Tattered Angels | Creators of Glimmer Mist and Scrapbooking Supplies It’s the moment we have ALL been waiting for–Tattered Angels is proud to release our newest addition to the TA family, Tattered Tangles, a collection of papers that inspires coloring inside of the lines and thinking outside of the box. When we were thinking about our newest line under the Tattered Angels brand, we had two objectives in mind: 1. Create a line that served as a starting place, but was open enough to let one’s creativity run free 2. Keep the line versatile enough to allow one’s personality to guide the direction of their project Complete with (6) 12″ x 12″ papers and (6) Tattered Tangles packs (sizes vary), the papers were designed to work with any color palette. To give you better insight into this new line of papers, we sat down with TA designer JoAnne Doshier to hear her thoughts on the making of Tattered Tangles. Q: What was your inspiration for creating Tattered Tangles. A: When creating, it’s often helpful to have a place to start. A: Yes, that is what is so exciting.
Wax Paper Resist I know, I seem to be on a background paper kick lately. I've been working on ATC cards for a swap so that's why I've been experimenting with them. I'll share my ATC's before I mail them off :) Anyway, today I have a really quick technique that offers up WAY cool results ~ Wax Paper Resist. It takes very little supplies ~ probably most of you already have ~ a small amount of time and it does require you to get a little inky ;) At least if you're like me it does - LOL!! Wax Paper Resist Supplies: Wax Paper Glossy Cardstock Iron Distress Ink Ink Blending Tool & Foam Non-Stick Craft Sheet Instructions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Here are a few finished examples.... You can use one color of ink.... or several.... Apply the ink in a gradient effect.... or wherever! I think this combination of inks ~ Scattered Straw, Vintage Photo & Walnut Stain ~ looks a bit like faux leather! So there you go... another fun background technique that is quick, inexpensive, and lots of fun! What do you think? Look like something you'd use?
How to Buy (and What's Inside) a Digital SLR Camera Single Lens Reflex (SLR) is a complicated term for a complicated machine. It refers to the prism and flip-up "reflex" mirror system that allows users to accurately focus and frame their shots directly through a camera's optics, rather than through a separate viewfinder. Until recently, most SLRs were the province of pros, requiring experience and training to master. But the digital era has created a new, growing class of consumer-grade digital SLR (DSLR) cameras that are easier to learn and use, yet still deliver pro-level photos. 1. Like most digital point-and-shoot cameras, digital SLRs have LCD displays--the largest of which are 3 in., diagonally. 2. DSLRs have image sensors that are 10 to 20 times the size of sensors on point-and-shoot cameras. 3. CompactFlash memory cards used to be the data storage capacity kings, but the far more popular Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) format now has cards with up to 32 GB, and newer DSLRs are trending toward it. 4. 5. 6. 7 Lens + Autofocus
DIY Paper Pinwheels The incredibly sweet Jessica of In the Hushed Hours was kind enough to share this tutorial for DIY paper pinwheels. I love pinwheels. Pinwheels strung on a mobile? I might love those even more. String your paper pinwheels from an embroidery hoop to make your own mobile perfect for a bedroom or for a party. {Photos from In the Hushed Hours.} Bits& A Year of Tags for You Sometime awhile back, I had a fun idea to make a book of tags for one month. (Read all about it here.) From time to time, I've received requests for more tags, and I finally got off my duff this weekend and made a complete set. The tags are little, fun, and easy. You can do with them whatever your little crafty heart desires. I did a few like this: I have that little album sitting on a small easel and I look at it regularly. So here you go, one full year of print ready taggers in PDF format.

Rose and Feather Hair Clip Tutorial I love this hair pin, so sweet. Fit for tea time, no? Or maybe stopping to smell the flowers… or the blue spruces…whatever suits your fancy. One things for sure, it will surely upgrade any ponytail. You have no doubt seen these everywhere, they are so easy to make. Supplies: fabric at least 25 inches long and 1½ inches wide for one flowerfeathershair clip,hot glue gun The bigger flowers I made were made with 32″ x 1½” pieces of silk, but for the smaller flower that my little one is using I used a 24 inch long piece. Start by folding the strip of fabric in half. Now run a thin strip of glue around one side. Working fast, twist the strip and pull around the hot glue. Now we have a rose. From a piece of scrap fabric cut a circle just smaller than the flower then drizzle hot glue on the back… And press the piece on. Depending on what hair clip you decide to use, you may need to add a little fabric. Using hot glue, open the clip and glue the fabric to the inside… It should look like this. And so cute!

It may sound clichéd, but the only rule in photography is that there are no rules. However, there are are number of established composition guidelines which can be applied in almost any situation, to enhance the impact of a scene. These guidelines will help you take more compelling photographs, lending them a natural balance, drawing attention to the important parts of the scene, or leading the viewer's eye through the image. Once you are familiar with these composition tips, you'll be surprised at just how universal most of them are. You'll spot them everywhere, and you'll find it easy to see why some photos "work" while others feel like simple snapshots. Rule of Thirds Imagine that your image is divided into 9 equal segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. Doing so will add balance and interest to your photo.

A Bath Pouf. That, Um, Looks Like a Rose.... Have you ever had an idea, and you thought "That's awesome! It'll be so fantastic!!" and then you make it, and you realize that it's really kind of kooky? That sort of happened here today. (well, a couple of days ago) I was trying to think of something to do with these old towels I had. It's a bath pouf. But, I thought I would post it anyway, on the odd chance that someone might want to make one. And if not, please enjoy a laugh at my expense :o) What you do, is cut about 1.5 inches off one side of towel (to get that finished edge), and two circles out of the middle. Gently pull the bottom thread to gather your strip, pretty tightly.Sew it onto one of the circles in a spiral shape, starting on the outside. Cut a 1.5"x6" strip, and finish the edges with a tight zig-zag stitch. Then pin the two circles together, with your 7" strip laid across the bottom.Sew a tight zig-zag around the two circles, sewing right over each side of the strip on the bottom. There. God bless! P.S.
