Spackle Tackle Technique

Those of you who were part of the Creative JumpStart 2013 saw the videos that me and my artist friends posted on my website throughout January. The videos are not available here anymore, since I have to make room for new fun things to come ..still thinking …but I thought it would be nice to repost my 10 technique videos over the next couple weeks- so that you have access to them whenever you want.

And now let’s jump to the 5th video in my Über*Media Creative JumpStart 2013 Workshop which was the Spackle Tackle Technique – one of my faves

If you have no external speakers on your pc – turn up the volume a lot (the audio is very low in this video)

This and the other techniques are part of some of my Über*Media Online Classes. They are there to free your creativity with techniques and how-to’s that go beyond one certain project. I want you to learn something new that you can adapt to your own style and can use for many projects to come.

Über*Media classes are dedicated to different kinds of media that cross a variety of materials.

I do have several Über*Media Workshops available right now for example Über*Media -PanPastel, -Acrylic Paint, -Gesso, -Acrylic Ink and -FoamStamplifier.

For my Creative JumpStart Über*Media Workshop I showed some of my favorite Über*Media Techniques that can be used in your Mixed Media, Scrapbooking, Altered Art and/or ArtJournal Projects.

And here are the supplies I used in the video:

Thanks so much for the “refresher”, Nathalie. I didn’t take notes during Creative Jumpstart (my first year this year to attend) and I’m sorry I didn’t. I loved it, though! I can’t wait to try this technique again!
Fondly, Tami

Nat…i have used this tech several times, because always the effect is different depending on on the colors and the spots of water created. !…thanks for replaying all your ten techs. Waiting for 20l4 Jumpstart!…Have nice Xmas time…

Shriek….or …5 more days

Shriek is all I can say…five more days till I fly out to CHA.

And in between I stil have to work on some projects for CHA, teach two workshops tomorrow and take care of my Designer Show Case at CHA (come by and visit my little showcase if you are there ;) !)

OH …and things need to be packed, laundry to be washed, people to be cared off, christmas decoration to be stored away, hairs need to be cut and households need to be cleaned.

Which means….: I will have to put this part of my blog for a couple of days on a little hiatus – you get enough of me – LOL- at Creative JumpStart 2013. It is awesome- I see so many wonderful things – and people are excited about the event and being creative and there is a huge amount of positive feedback.

But there is also a lot of questions about the event on all imaginable platforms:

And THAT means…since I have worked on that project for months now and the last days nonstop from early morning till late night...if you have any questions regarding Creative JumpStart – I won’t be able to answer you!

SORRY!

Not because I am a mean evil person…as some seem to think…no, just because I think I have worked very hard to provide you with a nice and free event and there needs to be a point where you are on your own.

It is massive and the signups are massive.

If I could I would hire someone to take care of questions…but alas – no such thing because this event is FREE!

So that means – if you have not received the newsletter, make sure

a) you signed up for the RIGHT newsletter. Not my n*Studio newsletter but the Creative JumpStart Newsletter- Sign up here!

b) If you signed up and you still didn’t get the newsletter or you have any other question – go to the FAQ page. 99.9 % of the question are answered by reading this.

If you after that still have questions- I am sorry, but I won’t be able to help you! Again- not because I am an evil person- but because I need to take care of the things that are my living – the ones mentioned in the second sentence. Only if I do that, I am able to offer things like Creative JumpStart also in the future- and I am sure that is understandable :)

I am wishing you an amazing day!

hugs

Wowsers- Creative JumpStart Summit 2013…but how do I sign up?

Some of you have already seen the huge announcement about Creative JumpStart Summit 2013 yesterday…and if not- you gotta check it out here!

The response in the first 24 hours is overwhelming- THANK YOU , THANK YOU , THANK YOU.

Already 1300 of you decided to join so far. But I also got a lot of questions on how to sign up – because some of you have never subscribed to a newsletter and I have to admit it is a bit confusing if you have never done it. So I put together this quick little video that explains how the sign up works. Because: don’t forget you can only get the free Creative JumpStart Summit 2013 videos with their urls and passwords as well win the many giveaways by our Sponsors and JumpStarters if you are subscribed to the newsletter!

[vimeo 56088424 w=400 h=300]

So go and sign up here!

We can’t wait for January 2013 – we will have so much fun!

huge hugs

Creative JumpStart 2013!!!!

creative jumpstart Video

Here we go again. I am so so so excited :)

After last year’s success of Creative JumpStart I decided to organize it again. We had about 4.500 subscribers last year! It was so much fun! So here is the scoop about it:

January is approaching–a month that is full with promises, resolutions and intentions. A month that for many is following lots of holiday celebrations, family gatherings and other end-of-the-year events.

It’s also time to start creating again. But suddenly there it is for some of us: that lost feeling on how to start. Here is the cure

I invited a group of wonderful, inspiring and creative ladies and gentlemen from around the globe in the mixed media and scrapbooking world to join together for the Creative Jump Start Summit 2013. We are coming together to show you some ways to get back into the creative groove and how to get your creative juices flowing. We want to share with you “3 Ways to …” help you jump-start your creativity in 2013.

Let me show you who is participating:

[vimeo 56193517 w=400 h=300]
Here’s what you get and how it works:

1. Throughout January we will share videos showing tutorials to inspire you –
2. You sign up for the Creative JumpStart 2013 newsletter HERE and, in January 2013, you will receive a daily link and password to unlock the view of the materials as soon as they go live
3. On some days our Sponsors will have a giveaway for you and you will receive two newsletters these days

4. You watch the presentations and you will be hopefully inspired to be more creative—all for FREE! If you like it you can donate to the cause – check it out here.

So come on—get inspiration from some of the most creative people in the community. Only 11 more days till we start :)

What are you waiting for? (Did I mention it’s FREE?)

What a Start – Creative Jump Start

The response to our Creative Jump Start Summit 2012 is making us so happy!

When I asked the other 21 Jump Starters to join and give their input on how they jump-start their creativity and share it with you I gave them the freedom to come up with their own approach. Just as their jump-start for creativity is their own approach :) I gave no big guidelines – I said ” You can do a video, slide show, tutorial -whatever you feel confident in sharing”.

I didn’t want them to be tied in guidelines that would turn into blockades.

And just as a white page might scare you….a task with open guidelines scared some of the Jump Starters…but they all overcame them and did amazing stuff!

They put their heart in there – you will see videos, you will see tutorials, inspirational speeches, ideas, photos and links. Some of them did a video for the very first time. It is all different and that is the beauty of it – there is something in those jump starts for everyone!

The response to this so far is AMAZING – we are totally blown away. Almost 4000 people signed up for this and your comments make this really a treat for us too. This is also what I encourage you to do – for this free effort of putting everything out there- comment on their Jump Starts – it is making each one of the Jump Starters happy. It is their reward for being put out there and doing something new and different!

If you just signed up and wonder on different things, like how to retrieve older jump starts or you have little problems with your passwords etc – check out this FAQ site– it is probably answering a lot of your questions :) I tried to answer those questions myself – each single one- but I cannot keep up with it anymore….LOL – for a single person it is just not doable.

If you have been inspired by the Creative Jump Start to create something we would love to see it- send us a link, comment here with the link, share it with us on Facebook or tweet about it with the hashtag #cjs12 so we can see it.

Thank you to all of you who are part of this and for your encouragement! You rock!!!

Have a creative day and jump :)

Nat
