&amp;nbsp;Birthday Celebration Wall Hanging&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;CELEBRATION Wall Hanging ( gesso, rubber stamps, paint, ink)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
I chose to make this wall hanging and ceramic plaque instead of a card. &amp;nbsp;I would have used the same techniques on a card anyways! lol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirTA78Jg9Lv_U-2iSGUVzEa_fPUsdXlfUJF8n8xvQ50nl2Pod7i_BVaAZKdoh74Zd-2u6X71-8hE7sZKJ9TQDClUkpvEFeqS4ispNAt9U745qOlukr9ZCKxrIygh8mKfbz3GSbW3GchrU/s1600/Ann+Birthday+hop+1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;birthday celebration gesso and paint&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirTA78Jg9Lv_U-2iSGUVzEa_fPUsdXlfUJF8n8xvQ50nl2Pod7i_BVaAZKdoh74Zd-2u6X71-8hE7sZKJ9TQDClUkpvEFeqS4ispNAt9U745qOlukr9ZCKxrIygh8mKfbz3GSbW3GchrU/s400/Ann+Birthday+hop+1.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I started with an 11x14, 140 lb piece of watercolour paper and stamped over the entire surface with&amp;nbsp; ColorBox™ &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-background-basics-by-ann-butler&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Background Basics Stamps&lt;/a&gt; (Diamonds1 and Picnic1) using ColorBox™ &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-crafter-s-by-ann-butler&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Crafter&#39;s ink&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/a&gt;in Sea Breeze and Blueberry. &amp;nbsp;You need to heat set the inks . &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Once dry, I covered most&amp;nbsp;of the surface, using a putty knife, with a thin layer of gesso.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I then &lt;b&gt;wrote words into the wet gesso:&lt;/b&gt; &#39;CELEBRATE&#39;, &#39;Happy birthday to you,..&#39; etc. I used the tip of the knife to write but you can use any sharp object. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0ussY9RqdQdCML4nP_LBTXSrAAJM84vc07VzYBDSzO7R7W5zollMb84k-UAN3Owm-SptX1L8DjvysF-7ehjVDfmUKFovMmPL_WeDaq6cTHu1tafEXYyfyriAbLWHh-lgN7SGtpYa-zw/s1600/Ann+Birthday+hop+2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;birthday celebration gesso and paint&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0ussY9RqdQdCML4nP_LBTXSrAAJM84vc07VzYBDSzO7R7W5zollMb84k-UAN3Owm-SptX1L8DjvysF-7ehjVDfmUKFovMmPL_WeDaq6cTHu1tafEXYyfyriAbLWHh-lgN7SGtpYa-zw/s400/Ann+Birthday+hop+2.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Using the ColorBox™ Background Basics by Ann Butler ( Checks1), I &lt;b&gt;stamped into the wet gesso. &lt;/b&gt;Let everything dry before proceeding.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY-xNLjd8JmOL33laiErhK1hDebgch-7EGSTj3Znw0ZXIntsyVB4_65KeuSF5cVQStZ_irumP2OKVMcY1yfC_P3KO-GnWmq2yttR50La1Vbzn9-A-USMTJ4EcJzGZixhbHirvIXdxu2pc/s1600/Ann+Birthday+hop+3.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;birthday celebration gesso and paint&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY-xNLjd8JmOL33laiErhK1hDebgch-7EGSTj3Znw0ZXIntsyVB4_65KeuSF5cVQStZ_irumP2OKVMcY1yfC_P3KO-GnWmq2yttR50La1Vbzn9-A-USMTJ4EcJzGZixhbHirvIXdxu2pc/s400/Ann+Birthday+hop+3.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Once dry, I used &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/iridescent-powders/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Earth Safe Finishes Iridescents&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; (rose), and the Blueberry, Ocean Breeze and Limelight inks to highlight the raised surfaces of the dried gesso. &amp;nbsp;Let everything dry.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwA_bJ7Lhe65UMUltVN2o36jRk204WWm_bQE3-dqVYOxTSOVaVk5NSl4NERjMVdeAf4LA_bzMbb_LcD_i1rzqy_qkmlRvaDBIC_pGY-CPvTSUn1CSa8rvDGpRl052VT4tF6ALO3YCASrw/s1600/Ann+Birthday+hop+4.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;birthday celebration gesso and paint&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwA_bJ7Lhe65UMUltVN2o36jRk204WWm_bQE3-dqVYOxTSOVaVk5NSl4NERjMVdeAf4LA_bzMbb_LcD_i1rzqy_qkmlRvaDBIC_pGY-CPvTSUn1CSa8rvDGpRl052VT4tF6ALO3YCASrw/s400/Ann+Birthday+hop+4.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I attached the pink DCWV Self-adhesive Frame Border and then adhered the ceramic medallion (that I previously made) to the centre. And voila!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I&#39;d like to thank CHA for making my attendance possible; I&#39;m a very lucky girl!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

John Petersen loves what he does -- and it shows! I loved the 2 workshops I took with him and learned a lot from him. &amp;nbsp;I can&#39;t wait to break out the pastes and inks and create beautiful DIY projects for my home.&lt;/div&gt;

