Hey Savages, Kim here with my full reveal of projects created with the
Swirlydoos November *Market Street* monthly kit. This kit is so jammed
packed with the gorgeous 49 and Market papers. You have got to get one,
if you don't already subscribe.
Here is a look at this gorgeous kit and add-ons again;

Earlier
this week we gave you a little preview of the kit by showing you layouts from all the designers. Today I'm doing my full reveal.
This month we have a new sketch designer, ME!! I was so excited to try my hand at sketch designing. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it is fun. Hope you like the new sketch designs, they are made to go more with the kit and it's contents.
This month we have a new sketch designer, ME!! I was so excited to try my hand at sketch designing. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it is fun. Hope you like the new sketch designs, they are made to go more with the kit and it's contents.
Here is the sketch again:
Here
is my take on the sketch. This kit is full of beautiful fun floral
papers, but I chose to go with a more solid colored sheet. The colors
are so perfect for me. The colors of the papers go so well with my
photo. I snuck this selfie in the ladies room of the restaurant we went
to to celebrate my birthday, it had great lighting.
The
kits and add-ons are jam-packed, so I used very few things from my
stash. A few stamps, the cameo and clock and a doily. Lots of layering
and some distressing to complete my page.
Next up is another layout. I used an older picture from a visit to see my dad.
I
did some paper tearing here. The chipboard frame from the main kit, I
just used inka gold from the mediums kit on it.. The chip board title is
from my stash and is also treated with the inka gold. The flowers are a
mix from my stash and the main kit. There is a bit of masking, misting
and stamping in the background. This layout is for the All That Flutters Challenge on the forums, hence the butterfly.
Next
up is a Canvas piece. I created this using the Project Kit add on. In
the kit you get the LOVE letters and the canvas, plus a few other
goodies.
I
had so much fun (and got really messy) creating this. I used a peeled
paint technique on the letter using the paints that came in the kit and a
glitter paint from my stash. Once the letters were done I went to work
on the canvas background. It was a fun project.
I have a step-by-step video on on the entire canvas. Here is part 1 on the peeled paint technique I used on the letters:
That's it for today. Come back next week for Part 2 of the Canvas and more projects created with the November Market Street Kit
That's
all I have for now, so thanks for stopping by. Don't forget, if you’re

Hey Savages, Kim here with this Saturday's tutorial. Today I will be sharing several ways to alter your chipboard. In our November *Market Street* kit there were several pieces of chipboard to alter for your projects. Also, if you got in on the Swirlydoos Dusty Attic special order, then you are no doubt in chipboard heaven right now.
So, now that we have all this delicious chipboard, whats a scrapper to do with it. USE IT, don't hoard it. I going to share a couple of Swirlydoos videos showing you several different ways to alter your chipboard for your projects.
Grab your chipboard, your liquid pearls, your embossing powders and settle in for some fun scrappy time with Swirlydoos and Youtube. This first video shows you how to give your chipboard a distressed faux filigree look.

You know what's hot right now? Watercolor, so why not give your chipboard a watercolor look. Check out this video:
Looking for something simple? What about a simple vintage look?
Then check this video out:
These are a few ways to alter chipboard for your projects. Swirlydoos have more ways to alter your projects that we have shared on our YouTube Channel.. We also have some written step-by step tutorials shared here on our tips, tricks and tutorials forum.

Hey Savages we have a special guest on the blog today with a tutorial using the October project kit. Rae actually designed this this project kit and today she is sharing a video tutorial on her step by step process.
Happy Saturday!
It's Rae sharing a video tutorial that I did f using their October project kit. The kit was built based on a project I designed a couple of months ago, and I was thrilled to be asked to do a tutorial to share with you. 
This project is so simple, and can be made in a matter of minutes! The most time consuming part is applying the Prima rub on transfer, but it's easy to do, and is stunning on the wood plank from Jillibean Soup.
With the exception of using embossing powder on the chipboard, everything you see comes in the October project add on kit, including ALL of those gorgeous Prima flowers. You can purchase this kit, as well as a wide variety of others in the Swirlydoos store.
Check out the quick video tutorial here:
Thanks for taking the time to stop by the Swirlydoos blog today!

Hey savages, Kim here to share another layout I created with the Swirlydoos *Rose Garden* Kit. This kit was packed full of papers and embellishment from Prima Rossibella line. This is an amazing kit. Your pictures just really want to be on these papers. Once I started creating I couldn't stop.
Today I have a mixed media heavy layout.
I started this with a cardstock base. I like to do that when I am adding a lot of mediums to my paper. It helps to keep my paper from buckling, plus it gives it a stronger base.
Next I cut and distressed the edges of 2 separate sheets of paper and glued them down. The top sheet got a quick coat of clear gesso, so my mist didn't soak into the papers. The I did some stenciling with 2 different stencils. I topped that off with some random stamping (I used a waterproof ink because I was going to do some misting next. Didn't want my ink to run).
Then I started layering my picture, flowers, lace and bling. Once I had everything in place, I started adding the art stones and prills. After everything was dry, I added some more mist with a paint brush.
Here are some close ups:
