Hi Doodle Doer's!
Sherri Caramico here - I am one of the Design Team Members and Educators at my FAVORITE Local Scrapbook Store (LSS) Scrap-a-Doodle Doo in Ramsey, NJ.
Thanks for stopping by! Please FOLLOW this blog and feel free to share/recommend it to your Scrappy Friends - as THE DOO TEAM has great plans to share lots of FUN ideas and techniques with you in the future!
For my first post - I'd LOVE to share a FUN project with you.
I taught this "Lots 'O Layers" Class at Scrap-a-Doodle Doo's CANDYLAND Weekend Crop event, on January 27, 28 & 29. This event was well attended by 90+ Scrappy Croppers, and all of them had (as always) a FABULOUS TIME!
The class sold out with 12 Lovely and Talented Ladies attending! They were all so pleased with their finished layout, and I am happy they enjoyed the class, and learning a new technique!
Since not everyone got into the class - I will be teaching a similar one at the store in the very near future! Watch this Blog and Scrap-a-Doodle Doo's Facebook Page for a Date and Time!
Until then - I'll share the photos of the layout that we created at the Candyland Weekend.
I used a piece of "YAM" Bazzill cardstock for the base - I really love how it picked up and made the light orange color in the frame stand out.
The other papers are from the beautiful Webster's Pages Lady's and Gent's line - "Groomed Traveler" and "Pretty Up" I just LOVE the Blue and Green combo in these papers!

| The blue frame originally had an outside measurement of 12"x12" but just look at what a little water, and folding ( or smushing) can do! It transforms it into a smaller frame that allows the beautiful green paper to edge the layout so nicely! |
(hmmm.... I think that would be a good idea for a future Tutorial ~ don't you?!)

| Here is a close up of some of the detail. |

| The plain paper Prima Flower was "inked" with Ranger Distress Stain in Shabby Shutters. |

| In this close up, you can see the dimension you can achieve with this water distressing technique. I hope this inspired you to get out your Mini Mister, spray some paper with water and smush away! I'd love to have you join me in my upcoming class for a hands on lesson in Water Distressing! Again, watch this blog and Scrap-a-Doodle Doo's facebook page for more details! Thanks for stopping by! Please feel free to leave a comment or ask a question, if you have any, about this technique - I'd be happy to reply! ((HUGS)) ~ Sherri |