Thank you for joining me today as I get to create with Deflecto® for the very first time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirq0TArJ2RS6iWXDtWSNJeerQ_syewrd2A5LXjGf3wewGgs9wCSw6EhnoXb73YKdk6JEdcMAKm9QMFzkRGjVbBf8Zc0OrbeDYqHAWk3m9aGulv4uEiEMRRA7WBhMspOj__XkeYCWrG3jI/s1600/Deflecto+Blog+Hop+Welcome.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DIY Decor with Deflecto Frames and Ann Butler Designs&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;148&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirq0TArJ2RS6iWXDtWSNJeerQ_syewrd2A5LXjGf3wewGgs9wCSw6EhnoXb73YKdk6JEdcMAKm9QMFzkRGjVbBf8Zc0OrbeDYqHAWk3m9aGulv4uEiEMRRA7WBhMspOj__XkeYCWrG3jI/s400/Deflecto+Blog+Hop+Welcome.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Deflecto®&lt;/b&gt; very generously sent us 2 lucite frames and we could do whatever we liked with them.&amp;nbsp; As a member of the &lt;b&gt;Ann Butler Design&#39;s Creative Team&lt;/b&gt;, I also get to incorporate Ann&#39;s wonderful products into this project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYvMoZ6nsKjuRAmtMw6dNUQp1-6T4Bw1bB5OWUDMBU8FNrKeBZRz9C8OHUObf742HsgXX2_DAN54rvKZtHxhrpqKjVIkBjV-R01VLFFgCo0Jego_G9G_ULC6we-Pj4GYvkrFEH4x6BxkA/s1600/Deflecto+Hop+feature+1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DIY Decor with Deflecto Frames and Ann Butler Designs&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;270&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYvMoZ6nsKjuRAmtMw6dNUQp1-6T4Bw1bB5OWUDMBU8FNrKeBZRz9C8OHUObf742HsgXX2_DAN54rvKZtHxhrpqKjVIkBjV-R01VLFFgCo0Jego_G9G_ULC6we-Pj4GYvkrFEH4x6BxkA/s400/Deflecto+Hop+feature+1.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I sat with the blank frames for several weeks and couldn&#39;t decide what I should do, but I finally decided to use the frame and its sturdy build to become a stand-alone canvas for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What did I use:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Deflecto® 8&quot;x10&quot; lucite stand up frame&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ann Butler Designs &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-background-basics-by-ann-butler&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Clearnsap® background stamps,&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Picnic1 and Diamonds 1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Castin&#39;Craft®&lt;a href=&quot;http://eti-usa.com/easy-sculpt/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Easy Sculpt® Epoxy Modeling Clay&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;DecoArt® media Liquid glass - clear&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Powertex sculpting colours: red, yellow, ivory, bronze,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Powertex® l plaster statuette&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Powertex® Colortrix pigments - turquoise, gold, yellow&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;masking tape, paint brushes, dowels, disposable gloves&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;pieces of fabric, t-shirt, gauze, embellishments, sticker sentiment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
At first I thought I was just going to make a frame around the border and be done with it, But once I discovered how sturdy and durable the frame was, I decided to put it to a test and see how much of &#39;my abuse&#39; it could withstand!&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYnE4lQrAyT2kkN_bmsX_LbSX-Fjqk_Ld0NAPNv9VEeLyASjPSNzWgRlSY4kdhI7xzPwe0yPv3H3im_aOwVIo6D2eVCtWbPGt7RpKXwO53dHFxfBHFWO0qF4qG-JKTsewOezEHcC4R7_4/s1600/Deflecto+Hop+detail+zoom+3.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DIY Decor with Deflecto Frames and Ann Butler Designs&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYnE4lQrAyT2kkN_bmsX_LbSX-Fjqk_Ld0NAPNv9VEeLyASjPSNzWgRlSY4kdhI7xzPwe0yPv3H3im_aOwVIo6D2eVCtWbPGt7RpKXwO53dHFxfBHFWO0qF4qG-JKTsewOezEHcC4R7_4/s400/Deflecto+Hop+detail+zoom+3.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Look at the gorgeous patterns and texture that enhances the frame. I use Ann&#39;s stamps to get that fantastic look!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I taped off the entire front of the frame with masking tape, vertically.&amp;nbsp; I thought that at the very least it would create interesting texture under the paint.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I mixed the modeling clay and placed it in a few spots on the frame in a medium layer, in order to leave some &#39;give&#39; when I pressed the background stamps into the clay. I didn&#39;t wait too long. I sprinkled some talcum powder on the clay surface before stamping, thus ensuring a clean impression and no clay residue left in the rubber.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

3. I placed more clay down where I was planning to place the head, and stamped the entire surface.&amp;nbsp; Next I painted my plaster head and secured it into the still-moist clay.Let your piece dry for about 1/2 hour and then you may start added dabs of paints, and dry-brushing colours onto the clay.&lt;br /&gt;
4. Dip your cloth into Powertex and drape it around the goddess.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Add gauze, paper decoration, lace .. to your taste.&lt;br /&gt;
