• Mod Podge Rocks! Book Review and Giveaway courtesy of Lark Crafts

    Hi. My name is Mod Podge.

    What? You didn’t know that? Ok so my name is Jaderbomb but if I could create a “craft kid” I would totally name “it” Mod Podge. If you follow my blog then you should be familiar with this container of AWESOMENESS! Seriously. It’s like magic in a container. A really pretty container.

    My friend Amy Anderson wrote this AMAZING book  Mod Podge Rocks! Decoupage Your World.

    She is also the founder of the blog Mod Podge Rocks!

    I remember the first time I used Mod Podge. I coated my paper and freaked out because it was completely white. Being the crafter that I am I never read the instructions which simply stated it dries clear. I actually started crying because it was a craft I was working on for a couple of days and was VERY happy with the way it turned out. I thought I ruined it (no fist pump insert here).

    UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING.

    When my eyes landed on the craft I think my heart skipped a beat and instead of being happy about how the project ended my brain immediately started thinking about what it could do next with Mod Podge.

    This is where the addiction started.

    If you have never used Mod Podge or you have but are not aware of just how much you can do with it, then this book is for you. It has over 40 projects teaching you different ways you can use Mod Podge. The crafts in this book are fun and creative.  There are a ton of techniques and tricks in the book to make your experience using Mod Podge AMAZING!

     

    This here is my friend Amy Anderson! Isn’t she cute as a button. (hehe) I wanted to show you a sneak peak of some of the crafts in the book. These are just the ones that really got my attention so put your seatbelt’s on because we are about to Mod Podge the world!

    Ok. Bottom line. This is the cutest thing since sliced bread. I love working with bottle caps because you can put fun images in the center and make them very unique. I bet you would of never thought a now and later wrapper would be this cute on a person, right! Amy always proves us all wrong!

    I love this stool on the left. It’s a great way to dress up any room in your house!
    Check out the puzzle message board. Perfect for everyone!

     

    I love taking something I have and adding a special touch to it.

    Decorate a vintage suitcase…

    Dress up your personal space with this fun Christmas glass block…

     

    I love that the book is a soft cover. It really makes it easy to tote around or use while crafting. It’s filled with 128 pages of awesome material. The book is broken up into sections like:

    WEARABLES
    HOME DECOR
    & HOLIDAY

    In the beginning of the book there is a quick run down on each Mod Podge Primer. This is very helpful if you are not all that familiar with the product. Even if you are familiar it’s a great refreshment course!

    Here are a few different Mod Podge Primers:

    GLOSS
    MATTE
    SATIN
    HARD COAT
    FABRIC (LOVE)
    PAPER
    OUTDOOR (HELLOOOO)
    SPARKLE (HEAVEN IN A CONTAINER BTW)
    and a very fun Mod Podge product called:
    DIMENSIONAL MAGIC

    I promise you when you get this book your brain will be FILLED with ideas!

     I know what your thinking. You need this book. Maybe for yourself or you might know someone who will fall in love with it also! I think YOU need it!

      I’ve been obsessed with Mod Podge since I was a 6-year-old, Brownie Scout making all kinds of awesomeness at craft time. Oh the wonders that container holds! I think my heart still skips a beat every time I go to that aisle at the craft supply store. And now there are SO MANY varieties to choose from!! ^_^

Once I started looking more closely at Mod Podge, I just wanted to play and try them all!!! This book is the perfect answer to my desire to experiment without wasting my precious Mod Podge.

      In other words, help me work and play in an economical fashion, please!!! Pick me to win this book, because Mod Podge really does rock!

      I found out about the MOD PODGE love when I visited a craft fair earlier this year. I thought…..what the heck it’s PVA glue and what I tried to do looked all white and messy. But oh my the next morning……that’s when I fell in love. I am a novice with this Mod Podge Guy but we are now falling in love with each other and I introduce him to other projects slowly. I follow MOD Podge rocks and now your blog and both of your FB pages, even more reason to fall in love with the guy! Of course I would love to win this book. Have a lovely week Heather xxx

      I still think it’s so funny that all the things my dad did when I was a kid are popular again! I’v usually got a jar of Mod Podge around, and just need a good excuse to use it. Hpw about a magnetic checkers/chess set for travelling?

      I’m a new stay-at-home mom really digging into the arts & crafts world. However, the one thing I haven’t dabbled in (crazy as it may sound) is Mod Podge, it is next on my list & my reason for entering this give-away. So many wonderful uses for this amazing tool Amy has in her book that I would love to get my hands on!

I’ve never tried the glitter Mod Podge and I’m ready to sparkle up my crafts (Blingity Bling). I’m actually interested in learning new technique’s in applying this awesomeness to my crafts.
