get scrapping them (I hate for them to just sit in a computer file right?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This kit it packed with beautiful chipboard elements....and don't get me started on the papers! They were some of my all time favorite papers to work with by Blue Fern! (I loved them so much, when I finished my page, I contacted Janene and asked if she minded if I made an extra page for this kit because I'm on a roll!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did a little fussy cutting on this one, but not too much for those of you who are not into that....just enough to add a nice artistic touch. I just used a little pair of nail clipper scissors to do this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now let's talk embellishments! So many wonderful things to embellish with in this kit! Some gorgeous Prima metal accents and beautiful blooms from 49 & Market! I also used a very cool stencil by Andy Skinner that ended up looking like mermaid scales to me!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
....And the paints!! I'm soooo in love with the paints I used in this kit! Luminarte H20's in Ancient Coin and Beachouse blue. They give such a pretty aged patina to the page design. It's hard to see the shimmery effect they give on this flat page but you'll see in the video how beautifully they combine! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And of course I had to add some of my favorite new texture elements to this page....Prills! I thought the colors I picked would add a nice sandy/beachy element to this page.</div>

As I said earlier, I loved the kit elements so much that I just wanted to keep going so I made an extra page for this kit! This one came together so quick and easy! Don't you love it when that happens?</div>

We went camping this summer (something I haven't done for many many years) and we went to a place called The Pinery near Grand Bend Ontario. So beautiful! I enjoyed scrapping this pic of the beach, brought back so many happy memories as I was working on it! But then that's the point behind all this scrapping right?</div>

And aren't these wood chippies adorable? I thought they gave a nice 'sea grass' look to the page design (also included in kit)...the little shells, star fish and sea horses are from Dusty Attic (also included in kit).</div>

You can see a bit of the shimmer the paints give on the corrugated cardboard area here. Here I just randomly painted on the two colors in the kit, letting them overlap here and there....I thought this gave the embellishment a nice sort of aged/rusted look.</div>

Hi all! Today I have a page I made as a gift for my beautiful friend Jennifer Hedger, owner of Dusty Attic Chipboard. I've been on her design team for many many years now and have enjoyed being on this team so much. This is a no stress, wonderful design team, an absolute pleasure to be on. And this is due in no small part because of this lovely lady at the helm of the company. She is so genuine and sweet. It was my pleasure to make this page as a special gift to her.</div>

I used some beautiful papers from <a href="http://www.49andmarket.com/product-category/paper/">49 & Market</a>....remember the flower fairy papers I used for that layout I did of my daughter when she was a baby? Well Janene Meyerowitz has designed another lovely collection called Heirloom Botanicals (just LOVE the little mushroom cut out sheet she created) ....So for this page I used some of the Heirloom Botanical papers as well as a sheet of paper from Vintage Artistry (also from 49 & Market). The blossoms and Prills are all from 49 & Market as well. And of course all the chipboard is Dusty Attic Designs.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the mushroom design, I cut out the image from the 6x6 cut out sheet, then I cut out the tops of the mushrooms from another image and attached with foam pop dots to give a 3D effect to my embellishments.</div>

Love this title, cuz it's so true! I just tinted the DA chipboard piece with green ink and added some Gloss to the word 'life' and 'friends'. The quote is one of my new stamp designs (also available at The Scrapbook Diaries or 49 & Market)</div>
<br />

I did a bit of stamping with my new Hibiscus Stamp from <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/product-tag/gabi-product/">The Scrapbook Diaries</a> I used one of the quotes as a central quote and used the other scripted quote as a background design. I used the floral design as a background image behind the photo area.</div>
<br />
As I mentioned all the chipboard is Dusty Attic, for this page I used<br />
~ Small Trellis<br />
~ Mini Branches<br />
~ View Finders<br />
~ Lace Border #4<br />
~ Life is Better with Friends Title chippie<br />
<br />
You can order Dusty Attic chipboard directly from the <a href="http://www.dustyattic.com.au/">Dusty Attic Website</a> in Australia or there are many retailers in North America that now carry Dusty Attic product, <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/product-tag/dusty-attic/">The Scrapbook Diaries</a> has an extensive list of Dusty Attic product.<br />
<br />
All the girls on the design team got together and made an album (co-ordinated by the sweet Jen Burns) as a gift from the design team, each page in our own style. Hope she loves it! xo<br />

