Multiple Blogs

I find most of us are working with more than one blog these days.  Since they serve different purposes it is difficult to combine them.  How are you doing with yours?
Here is an update to my SU business blog: tp://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/trishalger/blog?directBlogUrl=/blog/2019194/entry/old_olive   
I love, love, love my Old Olive as you can tell.
What is your favorite color?

GRUNGEBOARD

My first contact with GRUNGEBOARD was during a trip to Payson for my anniversary. At http://www.paperandmetalscrappers.com/ Bob & I went in to browse. (yes ladies my husband loves to shop & he loves to buy me anything I am interested in...in fact he overspends! Enough rabbit trails.) I loved the shapes & the textures of GRUNGEBOARD & so I bought some, but it wasn't until my youngest daughter, Kim, & I went to the store for the Scrapper's Shop Hop that we were shown the alcohol inks & how amazing they worked with the GRUNGEBOARD. I was hooked!
Since I love to create individual gifts, I had to incorporate the GRUNGEBOARD into my jewelry design. Gorgeous Glamorous GRUNGE Jewelry was born!
I am still experimenting with techniques & products and noting the results.

Example: If you turn over a round GRUNGEBOARD shape and apply direct heat to the back it will begin to curl & become concave. I do this after I apply the inks, but before I seal it.
More on this later.
P.S. I have been invited to teach this in Mesa at http://www.mysticpaper.com/ this fall. I'll post the particulars when I have them.

BTW it looks to be brite & fare today with the possibility of scorching heat mingled with oppressive humidity.
