Creative Space overhaul and a RG Make Amazing Happen share as well


Hi everyone!  Sorry it's been a while between drinks.  I've been super busy, followed by playing catch up and then being unwell.  Guess that is the life of busy mum.  I have some fun posts lined up for you all though, so make sure you keep popping over to my blog for loads of inspiration, video links, deals and some 'how to' thrown in there as well!  

First up I'm sharing a new RG project.  I have recently re-done my area in my craft room where all my RG and Fun Stampers Journey products are to help me get a whole lot more organised.  The thing I love about these products is that they team up with just about anything I want or need to create, so it is sure making it easier for me having them all within hands reach!  

Here is a peek at the space.  



As you can see in this picture the baskets easily slide out for me to access the goodies in there, but when not in use I can just slide them away giving me more 'creating space' - goodness knows I always need that!  

So I am sure you want to see a little of what I have been busy creating!  Well here is the first.... 


a card created using the recent 'deal of the day' by RG (unfortunately no longer able to be purchased in the 'deal' but each of the products can be purchased individually)

You can check out my video showing you a fun technique using Pan Pastels that I used to create this card.



Here is a list of products used on my project today:

Richard Garay Products:

Other products used:
Pan Pastels 'Mother Nature' set - Paynes Grey Tint
Journey Blooms Adhesive Tape Runner
Fun Stampers Journey  - Journey Foam Squares - Medium
Fun Stampers journey - Journey Thread - Black Licorice

Here are some more pictures of my card.  




I hope you enjoyed my share today.

Happy Crafting!

Melbourne Paperific Expo One week away!!

WOW I can't believe that Melbourne Paperific Expo is just one week away!  I am so very excited to be bringing Scrappy Chat Designs to the expo.  We will  have a stand selling the kits, some products and of course Tinby Designs Color Crush Watercolour powders!  I am also going to be teaching a number of classes.  After them being so very popular we have increased the classroom size to enable more people to come along and #GetCreativeWithBeckBT It's going to be so much fun!

For those that might have missed it here are the classes I'm teaching... Head HERE to book in

Mixed Media Reverse Canvas
Saturday 27th 10:00am 

Have you thought mixed media projects are beyond your level feeling more of a beginner or not that ‘Arty’?  Well come along to Beck’s Mixed Media reverse canvas class where she will de-mystify the world of mixed media with her no stress approach to layering and getting your hands dirty.

Suitable for all levels you are sure to have the ‘Ahhhh I can do this!’ moment.  In this class we will have fun creating a textured reverse mixed media canvas.  We will be sure to finish in the allotted class time having you walk away with a stunning piece you will find hard to part with while in Beck’s signature teaching style; learning lots of different techniques along the way. 

To create our stunning canvas we will be using various products including, divine IndigoBlu artist quality metallic cottage paints (you will see how truly amazing these are in the class) in a number of ways, Tinby Designs Color Crush watercolour powders, DecoArt Crackle medium, Seth Apter signature dies and IndigoBlu Megaflake to name a few.

Students will receive a pre-class video covering ‘what to bring’ to the class.

Explore Indigoblu 
Friday 26th August 1pm

Explore mixed media with IndigoBlu. In this class we will be creating a mixed media page and separate canvas exploring the use of many different Indigoblu products indluding  IndigoBlu's divine metallic paints, stamps, FlutterGlu and Mega-Flakes!  We will also be teaming that up with the use of Spellbinders dies in some different ways creating loads of fun to be had in class!

Explore Masculine styles class
 OR

Creating cards and layouts for the masculine half can be a little more challenging.  With age often playing a part we will be exploring some tips and techniques for tailoring them to various aged males and also ideas for more masculine styles.  With the cards we will move from little boys to teenage boys through to older men.  Using similar products in varying ways you will be armed with ideas on how you can better tailor masculine cards to age, while still making some really cool looking cards.  If you choose to create the layout you'll learn some tips and ideas for creating more masculine pages while learning new techniques and experimenting with various products along the way.  We will also delve into some mixed media in this class in an effort to help grunge it up, working with sprays, stencils, gesso and texture paste, as well as textures from Shimmerz and Metallic Melts by Tinby Designs.


Come along and create a scrapbook page or 3 cards all designed for you to explore your inner masculine style!
