Hello, Daniela Dobson here with a Christmas themed mixed media canvas.

 Hi there!
It´s Katarina here again, and today I´m going to share with you a cute little altered project I did last night.

This is such an easy project to do, the birdhouse made of veneer,  I found at a local flowershop, and all I did was to decoreate it and bling it up a bit.

As a first step I wanted to give the house a nice structure, so I added some Gesso from the Textural Accents sampler pack, and after that I used my Pitt Artist Pen® Big Brush  Warm Grey V274, (from the Mix & Match, Mixed Media sampler- Neutral) my inking tool, and a template to make a nice touch to the birdhouse surface.

Hi there!

Katarina here with today's guest designer blog post.

I´m having such a fun time being on the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Guest Design team, and with my second blog post, I'm going to share a small video showing off how I worked this cool page about my baby boy.

I wanted to capture the energy my boy has in to the page, and I love this stencil with all the sprockets.. and being a mother of an energetic child it needs a big machinery of good nerves, a
fast lane to the ER and a big loving heart.

I hope that you will enjoy my video..

Hello everyone!

Miae here with another Faber Castell Design Memory Craft® project to share with you. Although I’m primarily a scrapbooker I also enjoy making art journal pages. Today I’ve got a video (my first ever!) that shows my art journaling process.

I used my Stamper’s Big Brush Pens, PITT® Artist pen, and Metallic Gelato™ to create my page. Enjoy!

I have so many memories of of my dad---always wearing his khaki pants.   So in remembrance of him, I opted to create this fall fabric  wreath made from a pair of his favorite khakis.   And as part of the Faber-Castel Design Memory Craft Mix & Match design team....I found this project to be good craft therapy plus Faber-Castell makes the medium and color combos a cinch for any level of crafting!

Hello, Tiffany here with a fun festive tutorial! The air has cooled and the the leaves have begun to fall here in Washington State and I can't help but to break out the Fall Decor! I'm sure you're just as excited as I am to welcome in a new season, especially one as beautiful as Autumn!
