September Expanding Your Options - Keri

Hi everyone, it's time again for my monthly series, Expanding Your Options!

This month, I've layered products from all of my past Frog Dog kits to create a fun DIY suncatcher for my kitchen window.
The idea for the design came from this great Joann's tutorial by Mark Montano. Cool, right?
Here's how I created the suncatcher:

Here's how the finished product looks:

And here's a close-up of how awesome the crackle/alcohol ink combo looks, with the sun shining in through the window:

Love this look, and can't wait to experiment even more with crackle+alcohol ink on transparent surfaces!
Thanks so much for joining me.

Art Journaling With Stencils and Texture

Hello...hello! Martha Richardson here...I'm so excited to be designing for Frog Dog Studio. I love the concept of this new mixed media kit club...not only will we share our projects from the monthly kit but also tutorials on how we created our projects. I have found my true passion in mixed media!

Today I have tutorials for you using the exclusive stencil in June's kit and the Pink Paislee Expressions Wood Shop in Sawdust. I used these to finish a page in one of my art journals. I have several art journals that I work on at a time and love the NO PRESSURE behind creating a journal page. I was never happy with the before page...random colors wiped onto the page as I was cleaning up from other pages {I just hate to waste any my paints, inks, sprays}. It was a page that I knew would someday come together and now I love the final effect.

I'm trying a new way to do a tutorial...more pictures...less writing. So let's get to it!

I hope you enjoyed these tutorials and I would love to know what you think about the presentation...too much...too little? Any suggestions would be truly appreciated!

Have a great weekend...hope to get some creative time in..how about you?
