oohhhh..la la....i hope i win...i hope i win....i hope i hope i hope i hope i hope i win...i was just thinking about what to do with all those acrylic paints that i love the thought of...tracy

Thanks for offering this Ali. I just learned how to solder and it is so much fun!!! Emily (www.LadyEM.etsy.com)

am really getting into mixed media more every day and using it in my scrapping projects.....would love to win
and can i ask Ali, did you have something on your blog a lil' bit back about a recipe book you were doing, used your search and couldnt find it

I have been altering dominoes. It's so fun to paint/stamp them and give them away. And they're the perfect size for a little creativity.

Oh...I hope it's not too late to enter. I love using paper and paint to recreate found objects.

Not sure if this qualifies as a technique, but I have been journaling like crazy. I went on a trip intended to scrapbook while traveling, and I ended up just taking photos and writing down my thoughts. I love it!

My favorite technique is always the last interesting one I learned. I just finished a kit from the uber-talented Carol Wingert that used spackle and a mask to create a textured album cover. Beautiful, messy and fun. Perfect combination!

My fav technique is a new one to me. I was at the book store and was flipping through Visual Chronicles and came upon the technique of "coloring" on black and white or sepia pictures with watercolor pencils/crayons and a bit of water. So easy to do and totally changes the look of any picture!

I love to make cards, right now I'm enjoying adding sewing embellishments to them.

Hi Ali~
My creative technique these days is catching up on all my favorite scrapbooking/photo blogs. They always give me inspiration to do something special with my 1000+ photos of summer. Working on mini books and updated photo collages for my walls are my favorites for Fall 08.
Thanks for the opp to win!

Wow. Playing with wax on canvas, painting with textures, and using a lot more fabric. Just not enough time in my day to do it all, but soooooo much fun. Hope you are feeling well Ali, and how excieting sharing this journey with your sis. Have a lovely day :-)

love playing with textures lately - it started when i scrapbooked and embellished a window made to look antique. super fun!

digital scrapbooking...definitely!

My fav technique? I've been going through a drought recently. But, just Sunday, I took out some acrylics and canvas and played around, inspired by some pieces you did a long time ago. I painted, used foam stamps from Lisa Bearnson and plastic cups to make circles. Thanks so much for your constant inspiration!

RIght now my favourite technique has to be using IPhoto to make photo books. I have done a few as Christmas gifts (I know, it's August) but they are gorgeous and I feel like I can easily mix beautiful photos with text and get a fantastic result. It really has motivated me to do more scrapbooking. I've been in a non-scrap mode all summer.

Lately I'm all about using old newspapers and junk mail to make things.

Scrapbooking...but mini books specifically are interesting me right now.

(I hope I'm not too late to post!) I've really gotten into photography lately. I'm taking a class and loving every minute of it! I've started delving into the digi-scrapbooking recently and hope to be able to have some wonderfully creative pictures to add!! Thanks Ali for all you do!
