Yesterday I shared some art I made on the airplane and in my hotel room. Today I'm sharing several projects that I made in the midst of filming Scrapbook Soup in order to fill two holes. It's always interesting to make projects during filming — high tension. The projects have to look good and they usual require using very specific supplies and techniques, which can be limiting. I prefer to think of them as a fascinating puzzle that has to get done as quickly and efficiently as possible. An art game of sorts!
First up, I needed a project that was:
- extremely colorful
- showed off vellum adhesive
- showed off Decoration Tape
- used a Stamp Roller
This is what I came up with:
You can see the dot Roller Stamp in the background. I used vellum to help the title pop off the busy background.
I used the heart Decoration Tape to create the wonky photo mat and the heart embellishment — which takes advantage of the transparency of the tape (you can see that over the watercolor).
My next assignment was to create a collection of projects from project leftovers. Each project had to have a technique that could be demonstrated in less than 2 minutes. Here's what I came up with:
This card is a smash together of two projects from the show — I shared how you could take the design of a Christmas card and completely change the tone by changing the color scheme.
This is a simple version of my Junque Journal concept. I took the leftover bits from lots of projects, punched a hole in each of them and used a key ring to bind them into a mini album!
This card is a mashup of several projects — The background is a discarded leftover, the flower is one too, and the heart was poached from a scrapbook page. In the segment I share how to create the sentiment tag.
The flock of butterflies and the title on this page were created using a leftover scrap of painted paper!
So, there you have it, a few colorful projects made on location. I always learn so much about myself when I create under pressure. It's a great way to figure out what you *must* have to create and to force yourself to stop diddling around with decisions. Time pressure always forces a commitment!
Thanks for stopping by!

I like how the vellum looks behind the label. it’s good to see ways to use up our scraps too.

All of these “leftover” projects are great! I’m curious about the fabric flower part. How did you make that?

I’m going on vacay in a week and am trying to pare down my travel art bag to a more manageable weight.
Thank you SO MUCH for reminding me how one can make art from most ANYTHING!
PS – you’re looking GREAT!

Wonderful ideas, Julie! Love the concept of using leftovers–and you are a very quick thinker, it seems!