Hi Everyone! I'm back with another video tutorial and Kit for you all! Maja Design asked me to be their summer guest designer using this gorgeous new collection called 'Summertime'! As soon as Janene (The Scrapbook Diaries) and I saw this collection, we knew we had to make this into a Kit! So we pulled together lots of the pretty papers along with stamps, gorgeous chippies and wood embellishments and fun mixed media products and as always a video tutorial to show how it all comes together!<br />
....Has your summer been a good one so far? Ours has been busy and lots of fun! And I have some big news to share (in case you missed it in my last post)....my oldest daughter got engaged a few weeks ago! It's still hard to absorb that my little girl is so grown up now. But we are all so happy, he's an awesome guy and they are so very happy together! Every photo I have of them, you just see they glow with joy, so I thought I would use one of these pics to scrap with this lovely summery paper!<br />
<br />
<img alt="Summertime-L" class="alignnone wp-image-20294 size-full" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Summertime-L.png" height="300" width="600" /><br />
<br />
I used a variety the Summertime collection papers for my layout...'Light Scarlet' as my matting paper, 'It's Always the Best' as the main background design, 'Flowers Everywhere-bs' for the heart design, 'Smell the Roses' for the matting for the heart and 'Light Scarlet-bs' for the gingham inserts. I thought I would share a video tutorial with you all on how this page was put together, so get yourself your favorite summer drink (my favorite is strawberry lemonade), take a load off, relax and enjoy!...<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/37nolY7JX4o?rel=0" width="640"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and hope this inspires you to play with this beautiful collection for your own summertime photos.(see below for a GIVEAWAY!)... Here are some close-ups and details of this page that you can enjoy at your leisure.<br />
<br />
<img alt="closeup1" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20779" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/closeup1.jpg" height="359" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Since this is a love story, I thought I would use lots of heart images throughout the layout. I used the 'Circle Stitch Stamp Set' I designed for The Scrapbook Diaries, using the stitched heart stamp on a variety of the Summertime patterned papers and added Prima Mechanicals (hearts) to the centers to create fun and unique little embellishments for the page.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/HWVVSH-89gwMVN3qKz0lcTzuLtPtqiydGbm0HRctqHFzRzbxNdwvSAnORQ5iE8So2wrOjWD5WeBNvCDaKZ1i0-tsFQ-Q8quSsfdJo9az5bg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="closeup2" border="0" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20780" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/closeup2.jpg" height="590" width="640" /></a>The flowers are also from 49 and Market, the roses are a floral stem that I cut up and used in various places on the layout, and I used canvas blooms from their Rustic collection to tuck in around the photo area. For my mixed media product I used two crayons by Faber Castell called Iced Rose and Iced Currant (see video for various ways I used this paint crayon).<br />
<br />
<img alt="closeup5" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20781" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/closeup5.jpg" height="358" width="640" /><br />
<br />
The cogs chippie is from ScrapFX, and again the metal heart is by Prima. <span style="color: #e06666;">(this whole page design, including chipboard, mixed media products, stamp and papers can all be bought as a kit from The Scrapbook Diaries).</span><br />
<br />
<img alt="closeup3" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20782" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/closeup3.jpg" height="359" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Another product I've had a lot of fun with lately is those little colorful pebbles called Prills, here I used Tutu Pink Prills to accent the wooden floral accents from Scrapeniec and to accent my heart designs.<br />
<br />
<img alt="closeup6" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20783" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/closeup6.jpg" height="340" width="640" /><br />
<br />
I just love to layer all the pretty paper designs in this collection. For me, the gingham design on the backside of 'Light Scarlet' paper just speaks of summer. Here I tucked it in a tear I made in the background paper "Is Always the Best'. Tucking in a little lace and burlap, I think adds a nice rustic look.<br />

Before I close for today, I have one more project to share with you! Recently my dear friend Jennifer Hedger (owner of Dusty Attic) held a retreat in Bali and asked that I create a kit for the ladies on this trip! This is the layout I designed....she was kind enough to make up a special chipboard sheet of all the chipboard I used on this kit and made it available to everyone in North America through The Scrapbook Diaries! Yep! another kit you can order through The Scrapbook Diaries! I would have posted this seperately but Janene always thinking ahead, asked that I share it at same time as my Maja Design kit so that everyone that would like both can save on shipping! </div>

Hi All! It's been a crazy busy summer here for me and my family but I did manage to get some good scrapping time in! I was in the mood to do some masculine style scrapping and the good news is that this is a page kit that you can get at <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/shop/picture-perfect-by-gabrielle-pollacco/"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Scrapbook Diaries</span></a>! All materials I used to make this kit including the chipboard, metal accents, stencil and mixed media materials is in this kit along with unlimited access to a private online video tutorial that I created for this kit.</div>

The photo on this page is actually of pic of my son-in-law to be! (above is a pic of the two them) Last week my oldest daughter got engaged! Where has time gone??! The pic is one from a tough mudder he did (obstacle course through mud and all sorts of grueling obstacles...my daughter did one with him a few weeks back)....he was wearing a Bane mask from the Bat Man movie, I thought it would be fun to make a nice grungy looking page to frame this pic!. I made this page for his mom who took this pic of him, I'm going to frame it and give it as a gift to her.</div>

