Scrapblog of the Week - Week 4

Scrapability’s Scrap Blog of the Week -Week 4 2006 : Creative Collage and The Crafty Girl ^TM by Kelly Angard

 

I don’t normally frequent, as in daily, too many blogs. I’m a drifter, due to the sheer volume of blogs I do subscribe to. Kelly Angard provides two blogs which should be on every scrapper or mixed media’s bookmarks.

 Kelly’sThe Crafty Girl ^TM blog features all sorts of mixed media art. This art blog features collages, and Art Journal entries for challenges she’s taken up. Take a look our for her Technique Tuesday entries - both on The Crafty Girl TM blog and the Creative Collage one. Here, she gives us some tips and techniques with examples.

As the author of a scrapbooking idea book, "Creative Collage for Scrapbooks" published by Memory Makers; Kelly opened up a supporting blog for the book, called Creative Collage.

On here, notice the fantastic ATC swaps Kelly is involved with, and the many great techniques shared with photos, in her Technique Tuesday series. The latest - an Abstract Photo collage for a scrapbook layout, and how to produce weathered metal surfaces.

The Technique Tuesdays articles on this blog make it a must-bookmark for any of us, but then Kelly adds to it with some serious writing. Read the blog entry of 6th January entitled "Creating without Fear - A.K.A. "Getting out of your own Way" and you will find a piece which speaks to the heart of many scrapbookers and mixed media artists alike. 

Combined, both blogs deserve my own award for inspiration. Thanks, Kelly.
