DEMO #2 - Maya Road Mists
There is no such thing as ugly paper! Have you ever made your own background paper, or do you have patterned paper that you think, "Why did I ever buy this"? Well, you can "change" it and make it new again!
Here is a piece of paper that I made with paints. I was not thrilled with the end results.
I decided to use it to make ATCs (Artist Trading Cards). So, I cut it up, and it instantly looked a lot better.
Then I spritzed on some Maya Road Gold Metallic Mist, hand stamped an image, and the cards took on a whole different look then when I first started.
You can do the same with patterned paper to change how it looks. Experiment with paint, cut it into different sizes and shapes. You do not have to be stuck with "ugly" paper!
Color Me Miki will be selling the Maya Road Mists. They go on sale on March 31st at 7 PM!
Look for another demo in a couple of days. Hmmm ... Claudine Hellmuth ... canvas ...

DEMO #1 - Grunge Paper and Glitz Stickles
WELCOME to DEMO #1!
We've got so many cool new products in that we just had to show them to you. In this demo, we'll be showing you the new Tim Holtz Grunge Paper. Yes, PAPER! It's so very cool. It is sold in packs of 3, and they are 12x12. It's very thin and flexible. Here is a picture showing how it thin it is and how it bends.
And since it's so thin, it cuts beautifully in the Cuttlebug!
And then we ran it through one of the Cuttlebug embossing folders. Sorry the picture is a little blurry.
Here is another picture after the flower has been painted. The flower was painted first with alcohol ink, and then a Distress Ink pad was brushed over the top so that you can see the embossed swirls.
And here is the flower all put together. The bottom and top flowers were painted with the new Maya Road Garnet Metallic Mist. You can't see it in the pictures, but the flowers have a shine to them. The petals were then outlined with the new Suze Weinberg Glitz Stickles. I just love these stickles! They combine more than one color in a bottle. For instance, the one used on the flowers is a combination of red, gold, green, blue, and silver glitter. They are very pretty glitters!
Now, you may be thinking, why do I **need** grunge paper?! It is very durable. So if you want to embellish anything that will be handled a lot, it won't rip or tear like cardstock can. And it does seem thin enough to even go through your Cricut! It was very cool to play with!
All of these products (Grunge Paper, Maya Road Mists and Glitz Stickles) will go sale on March 31st at 7PM.
And, there is still more to come!

It's March 15th!
That means sneak peek time! We have two kits for you for April, "Home" and "Garden". Here is a quick look at both of them ...
They are both so cute and filled with all new CHA 2009 products. Little things that fit in a Shoebox, mixed with other Craft-y goodies that are just Prima!
I also want to share with you this layout I did using the March add-on kit, Ruby. I also used embellishments from the March main kit, Scarlet. I just love these new papers from Prima, and the Chatterbox chipboards are so cute!!
Unfortunately, we are sold out of the Chatterbox Chipboard Shapes, but we still have the Chipboard Words in stock.
Later this week, I am going to share with you some cool things I've been experimenting with ... New mixed media products that will go on sale probably this weekend! So much fun! And, I'll also have more sneak peeks later in the week!
Have a great week everyone!
