Mixed Media @ Webster's Pages

From Webster's Pages Blog ;) 

" Jaz Lee often does "off the page" type projects, and we often gasp when we see them! Here, Jaz is turning junk into art by starting with a recycled box as her base: 

Believe it or not, Jaz prepared the box for altering in five simple steps:
Step One: Layer tissue paper all over the box 
Step Two: Apply Mod Podge. Then gesso.
Step Three: Mist with mask. Then mist the top of the board till its wet enough to drip down.
Step Four: Randomly add glitter.
 
 
But it's Step Five where she really shines! 
Step Five: Embellish using cutouts from Webster's Pages papers and products from Webster's Pages. You could stare at these photos for hours and still not see everything there is to see here. Wow! "

Sincere Thank you D&K for your gorgeous photo.
Hope you like the gift ;) 
Thank you for dropping by.
love,
jaz

Goodbye Hambly Blog Hop



Sharing with you some of my work created with Hambly Products ;)




As all of you may know by now, Hambly Studio is closing down. Harry Hambly is retiring.
 
Harry Hambly not only produces scrapbook papers but Hambly Studios has been in business for more than thirty five years. 
I have also learnt that Harry Hambly used to design posters and stickers in the '60's. He was Corita Kent's printer. Some informations hereand here's an article here on the Hambly history.

The first year I started scrapbooking, I was always hoping that I would one day have the honour to be a part of Hambly Studio's Design Team. I always wanted to know more about Hambly and their products as they are so very unique and I love Hambly transparencies so much. 

Last year when I received the email invitation to be a DT for Hambly Studios, I was so excited. and now...with the closing down news of Hambly, sniff sniff...bidding adieu is so difficult but I will always remember the very fond memories I have had of Hambly, in a long time to come.

Here's the order of the Hop;)

Allison Kreft Abad
Felicitas Klink
Iris Babao Uy
Janna Werner
Jennifer Rzasa
Karin Cazenave-Tapie
