Art Party Friday (Aug12): Mari Clarke

Hello, Crafty Maven’s!! This is Mari here with you today. My project highlights the use of the Nuance Magenta powder water colors that are so much fun to use! This product is an easy way to add a water color look to any project. I sketched the outline of South America, and then using the Nuance colors, I created the colors of the continent. I used the lids of the Dylusion paint pots and the Dylusion paints to create the Olympic rings. I used a couple of stamps and some alphas as well as an acetate piece and some sequins to finish up. Oh yes, and I also journaled about being a very proud Canadian!! I love our classy athletes from Canada. They are wonderful to watch and cheer on, as are all of the athletes.


You can watch my process video below.

Thanks for checking out my project! Mari

Free Flow Wednesday: (July 13) Mari Clarke

Hello crafty friends!! This is Mari and I’m here to share my layout with you for today.

I created the layout using Pink Paislee Fancy Free. I really loved the pastel colors in the inspiration and have been wanting to use this collection, so perfect timing! I used the flower embellishments I created with my circle punch to create a visual triangle on the layout. I used the puffy stickers and buttons from the collection to embellish the layout. I used some sewing machine stitching to add extra detail, including for the journaling area. Just a few stamps to finish off and a doily mat for the photos, and done!


You can find my process video below as well as more videos on my channel here.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Sketch it Out Thursday:(June 9) Mari

Happy Thursday Crafty Mavens! Today we have Mari with Sketch it out Thursday. She used a sketch to create her layout.

This was a layout created under a huge time crunch, so using a sketch definitely helped. I used a sketch by Laura Whitaker; I love her sketches and highly recommend her Pinterest boards and pins. I followed the sketch very closely for this layout. It just worked and I was in a huge rush. I like the end result!-Mari-

Art Party Friday: (May 27) Mari Clarke

Hello and HAPPY Friday!! In the US we get a 3 day weekend today, which is always fun and exciting!! I hope everyone gets some time to scrapbook!!

Today we have Mari up on the channel with a gorgeous mixed media art journal page. It’s been a while since we’ve had a design team member do an art journal page so I was excited to see that’s what Mari chose to do.

“In this art journal process, I explain what art journaling means to me and why I love to do it. I am journaling in my large Dylusions journal, and have used Dylusion paints, Gelatos, Neocolors, and other miscellaneous products. The theme of the project is “open your eyes to see people for who they really are.” I hope you enjoy watching this simple process.” -Mari

Here’s a photo and the video below of her project:

Hello crafty maven’s!! This is Mari here with you today and I’ll be sharing a fun and silly layout with you today.

I was hanging out with my daughter and we decided to check out the Snap Chat App. My students at school are obsessed with the App and use it as their main form of communication. I bug them that there are better ways to communicate…what would you expect from an English teacher, right? My daughter and I proceeded to take these photos; next thing you know I am making a layout. I guess Snap Chat is pretty cool after all 🙂

Here’s my process video:

I love how Mari added pattern paper to her art journal page, and it looks flawless, like is is just suppose to be there. I also the the quote on the strips of paper. The typewriter font is so fun!!
