Projects Made on Location

Yesterday I shared some art I made on the airplane and in my hotel room.  Today I'm sharing several projects that I made in the midst of filming Scrapbook Soup in order to fill two holes.  It's always interesting to make projects during filming -- high tension.  The projects have to look good and they usual require using very specific supplies and techniques, which can be limiting.  I prefer to think of them as a fascinating puzzle that has to get done as quickly and efficiently as possible.  An art game of sorts!

First up, I needed a project that was:

1. extremely colorful
2. showed off vellum adhesive 
3. showed off Decoration Tape
4. used a Stamp Roller

This is what I came up with:

You can see the dot Roller Stamp in the background.  I used vellum to help the title pop off the busy background.

I used the heart Decoration Tape to create the wonky photo mat and the heart embellishment -- which takes advantage of the transparency of the tape (you can see that over the watercolor).

My next assignment was to create a collection of projects from project leftovers.  Each project had to have a technique that could be demonstrated in less than 2 minutes. Here's what I came up with:

This card is a smash together of two projects from the show -- I shared how you could take the design of a Christmas card and completely change the tone by changing the color scheme.

This is a simple version of my Junque Journal concept.  I took the leftover bits from lots of projects, punched a hole in each of them and used a key ring to bind them into a mini album!

This card is a mashup of several projects -- The background is a discarded leftover, the flower is one too, and the heart was poached from a scrapbook page.  In the segment I share how to create the sentiment tag.

The flock of butterflies and the title on this page were created using a leftover scrap of painted paper!

So, there you have it, a few colorful projects made on location.  I always learn so much about myself when I create under pressure.  It's a great way to figure out what you *must* have to create and to force yourself to stop diddling around with decisions.  Time pressure always forces a commitment!  

Thanks for stopping by!
