Rainbows in Twilight


AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! There have been many rain clouds hanging over my head lately. But today, I caught a rainbow! I am one of three Guest Designers for Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge!!! I cannot explain how badly I wanted this. With all that's been going wrong recently, I needed this. And, I worked my ass off... it worked! We needed to submit one of the previous challenges and create a new Twilight piece to the admin team for judging. I submitted my "Void" project (see my Void blog from April 11th.) and a mini album all about the Twilight Midnight Release Party (and my after-party). I will show you the mini album I made in my next blog (no brain to upload photos now... but you can check out a couple of pics on the TTIC Blog!).
I've just gotta say thank you to all the TTIC gals. They're all fantabulous and I am honored to be a part of the TTIC experience. I so look forward to creating awesome projects right along with them. I've already had so much fun with their challenges, I cannot wait to do even more! And now... I'm a Guest Designer!!!!!!!! I'm so proud!!!!!!
If you haven't been to the Twilight Tuesday site, PLEASE go and check it out! This is about more than just Twilight, this is about great designers. Oh, and a whole lotta fun too! http://www.twilighttuesday.com/

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Hop

This is a very exciting week for the Stampendous team! We are hanging out with the ultra cool Deco Art Mixed Media team, each using each other's products to share some incredible creations with you. These companies go hand in hand, so using each other's products is easy. And the results are amazing. We are of course featuring Andy Skinner's stamps, who is the DecoArt International Education Coordinator.  And yup, there are prizes! But I want you to go to the Stampendous Blog for all of that info. The link is at the bottom of the post. Now, on to my project. I made a cool wall hanging today. I started off with a piece of MDF and I drilled 2 holes, and covered it with DecoArt's white Gesso. After it dried, I used Andy's Alcohol and Media fluid Acrylics Layering Technique. You can check out his how-to video HERE . Needless to say, it's a great technique, and I loved doing it. Once I finished with the aforementioned technique, I sealed the piece w

Changes

Greetings! I don't have a project to share with you today, but rather, an announcement. I have decided to completely revamp my blog, and move it to a new site. I've been blogging at 21st Century Pillow Book for over 10 years now, and it's been wonderful. But the "Pillow Book" aspect got lost somewhere along the way. If you don't know what that is, read my description in the blog header, or do a quick search. They are really very cool. Anyway, I thought it was due time for me to work on a new blog, more of a brand, etc. So, I invite you to now join me over at alisonheikkila.com . I've still got some polishing up to do, and a whole lot of learning, as WordPress is completely different from Blogger, but I am really excited for this new site. I've wanted to do this for a long time, and I am happy to finally be getting it done. Bear with me as I figure out the best way to make it all look and flow. I thankfully have some help with that. But I think you
