How to Give Yourself a Black Lace Manicure

Just remember the secret is a top coat nail polish for all layers.  Can you imagine the possibilities for scrappers?  You can use the same technique with:

• tulle
• fabric
• ribbon
• paper

I can't wait to scrap my nails!  Enjoy!

A Year in the Life of an Art Journal

If you have ever wanted to break out from scrapbooks into something a little more "artsy", this is the way to do it.  A Year in the Life of an Art Journal is a site that posts prompts twice a month that will allow you to create your own art journal.  And your journal does not have to be a traditional journal, it can be just about anything: a deck of cards, flashcards, paper taped or glued together.  The site itself is loaded with ideas and help.  You can view art journal creations here.

By signing up for prompts, they'll be delivered to your email box on the 15th and 30th.  You can sign up for the prompts here.  There is also an Ning community you can join where you can make new friends and share ideas.  And in the end, not only will have a great personal work of art, but you'll become a better scrapbooker as well.  Enjoy!

New Project from 7Gypsies

Would you like instructions on how to make this?

 
It's an ATC tin with a mini book from 7Gypsies designed by guest designer Tena Sprenger .  And you can get the instructions here.  I love how this project has a mixed-media feel, but can easily be done by someone who's not a mixed-media artist.  You'll also get the instructions on how to make this cute wire photo and memory holder:

It's not too early to think about gifts for the holiday season.  And these projects would make great gifts.  Enjoy!
