We are so excited about this hop and we want to welcome all scrappers, artist and crafters. If you have arrived on my blog other than through the Hop, please click HERE. This will take you to Katie's blog, where all the fun for today starts. If you happen to get lost along the way, just come back here and start over. No worries! We have some great challenges and wonderful prizes going on here for this event. Once you have signed up at our forum you are on your way to great challenges, lots of talent, great forum and most of all FUN!
So anyway, let me tell you a little about me... my name is Sandi.. I started scrapbooking around 9 years ago. My hubby changed our spare bedroom into the most incredible studio for me - and if I could live in here, I would. In January I took a course taught by Melody Ross called Soul Restoration. It changed the way I looked at life and art - and I have discovered the joys of Mixed Media. I'm now in the midst of Soul Restoration II, loving every minute of it, and in 2 weeks will be heading to McCall, Idaho to meet Melody in person at Brave Girls Camp. If you've never heard of this, please click the link to the right somewhere ----> and read all about it.
A couple of months ago I was asked to be on the DT at Scrappers Sanctuary, and I have enjoyed every moment. We do some incredibly fun and inventive challenges, and our prize packages *cough*tim holtz*cough* are droolworthy.
So now for the excitement- my Blog Hop challenge to you is to create a mixed media piece - a vision board or vision cards. Never heard of that? I hadn't either - never fear. For a vision board, just go sit down with some magazines and cut out pictures that represent what you want your life to hold - words that represent your wishes... anything that you find beautiful, interesting or that calls your soul. Grab a big canvas... what's that you say? You don't have a canvas on hand? No problem. Got some cardboard? No? Got a cereal box? I'll bet you do... now paint it. Cheap craft paint. 88 cents. Go get some if you don't have some... in colors that you love. Get some mod podge while you're at it. Make believe you're in grade school again, cut your wishes out of magazines, and use mod podge to glue them down... and then cover everything with another layer of MP. Here's an example:
Don't want to do a vision board? Ok... do some vision cards! You can use playing cards... pieces of that cereal box... and now find some quotes that mean something to you. Print them out, cut them out. Ink 'em, distress 'em, do whatever you want with them... you can cover your cards with paper, paint... whatever floats your boat. MP down your quote. Cover everything with a layer of MP.
