Before we get to the good stuff, let me give you a little info on each of these two awesome companies: 

Genuinely Jane Studios manufactures small and medium size wood mini-albums for mixed media, scrapbooking and altered art in many shapes and sizes. All of the albums are hand made right on site in their Central Missouri facility. In addition to their albums, they also carry other art supplies in their online store. 

Creative Inspirations Paint, our other company in this team up manufactures non-toxic, water based, translucent, shimmery paint that can be used for scrapbooking, card making, mixed media, altered art and more. They also carry embossing powders, glitter and UV resin. Using the paints is as simple as "Shake, Open and Play!" The paints are some of the most vivid you will find on the market and made in Washington State. 

All of the designers from both teams have joined together to show you what can be created using the albums and paint! Be sure to check both the Genuinely Jane Studios and Creative Inspirations Paint websites to see all of the wonderful products!

Genuinely Jane Studios and Artistcellar Team up Hop!!!

Hello all my crafty friends, I hope you find yourselves well!!  Well, things have been really crazy busy over here, with all the new wonderful adventures I am having with GJS!!!  That brings me to this weeks post.  We  here at Genuinely Jane Studios have had the pleasure of teaming up with Artistcellar, creator of some of the most wonderful stencils around.  Everyday this week we will feature a different project made by one of each of the DT members from each company, so this means that there will be one project showcased on the Artistcellar blog and one on the blog of each GJS DT member.  Don't worry you won't have to search for which DT member it is, you will be directed to them from Artistcellar   so be sure to check back everyday to see what the new project is for that day!!!

So what is this hop all about, simple, use a GJS book and Artistcellar's stencil in/on your project.  So this is what I came up with!!

I decided to do a 12x12 canvas.  I used the cover page of the Dress Form book (item G007) as the main focal point.  I gussied it up a bit and added it to the front of my canvas that I had decorated with paper's, paint, India ink. Artistcellar's Seven Jewels 6x6 stencil, modeling paste and Pan Pastels.  I added a quote that I pulled off the internet and coated them with Collage Pauge to make sure that they will not come off!!  

Please be sure to check out both Genuinely Jane Studios and Artistcellar, you 'll be sure to find something awesome and wonderful to help you create!!!

I hope you have enjoyed my project and that it inspires you to create something great!!

Until next time, Hug's and Happy Craftin!!