5. Secure your sentiment with Liquid Glass and brush a coat of Liquid Glass over your words.&amp;nbsp; Liquid Glass can also enhance objects on your canvas, including buttons, facial features, words...&lt;br /&gt;

Finally, I have to say &lt;b&gt;I am thrilled with the quality and sturdiness of the frame&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; -- I added a lot of weight to the surface - and will &amp;nbsp;it again as a &#39;very easy stand-alone canvas&#39;!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
Grab some popcorn and send the children out of the room...&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
AT the CHA retreat in June I was asked to speak at the end of the conference to &#39;share my story&#39; and explain why I think belonging to CHA is so important.&amp;nbsp; Alas, we ran out of time, so here is (basically) what I was going to say:&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 1/2 years ago I was crafting away and wondering what I wanted for myself? I had few professional commitments and having a problem focusing on what I really wanted to do: what would make me happy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;float: left; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-PyFYxal3ZrPRkvryNEMaERu6mly9hVKzNDB5nJhuNXNKomhXJau6cM5gZAF-Jmau4N4HQPHqhIdDvQr4q65yF5HOOXjk1u5fYmkUo3hH9qveSyVjGXTS6UbI9oTrLsjAP9jwvM0i4C4/s1600/photo24.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;CHA changed my life&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-PyFYxal3ZrPRkvryNEMaERu6mly9hVKzNDB5nJhuNXNKomhXJau6cM5gZAF-Jmau4N4HQPHqhIdDvQr4q65yF5HOOXjk1u5fYmkUo3hH9qveSyVjGXTS6UbI9oTrLsjAP9jwvM0i4C4/s320/photo24.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;*&lt;/span&gt;Roberta: BEFORE CHA. So Sad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I decided to invest in myself and register for the first CHA retreat in Canada.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It promised to be a weekend full of workshops and creativity. I didn&#39;t know what to expect, who I would meet, or if I would even &#39;belong&#39; in that group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;In a nutshell, 1 1/2 years later, EVERYTHING I am doing now is because of my decision to become a CHA member and attend that first CHA retreat!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Not only did I participate, learn, grow and network, I milked every single last drop out of that opportunity. Let&#39;s face it: we have opportunities presented to us on a daily basis- it is what we do with those opportunities (if we even recognize them in the first place) that determines our path and defines who we are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;I decided to set myself a first goal&lt;/b&gt;: Become a Designer Member, start getting paid for my work, and attend my first CHA Mega Show in Anaheim, CA.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Ann Butler,&lt;/b&gt; who I knew from the industry and online, and I met in-person for the first time at that retreat. There was something about Ann that drew me towards her and I recognized this as my first opportunity: Ask her questions, get advice, and figure out how she might be able to help me and ask for that help.&lt;br /&gt;
Check, check, and check.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;georgia&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;times new roman&amp;quot; , serif;&quot;&gt;So what am I doing today?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I am on 3 design teams: I am leading one of them and overseeing the Blogs and SEO editing of the other 2&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I have had multiple projects published in magazines and books.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Helping edit a magazine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A contributing Blogger for ETI Resin&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Regular contributor to Prime Publishing: FaveCrafts and Cheap Eats &amp;amp; Thrifty Crafts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Virtual Assistant to a Craft Publisher&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Plus, after being introduced to Powertex at that first retreat, by Brigitte Thompson, I am now:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; An artist and Certified Instructor and Distributor of Powertex.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;...and getting paid!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not bad. Not bad at all.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;

How often have you purchased a paper kit or attended a workshop and you have papers, ephemera, stickers, glue dots, etc leftover?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Answers:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
a) Tons&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
b) All the time&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
c) OMG you have no idea&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
