My name is Karen Bearse & this is my 2nd year on the design team. I am also teaching at ScrapbooksPlus. My style is grunge, inky, eclectic & changes with my mood & whoever I am learning from at the time. I have been scrappin for 10 years although I have always cut up photos & put ephemera in albums. I like Supernatural, True Blood, & American Idol- (Adam Lambert should have won), I am still mourning 24 & Friends always makes me laugh-thanks to the reruns. I am re-reading the "Interview with the Vampire" series by Anne Rice, when I get a chance. Most of my photos are of my 3 crazy, fun kids. I love to travel & am not getting enough of that!
Ok so this month's kit was a challenge for me. I am not the big rose type & I am not a huge fan of pink. I had to pull out some weirdness to get this kit done! The good news is it forced me to stretch! The inspiration for this layout is Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas. All dies are from his Alterations line. I cut out the fence using the "On the Edge" die & painted it with picket fence crackle paint by Ranger. Pine trees were stamped with colors that blend into the back ground to make the trees look further away. The pine tree embellishment was cut out from paper in the kit & adhered to chipboard than a flourish was stamped with peeled paint distress ink.
Mr.Owl was stamped & painted using Glimmer Mist & adhered with a pop dot. The sign post was painted with glimmer glam & attached with brads. The title is made with Mrs. Grossman's Abigail caps stickers. I look forward to another year on the DTeam & I hope I can inspire you!
