New Content: First Impressions!


Hi, everyone; Marie here with a new review and new content for the YT channel.

Occasionally, I will try new things but I hardly see anyone post reviews or first impressions on the things I try. I will give a grade based on product claim and ease of use.

That said, here's my First Impression on the Tonic Easy Clean Mat (Warning: Glitter gets EVERYWHERE, I need stock in Swiffer cloths, and the mat does a good job.).














Ease of Use: A-. It does stick to the surface of the table and it's hard to reposition once it's "stuck". You can lift it up and reposition without issue.

Product Claim: B. While it is easy to clean using a microfiber or Swiffer cloth, you can't dump contents back into container by lifting mat up and funneling Messy Stuff into container. Just. Won't. Happen.

Overall: B+. As long as you position the mat next to the table's edge, it would be easy to wipe Messy Stuff into its original container. Would keep using.

Until next time...

Toodles!

Mojo Monday 500...

Go figure that I enter the very last time Mojo Monday occurs! That said, the sketch was a good one: So, seeing some of the designs that came in did help, but I wanted something a bit different. I love Verve Stamps and I wanted to convey a "happy trails" kind of theme without being too sappy (I am a bit of a sap, but don't ruin my rep!).  I came up with this: The paper came from Illustrated Fairh, the ribbon came from Hobby Lobby, and the sentiment is from Verve's New Mercies set.  I also figured out the two-finger bow method that Gina K. uses on her cards. Yay! As a newer card maker, this was a push in the right direction; I like being challenged and I liked this result. :) Happy crafting! ~Marie

Today's Adventure: Watercolor!

Image
Hi, everyone! Marie here with something really neat. I figured I needed to seriously up my watercoloring game, so I signed up for the Simply Watercolor class at  Online Card Classes  that is hosted by Kristina Werner; I'm glad I did because she is really good at watercolor! Anywho, today is Day 1 of the class and I have three examples of what I'm doing! Card 1: A really nifty technique that had me try plaid (and my shaky attempt doesn't look too bad); I will definitely keep trying in the near future, because I love the look of plaid! Card 1: Mad About Plaid Card 2: I really like how this turned out; the variation of color per row and column makes it eye-catching.  Card 2: Grids! Card 3: Another geometric design, but using circles as an example. I can definitely see this used for bubbles on other cards or possibly glass orbs, if the wash and shading is right. Card 3: Circles After finishing this first class, I can honestly say it was $20 well-spent. I'...