d) I&#39;m too embarrassed to say&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, well, I have a very large bin FULL of large, plastic, zippered bags of kit leftovers. Enough is enough, I say! :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kit I am using today is from a wonderful &lt;b&gt;Maya Road &lt;/b&gt;workshop I took 1 1/2 years ago with Caroline, herself ( and yes, she is just as amazing and sweet in person). I already made 5 gorgeous cards at the workshop and today I am creating 5 &#39;leftovers cards&#39;, and there is enough product left for several more projects! &amp;nbsp;Talk about bang for your buck!&lt;br /&gt;
To further challenge myself, I am not using any stamps or inks!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What did I use?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Congratulations to Roberta Birnbaum of &lt;a href=&quot;http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/62141722:30208971708:m:1:2580553485:9FA3D8591AE2DC8D6AED00144FE5E7F9:r&quot;&gt;DecorablesArt&lt;/a&gt;,
who won the Blog Hop’s top prize: $500 toward travel to the Paper Arts+ Show in
July! Roberta, who is a CHA member, was the first to decode and tweet the
phrase that was formed from each “password” listed at the end of each Blog Hop
post. The phrase was, “We can’t wait to see you in Chicagoland for the CHA
Paper Arts+ Show!”&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

Yep -- 2 of the hoppers forgot to include their secret words on the posts, BUT I still figured it out!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

Who doesn&#39;t love an easy birthday card? Go ahead, call me lazy, but I prefer to describe myself as a practical card maker. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY15LFeliXyuGV6QE5PNMxkhXA1FS7Pd84jSIMbO3B4ICSt8jWkEhlrFqxCovDEwoWQPOMebfV8bVaplboRgBeRYEE5EQhPN4WwDR9VKb9e54tndPuvBUQaGb4J1iakObBBHwcyw_qT_w/s1600/birthday+card+__13.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;easy birthday card tutorial&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY15LFeliXyuGV6QE5PNMxkhXA1FS7Pd84jSIMbO3B4ICSt8jWkEhlrFqxCovDEwoWQPOMebfV8bVaplboRgBeRYEE5EQhPN4WwDR9VKb9e54tndPuvBUQaGb4J1iakObBBHwcyw_qT_w/s400/birthday+card+__13.JPG&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;343&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
I don&#39;t make as many cards as I once did; having gone to the &#39;dark side&#39; and focusing more on mixed media and Powertex™ sculpting.&lt;br /&gt;But once in a while, usually for a special occasion, I create a card, and I happen to really love this one.&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What did I use?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpc76ogfEaGWGrfu4FJYeZnAK6igyXW8E6FSl59o4l8VucGKv0YEK2YBVJzxTCt2hNvTMwo8U4-Navpu05CuQZwDMsP2AUsFVYhpOonPN7u5bblBbz1wAJKLvlgRGaztwmYV7N8lsVtAY/s1600/birthday+card+__03.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;easy birthday card tutorial&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;390&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpc76ogfEaGWGrfu4FJYeZnAK6igyXW8E6FSl59o4l8VucGKv0YEK2YBVJzxTCt2hNvTMwo8U4-Navpu05CuQZwDMsP2AUsFVYhpOonPN7u5bblBbz1wAJKLvlgRGaztwmYV7N8lsVtAY/s400/birthday+card+__03.JPG&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;White cardstock for 5&quot; x 7&quot; card&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UsArtquest PPA™ - Gloss&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UsArtquest Mini Prills™, Heart of Gold and Seas the Day&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Unity &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/1-stripes-dots-hearts/&quot;&gt;Ann Butler faux-quilting stamps&lt;/a&gt;, 1&quot; Strips.Dots.Hearts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ColorBox Crafter&#39;s™ Ann Butler inks, Limelight&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spritz™ paper straws&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maya Road trim&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flower die cuts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MAMBI journal cards&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;brushes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How did I do it?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stamp the front of the card with the dots stamp, in limelight ink, and randomly brush on some limelight with your paintbrush.&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOrYTia4FXfaSmsE-tzhbEzQmWtDUUzidA3BKOzcd5QQM9jb-prET3KqACUPKOiuYUkw1cU7zxC-5BmGrB3o7pj1WPYZF4NqEYhpohsN1cwYEMt1ftPNrNwa0xDd6mGop8JAmYe3nJChQ/s1600/birthday+card+__01.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;easy birthday card tutorial&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOrYTia4FXfaSmsE-tzhbEzQmWtDUUzidA3BKOzcd5QQM9jb-prET3KqACUPKOiuYUkw1cU7zxC-5BmGrB3o7pj1WPYZF4NqEYhpohsN1cwYEMt1ftPNrNwa0xDd6mGop8JAmYe3nJChQ/s400/birthday+card+__01.JPG&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;352&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adhere the sentiment card with PPA™&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Glue the floral die cuts with PPA™&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Attach the white trim with PPA™.