Smash Book part 4

Hello everyone! sorry about my silence the last few days. It's been quite busy lately between orders and personal stuff.

Anyway, below are photos of the next few pages of my Smash Book.

Glimmer Mist, Gesso and torn out pieces from a magazine:

What I do when I make a mistake...unwanted scrapbook paper, lol. But I distressed the edges: 

Gelatos, glimmer mist and bubble wrap with Color Box pigment ink:

Perfect Pearls and Distress ink (on edges). Hmm, this one did not come out as well as I hoped. But there was an unintended consequence: everywhere I stamped perfect medium it shows:

And that's it for today! Check back tomorrow :-).

My morning at Prima Marketing

On Saturday I spent my morning at Prima Marketing learning how to make an Art Journal; I'm guessing it's otherwise known as a Smash Book (is there a difference?). Although we did not have enough time to finish our books, they gave us instructions on various techniques which I can't wait to try once I return home. There were also some really cool products we used, which I can't wait to get into the store.

Below are only some of the techniques we learned. I took a total of 51 pics of the project.
