Remembering Your Travel Adventures

Spring is here, and many people are hitting the road. This time of year we get lots of interest in documenting that special trip. This month is devoted to travel adventures.

This stamp by Tattered Angels is one of my favorite new releases!

Tattered Angels – Screen Prints – Tattered Traveler Clear Acrylic Stamps – Compass, BRAND NEW
Scrapbook.com

This compass could be used in more than just vacation pages. It is great to incorporate in all about me pages when you talk about the direction of your life or a relationship.

Another new travel inspired little goody is from the genius of Tim Hotlz.

Advantus – Tim Holtz – Idea-ology – Mini Mask – Compass, BRAND NEW
Scrapbook.com

This is a mask, whis is the negative use of a stencil. It is constructed of flexible and durable material that has a slightly tacky backing. Masks are perfect for glimmer mists, paints and inking. At less than $2, it is perfect to pick up for experimenting if you have been curious about masking.

Streaming Design

unKit will be embarking on an artistic experiment this April in our uStream broadcasts. We are proud to announce a series of broadcasts on design theory. During our series, we put traditional design principles to the test. By testing and analyzing these principles, we will become more confident in our design skills (or “skillz”).

Before we begin our design series, you will need 2 notebooks. One larger notebook and one pocket-sized notebook. They can be lined or unlined. Spiral, composition, or other. It is your preference. We will use these notebooks to make notes, test and analyze theories, and record our results. Think of this as a scientist’s notebook.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Our e-mail address is admin@unKit.com

Please note that next Monday, we will not have our unKit broadcast because it falls during Holy Week (the week before Easter).
