Bonus Day Yeah!!!








As a bonus this week for the tremendous growth of the site we have two more images from the Jolly Times Magic Coloring Book. Though the images are almost 100 years old they are timeless. I tried to make the color of the lines as dark as possible. The originals were a light blue for tracing. Hopefully they work for you. They sure are adorable. Unfortunately, the feed site meter on all of my sites has gone a little wonky and the numbers are all wrong. So I can't tell you what number we are but last I checked before the wonk it was around 6000 hits. Our guest designer for this bonus is Rebecca Daniels. I am amazed by the project she has put together for us. The project is a desk calendar, complete with a small vintage calendar and post it note pad. She colored it with copic sketch markers and mounted it to distressed cardstock and designer paper. The designer paper and Kraft cardstock are from Jillibean Soup. The blue and white cardstock is from Stampin UP! (Bashful Blue and Whisper White). The ribbon is from Cosmo Cricket. After distressing the edges of the paper, she sponged the edges to enhance the worn look. The other stamps are also Vintage, from companies no longer in business. The paw print is PSX and the My Dog stamps is from Imaginations.

Rebecca Daniels Bio:

I have been rubber stamping and various paper arts since 1988. In addition to paper crafting, I enjoy all forms of multimedia and crafting, my favorites of which include oil painting, photography, and silver smithing for jewelry. I work full time to support my rubber habit, but I'm also the owner of a small cooperative art studio, Delaware Artisans Cooperative. You can see more of Rebecca's work at her blog Blooming Pink. I can't wait to see what all of you create so be sure to post it in the comments so we all can enjoy your work.

    The Program Committee of the Seoul Conference is inviting established Special Interest Groups and Chapters of the System Dynamics Society, as well as informal groups, to take advantage of the Bonus Day. This is an opportunity for groups to share information in much greater depth than before, and to do hands-on work, using the conference time and venue as a natural gathering moment and place. While these working meetings tend to happen during the course of the conference, they are normally rushed and participants’ attention is often divided among many competing interests.
