Yesterday I posted a new challenge on the Street Team blog. Didn't have time to cross post over here last night since we were off to see Toy Story 1&2 in 3-D. So this morning I open up typepad and see they have officially switched the New Platform to be the Permanent Platform. Rrrrgghhhh. I don't mind learning new stuff....in fact I enjoy it. But come on, I liked the old format. Anyone else frustrated by the change? And this: I'm wondering if it's only a glitch, but the comments aren't being emailed to me anymore. AND leaving comments using a typepad ID never works. And responding to comments has gotten complicated. Ok, thanks for letting me vent...onward....it's Rockober! LOVE this time of year.
This marks the third anniversary of Crusading for Creativity! This month I invite you to Come Over to the Dark Side ;) It's not all that sinister...it's about using black paper or black backgrounds in your work because sometimes starting on a non-white surface can lead to new discoveries.
Earlier I showed you this cool punch from Lisa. Then this cool stamp arrived from Judi. Love these new little toys...but I wanted to work bigger on my black pages so I took inspiration from these shapes and made a new stencil/mask set. It was a beautiful day to spray paint and I must have made at least a dozen backgrounds. And how about those cool crows from Martha? They can be used as masks too! And the placemat? Perfect plastic tool for any kind of paint. Don't you see stencil opportunities everywhere?
Isn't that silver totally swoonworthy on black? Gah!
