POW! Sneak peek of collab by ModernJune and Miss Mis

2011-10-03T17:55:00.000-07:00

OMG, I'm in love with this collab from ModernJune and Miss Mis! It releases Oct. 9th at Scrapable, so check out the sneak peek until then:

And in other news... I'm now a CT for Scrapable! The site is so fun and relaxed and the designers are awesome (as you can tell by that sneak peek!). :)

I'm retiring

2011-08-01T16:18:00.000-07:00

I have decided, after months of deliberation, that I am retiring. Both stores are now closed.

I am pregnant and I have so little energy! I can barely do the laundry lol. Sitting down at the computer and coming up with a fun kit idea--let alone actually designing items for it!--is practically impossible. Perhaps in a year or two, once the baby is out of infancy (meaning, we've got a nice little schedule down lol, and I have a tiny bit of free time!), I'll start designing again more aggressively. In the meantime, I'll post a freebie every once in awhile. :)

Cheers,
Sara

Mood crayons (from chocolate molds)

2011-04-04T16:10:00.000-07:00

So a few weeks back I posted a Wordless Wednesday of some crayons I made using this Mood mold. It's actually for chocolate. (Click here for full-size pic.) They're super easy to make, and super fun for kids to help with! Plus it's a great way to reuse broken crayon nubs. :)

I've had a few comments on my personal fb account about how I made them. :) So here goes:

preheat oven to anywhere from 150 to180 degrees. (If your child helps make them, then the prep might take some time. You might not need to preheat the oven until like step 2.) Since oven temp varies, I can't be more specific. ;) Our oven temp is low, so I set mine to 180. Just don't let them melt too quickly because the colors melt together and you get a yucky blob instead of bright colors, like in my pic.

1. Organize the crayon bits into cute color combos*. This way your kid(s) won't end up combiing every color for one mold, which would then melt into 12 grayish/brownish combos. Not pretty.

2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the mold on top. That way, if any crayon pieces fall onto the sheet, then you don't have to worry about the crayon melting ONTO your sheet. Mmm, nothing like a chunk of crayon in your next batch of cookies!

3. Fill the mold with your presorted crayon nubbies. Fill them almost to the top but definitely not over the top of the mold.

Here's a pic of the filled mold (this was before I realized that putting down parchment paper and filling the mold on the cookie sheet was a better idea. Teehee!):

4. "Cook" them in the oven for about 10 minutes. I checked on them every 3 minutes after those first 10 minutes (wax will BURN if it gets too hot, so please please please check on them!). They took anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes to melt, depending on the brand of crayon.

5. Set them on a cooling rack for a few minutes. Once they're set, gently tug the edges of the mold to help loosen the crayons. Then gently pop them out. Don't wait too long before removing them from the mold: they'll get a white coating (kind of like what chocolate gets if you freeze it).

And that's it! It isn't a lot of of hard labor lol but they do take time to make because you have to watch them, especially the first time you make them so they don't "over-melt." They only need to melt enough so the colors fuse together. If they turn completely liquid then, like I've said about five times already lol, the colors combine into ugly grays/browns.

*I had my 3.5yo pick her fave two or three colors for each mold. She put the crayon bits into a silicone cupcake cup and then into the mold. That way we could "measure" how much we needed for each mold. You don't need a lot.

Ah, another week goes by, another bajillion wonderful LOs have filled the galleries! Here are a few that stood out to me.

The simple-colored alphas don't compete with the LO's gorgeous colors and the bg ppr reminds me of the marginalia I might write/doodle in my fave books. :)

Explore Books by Gonewiththewind

A clean heritage page. (Is it still heritage if it's about YOU?) Either way, love the journaling.

Sneak Peek from Aimee Harrison

OMG, this kit is gorgeous. Like, stunning! (And HUGE! I can't believe how many gorgeous ellies are packed in the kit lol!) Here's a sneak peek of Aimee's new kit Morning Fresh, releasing Friday, March 25! Check her store for the kit. :)

Check out Fort Wilderness!

Misty O'Brien has a fun new kit out called Fort Wilderness (and a great coordinating Carboard alpha):

Check out what I made with it!

My DD decided she wanted to go camping. We live smack-dab in the middle of a very big city, but she had no problem making camp right in our backyard. :)

working with Hue/Saturation and the color wheel

2011-03-22T07:53:00.000-07:00

Ever wonder why the hue/saturation dialog box has the option cyan? Or magenta? I found a nice, short (meaning "to the point"...gotta love it lol!) article about the visible color wheel and what the names mean.

It's actually part of a bigger article about fixing a color cast. It was written for PS CS2, but I think you could make it work for your program. (Oh, "make it work"...now I'm thinking about the wonderful Tim Gunn!) I'm going to be honest here...I'd never used the Variations dialog box until reading this article. :) I'm more of a Levels gal myself lol, but this article has got my brain working overtime: I've gotta explore PS CS3 more!

What's funny is, some of what this article talks about "fixing," I've incorporated into a few of my Old World Photo Actions. If you want to make a photo look a bit more 70s or a bit more vintage, check them out at my SATW Misses BeeHaven store.

And remember: coming soon I'll be selling as Tree City Studio! :) I just want to wait until I finish the awesome Polka Dot Plum Apprentice Program. That way, my PDP store and my MBH store can both have the same name. I need to do that for ME...gotta keep life simple, right?

Cheers,
Sara

Saturday Spotlight: stunning LOs from the past week

2011-03-18T19:19:00.000-07:00

Hello!

There are so many beautiful layouts in the galleries and they all deserve special attention...but unfortunately I can't fit them all in my Spotlight post. :) So I've decided to start a Saturday Spotlight post, which will highlight 7 layouts, one from each day of the previous week. :)

Beautiful paper layering and the pics are too adorable!

Cluster work is great...I don't know what the LO says lol, but I like words' opacity gradient.

Multiple Sclerosis Charity Kit: Great kit for a great cause!

2011-03-17T09:20:00.000-07:00

Movement: A Multiple Sclerosis Collab

Movement: A Multiple Sclerosis Collab - QP/Template Pack
Also comes in a bundle!

Movement: A Multiple Sclerosis Collab - Kit and QP bundle
March 14-20, 2011 is National Multiple Sclerosis Awareness week, and in honor of that, 34 designers got together to create a mega-kit called "Movement," and then a Creative Team got together to design matching Quick Pages and Templates.

MS stops people from moving, and we're raising money to help the National MS Society make sure that doesn't happen.

This kit includes 190 Papers, 419 Elements, 3 Alphas, and the QP set includes 42 QPs, 1 brag book, and 6 templates.

100% of the proceeds from the sale of this bundle go to the National MS Society, more specifically, Mandy Hornbuckle's BikeMS ride.

And here is the preview of my portion. It's one of the last things I'll create as Scrapping All The Way. :) In the coming months, I'll be making the transition to the design name Tree City Studio! I'm very excited. (I thought about making it a surprise announcement, but I'm not good with surprises. LOL!

mmm, changes are coming!

2011-03-10T14:35:00.000-08:00

If you're out in DigiscrappingLand, you may have heard of me. Well, you see, I'm changing my design name...and with that change comes a host of other changes: I need a new blog, a new email address, new design name logo, and a new blinkie. :) (And the list goes on!)

So I've created the blog first, simply so I know it's here and waiting to be filled with all the wonderful goodies I've created. But of course change can take time, so we'll see how long it takes for the transition from boring old name to Tree City Studio takes!