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cut the straw to fit and run a line of PPA™&amp;nbsp;where it will touch the trim. &amp;nbsp;As you place it, gently flatten the straw. &lt;b&gt;FULL DISCLOSURE&lt;/b&gt; - I wanted to attach green ribbon to the white trim, but it wouldn&#39;t stick, so instead of getting off my butt and getting another glue, I grabbed my straws and decided to use them.&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;With leftover straw, unroll the straw and cut triangular confetti and glue it to the card&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCffxZCUChbNigOAYSLMVg_cVBkMzzWaEekmtSOn03pHEyLrf5tlXJU5LwGyEtWNiU9s1Cyt8dqGAkA0B4ul1Nel0lZlEQdyw4_RXKmvukybBjCcC_7BV_7QxYoZ7ee80sLbo4hrlatqk/s1600/birthday+card+__07.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;easy birthday card tutorial&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;341&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCffxZCUChbNigOAYSLMVg_cVBkMzzWaEekmtSOn03pHEyLrf5tlXJU5LwGyEtWNiU9s1Cyt8dqGAkA0B4ul1Nel0lZlEQdyw4_RXKmvukybBjCcC_7BV_7QxYoZ7ee80sLbo4hrlatqk/s400/birthday+card+__07.JPG&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enhance the front with the mini Prills™&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Because PPA also leaves a lovely gloss, I coated the straw and lightly dropped prills™ onto it while it was wet.&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Rj3fCssxZyi8h0pltKDSHOYc1uJPFivia6CKIuThx7h8-T73-Dqg26JdFUC3Z-njLrtNB-D2qFdeNikr6SbZjpMn2QRZrEPkT6m8RXs-UDTtcGIxu9ancomC4TCKNwq-yxKAxUi2NLw/s1600/birthday+card+__16.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;easy birthday card tutorial&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Rj3fCssxZyi8h0pltKDSHOYc1uJPFivia6CKIuThx7h8-T73-Dqg26JdFUC3Z-njLrtNB-D2qFdeNikr6SbZjpMn2QRZrEPkT6m8RXs-UDTtcGIxu9ancomC4TCKNwq-yxKAxUi2NLw/s400/birthday+card+__16.JPG&quot; title=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Glue inside sentiment.&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I picked up some blank compacts a little while ago and thought I would be decoupaging them or pouring resin in the bezel. &amp;nbsp;I was working with EnviroTex Jewelry Clay, blending colors and experimenting, when I decided to put make a personalized compact with jewelry clay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Sprinkle a little powder on top of the clay and then press the alpha stamp into the surface&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Remove stamp and allow the clay to harden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Rub lustre on the surface to get your desired effect and let dry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I started an art journal several years ago and did a really good job making it; I used my best watercolour papers, ribbons, tape,&amp;nbsp;etc... &amp;nbsp;and only filled half of it. &amp;nbsp;I am now committed to&amp;nbsp;finish this art journal so I may create a new one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;sentiment stickers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I used the inks to cover my pages and find they work beautifully with watercolor paper. To adjust the color once it&#39;s on the page, I take a wet wipe and wring it out and then gently rub the surface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I use this technique to create a watercolor effect because I place my ink on the page but leave white areas into which I will blend the ink with liquid. ( here I used the wet wipes, but of course water and a brush will do).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Resin is one of my favourite mediums. &amp;nbsp;When I started I thought it was just good for pouring into a bezel, but I quickly learned that it&#39;s possibilities are infinite. Working with Environmental Technology Inc has afforded me so many opportunities to work with resin products. &amp;nbsp;Today on the ETI Resin Crafts blog I show you how to create a background with resin.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Today I present a little &#39;behind the scenes&#39; look at my work process. I like to sketch and most of my sketches start as doodles and zentangles, but most are &lt;b&gt;sketches of future projects.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;It is in my DNA to write things down, or put pen/pencil to paper. &amp;nbsp;It is the way I have always tried to make sense of things in my life. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;My giant sketch book is for all my thinking, calculating, and dreaming.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Here is an example of different ideas I currently have in my mind for projects:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
