CIP - Share the Song

Hi CIP followers! I have a layout from one of my art journals to share with you today. I doodled the picture, glued her on, and then used some die cuts, along with a fabulous stamp of Music Notes (by Ann Vento/Raindrop Echo Designs at Whimsy Stamps).The paint colors I've used are Antique Copper, Bright Yellow, Canary, Chocolate, and Onyx. I've also used the Resplendence Angel Dust glitter over the painted flower centers. Each of these items can be found in the Creative Inspirations Paint store.

CIP - Mini Album Dangle Charm

Hi CIP followers! I have the dangle charm I've made to go with the mini album I shared in last week's blog hop (CIP and GJS). I've used the new Resinesence (CIP UV Resin) in the bottle cap, and dyed some seam binding in the Sky Blue shimmer paint to tie with some brown ribbon at the top. I adhered the picture, added the resin, and then punched holes in the bottle cap. *Note - Punching the holes after letting the resin set in the sun made it crack from the pressure. While I actually redid it (punching the holes first) I decided that I really loved the cracks in the original and decided to use that bottle cap. In the close-up you can see the dangle charm attached to the mini album. Each of the CIP items can be found in the Creative Inspirations Paint store.

Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:

CIP and GJS Blog Hop

Welcome to the Genuinely Jane Stuios(GJS)/Creative Inspirations Paint(CIP) Blog Hop! If you came from Michelle's blog then you are in the right place. If not, and you would like to start at the beginning, please head over to the Creative Inspirations Paint Blog Here!

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!

I've used the sweet Flower mini album for my project, along with Creative Inspirations Paint in Sky Blue, Sea Foam, Copper, and Silver Frost.