As always I love to add fabric and textural elements to a masculine page, here I used some burlap in the torn paper areas, giving a nice grungy look to the page design.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used a fun new Dusty Attic stencil called Bubbles to create a unique background design using a negative resist technique with a couple of great Faber Castell Gelato colors in Pistachio and Chocolate. I think you guys are going to love this product....IT DOES NOT WARP YOUR PAPER! This product can be used fairly dryly so you don't end up warping your paper from too much moisture. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also added some rolled paper embellishing for an added textural element. Here is another closeup of the background design and of some of the fun chipboard I used in this kit.....and of course, I had to add some of my lastest obsession....'Prills' (those little metalic copper gravelly bits)...I just love them, they add so much to a page! These are also included in the kit! As always, Janine breaks up your options for a Basic Kit or a Complete Kit (if you already have certain items you can choose basic kit to save money) So, ready to pick up your Picture Perfect Kit at the Scrapbook Diaries?

<br />
Hi All! I'm so happy to be sharing with you today my first layout using Janene Meyerowitz's beautiful Flower Fairies of Spring collection! I was delighted to be asked to be a guest designer today using this amazing, whimsical collection! And I was so thrilled when I first got my hands on this lovely collection....loving the heavy weight of the paper, so nice for fussy cutting and mixed media products!<br />
<br />
<img alt="product photo2" class="alignnone wp-image-611 size-full" height="227" src="https://www.49andmarket.com/wp-content/uploads/product-photo2.jpg" width="640" /><br />
I was Immediately drawn to the backside of the paper called 'Seedlings'....such a pretty background design! It made me think of this photo I took of my oldest daughter Chloe, when she was a baby. So I chose this paper as my main background. Then I noticed the pretty Ivy design on the paper called 'From the Root' and thought it would make a lovely matting frame for my background paper. The third paper I went with was the 'Spring Cut Out Sheet'....I cut out a bunch of the pretty images to use with foam pop adhesive dots to add these elements to my page design.

So before I show you close-ups and a few tips on my page, I thought I would share a video tutorial I made up on how this page came together, so grab yourself a cup of your favorite beverage, take a little break and enjoy!<br />

I hope you all enjoyed my little tutorial and feel inspired to create your own whimsical mixed media layout using Flower Fairies of Spring papers and embellishments! I'm posting a few close-ups of the layout that you can peruse at your leisure....<br />
<br />
<img alt="All Smiles closeup1" class="alignnone wp-image-612 size-full" height="365" src="https://www.49andmarket.com/wp-content/uploads/All-Smiles-closeup1.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
I used a Dusty Attic 'Elegant Scrolls' Frame to encircle the photo of my daughter and used a variety of products to add texture to the frame. I began with using a Tim Holtz Harlequin Stencil with homemade texture paste on the bottom layer of the stencil. I then painted it with a wonderful metalic paint by Shimmerz called 'Penny 4 Your Thoughts Inklingz'...the top layer of the stencil got a coat of Shimmerz 'Artie-choked' Texturez.<br />
<br />
<img alt="All Smiles closeup2" class="alignnone wp-image-613 size-full" height="397" src="https://www.49andmarket.com/wp-content/uploads/All-Smiles-closeup2.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
The smaller matching scroll got the same treatment in mixed media product as the larger frame. I also spritzed some Cheesecloth with Shimmerz 'See Ya Latte' and 'Olive Branch' Spritzes and adhered it to the background paper. I tucked a leaf cut out from the Spring Fairies cut-out sheet and a butterfly in the center of the design (from the cut out sheet as well).<br />

Janene has these fabulous new products in her store <a href="http://www.thescrapbookdiaries.com/product-category/art-mediums/">'The Scrapbook Diaries' called 'Prills'</a>....I'm totally obsessed with them! Here I used the Lavender Ice Prills on the tips of my Dusty Attic 'Flower Buds' and 'Lavender' Chippies. I just put nice big globs of Aleene's glue on them and poured the little colorful balls all over them. I just love the effect they give!<br />

<br />
....And, once I started playing with these Prills, I couldn't stop! Used them on the chipboard and around my photo area as well. I really liked how the purple/lavender color went with the blue/green/sepia colors on the background paper. (sorry about the stray piece of burlap on there....was to lazy to retake the pic when I was posting...but still wanted to share the close-up so you could see the effect on the chipboard :P<br />

And seriously, how cute are those little flower fairy images!! Not only are these sweet l'il images scattered tastefully over all the papers but you get a bunch of the adorable images on the Cut Out sheet! Love that! ...I also added some burlap trim under my photo frame for added rustic texture, this wonderful stuff is available by the roll (in a nice workable small roll) at The Scrapbook Diaries....<br />

There are 3 different styles available, the one above, a coarser burlap and a cream color burlap. I also used these adorable Burlap/Canvas blossoms by 49 and Market....such a sweet design, don't you think!<br />
