Documented Life Project (DLP) - Trust

This is the first "Tip In" in my DLP Journal/Planner. I decided to begin my journal with my one perfect word for the year which is "Trust". The background is watercolor crayons scribbled on and then brushed with a water brush. The word "Trust" is stamped and I used a saying by Catherine Martin. I thought it was a good reminder to start the year with trust in God and representing that in my planner.

Pearlized Paper and Triptik Book

Last weekend, I took a class and made Pearlized Paper using Smooch Inks. Then we used the papers as part of a Triptik Book we made. These little inks are wonderful, and I love how the book turned out.

Card for a friend

This is a card I rubberstamped for a friend that hasn't been feeling very well. I stamped it with permanent black ink and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils using only 3 colors. I used the Primacolor Blender Pencil, for the first time, to blend the colors. I like the way it turned out, and I hope that she likes it too and it brightens her day. The cardstock and stamp are both from Stampin Up.

Color Class

Hi Everyone,

I've just completed an on-line course titled, "Understanding Color", and I'm including pictures of the final project. The course was 4 weeks long and taught by Teri Martin. She is a calligrapher, has her own line of scrapbook papers, etc, and she's a great teacher. The class was given at www.mycreativeclassroom.com I wondered how this on-line course would work, and whether it would be worth it or not, and I was pleasantly surprised. It went very well, and I'm looking forward to possibly taking another course in September. In this class we mixed whatever paints or inks that we had and made color wheels. We made small color studies and then made a small book to put them in. I took the class because I felt the need to learn more about color, so I can use it to make backgrounds for my calligraphy, rubber stamping and scrapbooking.

TAC Demonstrator and Learning To Blog

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything so it's due time. Since I am a lover of rubber stamping, scrapbooking, calligraphy and photography, I decided to become a demonstrator for The Angel Company. I don't know how well this is going to work, but I'm giving it a try. As soon as I can figure out how to post a picture to the right of this blog, I'll put up the most recent catalog. This whole thing with blogging, being a demonstrator for TAC and advertising that I'm doing this as a business along with calligraphy is a whole new step of faith for me. So I hope you'll be patient as I learn about blogging and how to do this. If anyone has any tips to share about blogging, please feel free to leave a comment. As I'm able, I'll share my adventures and creations with you. Linda
